Ethernet Options: Port Statistics
The Ethernet Port Statistics offers a comprehensive overview of the Ethernet traffic
passing through the TC8518. It allows for a history of statistics that can be saved in
regular intervals. The Network Administrator can define the save rate in increments
of minutes.
Note:
Setting the Save Rate to less than 5 minutes will damage the flash memory.
The Statistics Summary also separates the traffic into transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx)
for each of the 3 Ethernet ports. The key Ethernet statistics that are monitored are
Frames per Second (FPS), Bytes per Second (BPS), and Bandwidth Usage
Percentage (BU%).
Statistics of Ethernet ports #1, #2, and #3 are independently monitored and
recorded, and a Port History and Event Statistics can be accessed by the respective
icons at the right of the Statistics Summary under the View column.
