TopN Reports Overview
The Switch TopN Reports utility allows you to collect and analyze data for each physical port on a
switch.
The Switch TopN Reports utility cannot be used to generate reports on Multilayer Switch Module
Note
(MSM) or Multilayer Switch Feature Card (MSFC and MSFC2) ports.
When calculating port utilization, the Switch TopN Reports utility bundles the Tx and Rx lines into the same
Note
counter and also looks at the full-duplex bandwidth when calculating the percentage of utilization. For
example, a Gigabit Ethernet port would be 2000 Mbps full duplex.
