Monitoring and Managing the Director
Button Functions
The two buttons located at the right end of the title bar on the Statistics Values table
are:
•
Clear—The Clear button clears all counters to zero. Choosing this button
displays a Clear Request Confirmation dialog box. Confirming the request
clears the statistics in the hardware at the physical port. Note that this also clears
counters for other Product Manager users. An entry identifying when the statistics
were cleared and by whom is saved in the Audit Log.
•
Refresh—The Refresh button updates the data in the statistics tables and enables
you to compare values at any given time. Note that you can also refresh data when
you click the port’s bar graph.

describes the port operational states and the LED and attention indicators
that display in the Hardware View and Port List View.

corrective action is required to return the port to a normal operating state.
