3.2.3 Viewing the Ports Statistics
The Statistics screen displays read-only statistics for uplink and downlink ports. Use this information to

which can be either displayed or hidden.
To view the runtime configuration details of the uplink and downlink ports:
1. Select Switch > Port from the main menu tree.
Name Displays the ports current name.
MAC Address Displays the port’s MAC Address. This value is read-only, set at the factory and cannot be
modified.
Oper Status Displays the operational status of the port. The port status can be either Up or Down.
Speed Displays the current speed of the data transmitted and received over the port.
Duplex Displays the port as either half or full duplex.
MTU Displays the MTU setting configured on the port. MTU stands for maximum transmission
unit. The MTU value represents the largest packet size that can be sent over a link. The MTU
is determined by the underlying network, but must be taken into account at the IP level. IP
packets (which can be up to 64K bytes each) must be packaged into lower-level packets of
the appropriate size for the underlying network(s) and re-assembled on the other end. 10/
100 Ethernet ports have a maximum MTU setting of 1500.
