3.3.3 Simple Counter

The Simple Counter section allows the administrator to view information regarding the amount

of data that is being passed through a particular port whether the packets are good or bad.

Fig. 3-8 shows you a screen shot of the simple counter screen. As you can see from the

image all ports on the switch are displayed at one time. If the amount of data being displayed

on the screen is more that 12 digits long, the counter will be reset back to zero and continue

on.
