Port Counters
The web browser interface and the console interface show the same port
counter data.
These screens enables you to determine the traffic patterns for each port. Port
Counter features include:
■ Dynamic display of counters summarizing the traffic on each port since
the last reboot or reset
■ Option to reset the counters to zero (for the current console session). This
is useful for troubleshooting. Refer to the Note, below.
■ An option to display the link status and further port activity details for a
specific port (console: Show details or browser: Details for Select Port).
Note The Reset action resets the counter display to zero for the current session,
but does not affect the cumulative values in the actual hardware counters. (In
compliance with the SNMP standard, the values in the hardware counters are
not reset to zero unless you reboot the switch.) Thus, using the Reset action
resets the displayed counters to zero for the current session only. Exiting from
the console session and starting a new session restores the counter displays
to the accumulated values in the hardware counters.
