Select port: Selects the port to view. Statistics are displayed one at a
time. Press the z to toggle between the ports and the optional
module.
Update interval: Press the z to select the time period between
updates. For example, an update interval of 5 sec means the switch

This also includes dropped frames and frames whose destination address
is mapped to the receiving port. It does not include frames that contain
errors.
