Description
This screen displays a breakdown of the traffic received on a port by size
and type of frame.
Select Port: Selects the port to view. Statistics are displayed one port at a
time. Press z to toggle between the ports.
Update interval: Selects the time period between updates (press z).
For example, an update interval of 5 sec. means Local Management
collects and displays information every five seconds.
Length: Displays the number of frames received of different lengths. This
also includes dropped frames and frames whose destination address is
mapped to the receiving port. It does not include frames that contain errors.
Frames
Unicast: Displays the number of good unicast frames received and
transmitted on this port. Unicast frames are sent from one network
node to another network node.
Multicast: Displays the number of good multicast frames received and
transmitted on this port. Multicast frames are sent from one node to
multiple nodes on the segment.
Broadcast: Displays the number of good broadcast frames received
and transmitted on this port. Broadcast frames are sent from one
