3.2.3 Reviewing Port Statistics

The Statistics tab displays read-only statistics for uplink and downlink ports. Use this information to assess
if configuration changes are required to improve network performance.
To view the runtime configuration details of the uplink and downlink ports:
tab to display the following read-only information:
Displays the port's current name.
Displays the port's MAC Address. This value is read-only, set at the factory and
cannot be modified.
Displays the operational status of the port. The port status can be either Up or
Down.
Displays the current speed of the data transmitted and received over the port. Is
the speed slow in respect to the data type proliferating the port's supported
network segment?
Displays the port as either half or full duplex.
Displays the maximum transmission unit (MTU) setting configured on the port. The
MTU value represents the largest packet size that can be sent over a link. The
MTU is determined by the underlying network, but must be taken into account at
the IP level. IP packets (which can be up to 64K bytes each) must be packaged into
lower-level packets of the appropriate size for the underlying network(s) and re-
assembled on the other end. 10/100 Ethernet ports have a maximum MTU setting
of 1500.
