For detailed information about Throughput Statistics settings, see "Configuring Throughput Statistics (on page
95 )."
When enabled, Throughput Statistics are collected for all ports, including Flex-10 subports, of each VC-Enet
module. Collected statistics include:
• Received bits (Mb/s)
• Transmitted bits (Mb/s)
• Received Packets (pkts/s)
• Received Non-Unicast Packets (pkts/s)
• Transmitted Packets (pkts/s)
• Transmitted Non-Unicast Packets (pkts/s)
Some conditions can clear existing Throughput Statistics for a particular module:
• Disabling the collection of Throughput Statistics clears all existing samples.
• Changing the sampling rate clears all existing samples.
• Power cycling a VC-Enet module clears all Throughput Statistics samples for that module.
Throughput Statistics are not supported by VC-FC modules.
The following table describes the available actions on the Throughput Statistics screen.
