Some conditions can clear existing Throughput Statistics for a particular module:
• Disabling the collection of Throughput Statistics clears all existing samples.
• Changing the sampling rate clears all existing samples.
• Power cycling a VC-Enet module clears all Throughput Statistics samples for that module.
Throughput Statistics are not supported by VC-FC modules. FC-capable ports configured for FC are not
supported for Statistics Throughput. These ports are excluded from the port selection list.
