Viewing statistics on a regular basis allows you to see how well your network is performing. If you
keep simple daily records, you will see trends emerging and notice problems arising before they cause
major network faults. In this way, statistics can help you get the best out of your network.
Status Monitoring
The status monitoring facility provides information about the switch. This information may be useful
for your technical support representative if you have a problem. ExtremeWare XOS includes many show
commands that display information about different switch functions and facilities.
NOTE
For more information about show commands for a specific ExtremeWare XOS feature, see the
appropriate chapter in this guide.
Slot Diagnostics
The BlackDiamond switch provides a facility for running normal or extended diagnostics on an I/O
module or a Management Switch Fabric Module (MSM) without affecting the operation of the rest of
the system.
