Figure 40 Port Statistics data window
The Statistics drop-down list is available on the Port Statistics data window, and provides different ways to
view detailed port information. Click the down arrow to open the drop-down list.
• Select Absolute to view the total count of statistics since the last switch or port reset.
• Select Rate to view the number of statistics counted per second over the polling period.
• Select Baseline to view the total count of statistics since the last time the baseline was set.
Click Clear Baseline to set the current baseline when viewing baseline statistics. The baseline will also be
set when the switch status changes from unreachable to reachable.
Table 18 describes the Port Statistics data window entries.
