Port Status, Media Speed (10/100Mbps) and Duplex Mode reflect
the current conditions of the port and are read-only fields and
cannot be changed. Previously made modifications should be
noticed the next time upon entering the Port Configuration menu.
You can use the PREPORT and NEXTPORT commands to view
and modify the previous port and next port, respectively, as you
wish.
Switch Monitoring
The Switch allows you to keep statistics on the operation of each
port. The statistics obtained can be used to monitor the conditions
and general efficiency of the Switch.
Displaying Port Statistics
The display permits you to observe the condition of each
individual port.
To display Statistic Counters:
1.
Choose
Statistic Counters
from the main menu.
2.
Enter the desired port in the
Port(1-8)
field.
3.
Choose EXIT to leave the Statistic Counters menu.
Use the PREPORT and NEXTPORT command to observe
conditions on the previous port and next port, respectively. The
CLEAR COUNTER command clears all counters
on the current
port
to zero. This command, however, does not terminate or reset
the statistic counters on the other ports, only the currently
displayed port.
