SMON updates these gauges and pie charts in real-time according to the
specified sampling interval. By viewing the relationships among these two

* Note: If contact with the device is lost, the graphs will display the
last data received until communications are restored.
Viewing the Switch Statistics Traffic Graph
The lower portion of the Switch Statistics window is a traffic graph. The
traffic graph displays selected variables as a line graph, in real-time. To
select the color coded variables you want graphed, use the check boxes
under the traffic graph.
The following table provides a list of the available traffic variables and
their descriptions.
