Managed 24-Port with Dual Gigabit Switch

Port Statistics

Port Statistics display key statistics from the Interfaces Group and
Ethernet-like MIBs 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.

Interfaces Group

• In Octets - The total number of octets received on the interface, includ-

ing framing characters.

• In Non-Unicast Pkts - The number of non-unicast (that is, subnetwork-

broadcast or subnetwork-multicast) packets delivered to a higher-layer
protocol.

• In Discards - The number of inbound packets which were chosen to be

discarded even though no errors had been detected to prevent their being
deliverable to a higher-layer protocol. One possible reason for discarding
such a packet could be to free up buffer space.

• IP Multicast Registration Table - Displays all the multicast groups active

on this Switch, including the multicast IP address and the corresponding
VLANs. (Only displayed for Layer 2 mode. When the Switch is in multi-
layer mode, IP Multicast Registration Table is available through the IP
Menu.)

• IP Menu - Displays information regarding a variety of IP settings, includ-

ing subnets, ARP table, routing table, and multicast groups. (Not shown in
screenshot. Only available in multilayer mode)

Port Statistics/Statistics Menu

The Port Statistics/Statistics Menu allows you to view the port or RMON sta-
tistics.

• Port Statistics - Displays statistics on network traffic passing through the

selected port. You have a choice of viewing port or RMON statistics.

• RMON Statistics - Displays statistics for each port from RMON group 1

(RMON groups 2, 3, and 9 can only be accessed using SNMP manage-
ment software).

Select OK to return to the previous panel.
