. The statistics window appears.
The default counters in this view are only the counters that are common to both 10/100 and Gigabit
Load Modules. If you want to include counters that do not appear in this view by default (for example,
Collisions), you can add them to the view. From a statistics window that does contain the desired
counter, you can drag-and-drop the counter into the multiple ports statistics view window. Also, the
rate counters do not appear by default, and they can be added in the same way. If you want to re-order
the list of counters in the window, you can re-arrange them as desired using the same drag-and-drop
method.

card.
To start packet streams on all ports on all cards in a chassis, right-click the chassis in the pane and

Start Transmit . Similarly, you can stop packet streams, and start and stop capture for all
ports on all cards in a chassis.

location. In this way you can arrange the statistics counters into any order desired.
