Statistics Overview

Statistics provide important information for troubleshooting switch
problems at the port level. The AT-S87 management software provides a
versatile set of statistics charts that you can customize for your needs,
including (depending upon the chart) the ports whose statistics you want
to view and the color to use in drawing the statistics in the chart.

The three types of statistics charts are:

ˆ

Traffic Comparison. This chart allows you to display a specified traffic
statistic over all of the ports. You can select from 24 statistics types
and choose from 12 colors for the ports. The Traffic Comparison
statistics chart is described in “Viewing the Traffic Comparison
Statistic” on page 125.

ˆ

Error Group. The Error Group chart displays the discard and error
counts for a specified port and is described in “Viewing the Error
Groups” on page 129.

ˆ

Historical Status. This chart allows you to select from 12 statistics to
view for a selection of ports for however long this chart is running on
the management workstation. The Historical Status chart is described
in “Viewing the Historical Status” on page 131.
