Chapter 1
Network monitoring

The Ethernet Switches 460 and 470 provide features that allow you to
monitor your network, display switch statistics, and log system events.

This chapter discusses the following topics:

"System Log" (page 15)

"Port mirroring" (page 17)

"Port Statistics screen" (page 25)

System Log

System Log messages operate as follows:

Non-volatile memory messages are retrievable after a system reset.

Messages can be viewed while the system is operational.

All non-volatile and dynamic memory messages are time stamped.

When you restart your system after a reset, the dynamic memory
messages are deleted.

After a reset, all messages stored in non-volatile memory are copied to
dynamic memory. The messages copied to dynamic memory are time
stamped to zero (0).

Starting with Release 3.6 software, Ethernet Switches 460 and 470 save
the last 100 commands entered to a command history log in NVRAM.
This history is periodically copied from NVRAM to the remote syslog
server. For details, refer to Nortel Ethernet Switch 460/470 Security
— Configuration (NN47210-500)
.

In the Console Interface, the System Log screen (
