the port's link status for either sample is LINK, or•
the port's link status for both samples is NO LINK, but the bytes transferred values for
both samples are not equal.

Alert
A yellow alert icon in this column signifies that the report data for this table entry is questionable.
It indicates that:
there aren't enough data samples in the selected time period to generate report data. At least
two data samples (either two archives, or one archive and current data) are required for each
device. Devices with no data samples or only one data sample will display Unknown for some
or all of their results.
•
between the data samples ports were removed, and the port's link status in the first data
sample is NO LINK. This causes the validity of the data to be in question because there is no
way to determine if bytes had been transferred by a port before it was removed, and therefore
the report cannot accurately determine if the port is being used.

Port Results − Totals by Port Type
The Totals by Port Type view lets you view port data organized by port type: ATM, Ethernet, FDDI, WAN,
or Other. Your port type selections in the Port Attributes window determine what port types are reported on.
