Switch Operation
Port Counters
The web browser interface and the switch console show the same port counter
data.
These screens enable 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.) Exiting from the console
session and starting a new session restores the counter displays to the
accumulated values in the hardware counters.
