NOTE:

The Unit Statistics screen provides an easy

method for viewing per-port performance. It displays

refreshed approximately every two seconds. The
counters are reset after the values reach approxi-
mately 4.2 billion. See Figure 6-2.

The TR Management screen appears.

Figure 6-2 Unit Statistics Screen

The Unit Statistics screen displays these buttons:

RECEIVED—The total number of frames that have
been received by the port including frames with
errors.

TRANSMITTED—The total number of frames trans-
mitted by the port, including frames with errors.

FORWARDED—The total number of frames received
and then forwarded by the port.

FILTERED—The total number of frames filtered by
this port. Frames are filtered because the destination
station was on the same segment as the source sta-
tion.

BROADCASTS—The total number of broadcast
frames seen by the port.

CLEAR SCREEN COUNTERS—Use this button to set
screen counters back to zero. This clears only counters
displayed in the Unit Statistics screen. It does not
affect the counters on the device. This prevents
remote SNMP stations from seeing network anoma-
lies.
