Managing Ethernet MicroLAN Switches

5-2 Repeater Statistics

The Statistics Windows

At the Statistics windows, you can view accumulated statistics and error

breakdowns for each network supported by the Ethernet MicroLAN Switch, and

for each individual module and port. A pie chart graphically depicts these

statistics for quick visual reference.

Statistics displayed in these windows include:

¥ Active Users

¥ Bytes

¥ Broadcasts

¥ Packets

¥ Collisions (combined Transmit and Receive)

¥ OOW Collisions

¥ Giants

¥ Alignment

¥ CRC Errors

¥ Runts

The pie chart to the right of the statistics text boxes lets you graphically view your

statistics. The colors in the pie chart correspond to the colors for Packets (green),

Collisions (red), and the two error modes: Hard Errors (cyan), and Soft Errors

(yellow).

Accessing the Statistics Windows

To open the Repeater Statistics window:

1. Click on Repeater in the Chassis View menu bar; a menu listing the active

repeater channels will appear.

2. Select the appropriate repeater channel (A

- H) to reveal the Repeater menu.

3. Click on Statistics. The Repeater Statistics window, Figure 5-1, will appear.

TIP

Although you can launch most statistics windows from both the Repeater and Module

menus, the information provided at both levels will be the same, since each ÒboardÓ on the

Ethernet MicroLAN Switch is equivalent to a repeater channel.
