2-67Displaying Port Statistics

Port Statistics display key statistics from the Ethernet-like MIB for each

port. Error statistics on the traffic passing through each port are displayed.

This information can be used to identify potential problems with the

switch (such as a faulty port or unusually heavy loading). The values

displayed have been accumulated since the last system reboot.

Select the required port. The statistics displayed are indicated in the

following figure and table.
