Port graphing and Fabric View application
You can use the Fabric View application to view port performance as graphs. The Fabric View window
displays data communication rates and total errors for selected ports as shown in Figure 23 on page 129. You
can graph communication data rates using either frames per second or KB per second. For more information
about port graphing, see “Using the Fabric View application” on page 128.
Port Statistics Data window
The Port Statistics Data window displays statistics about port performance. To open the Port Statistics Data
window, select one or more ports in the Faceplate window and click the Port Stats tab in the data pane of the
Faceplate window. Table 28 describes the Port Statistics Data window entries. See Table 37 on page 131 for
information about port numbering and mapping.
The Statistics menu is available on the Port Statistics Data window. Click the down arrow to open the Statistics
menu and then use one of the following methods to view the detailed port information:
• Click Absolute to view the total count of statistics since the last switch module reset.
• Click Rate to view the number of statistics counted per second over the polling period.
• Click Baseline to view the total count of statistics since the last time the baseline was set.
When viewing baseline statistics, click Clear Baseline to set the current baseline.
