Showing Port Statistics

You can display statistics on network traffic from the ports. These statistics can be

heavy loading). All values displayed have been accumulated since the last system
reboot, but can be reset to zero by clicking the CLEAR button. The current statistics
are not displayed until you click the REFRESH button.
