3.2.3 Viewing the Ports Statistics
The Statistics tab displays read-only statistics for uplink and downlink ports. Use this information to assess
if configuration changes are required to improve network performance.
To view the runtime configuration details of the uplink and downlink ports:
1. Select Switch > Port from the main menu tree.
2. Select the Statistics tab.
3. Refer to the Statistics tab to display the following read-only information:
MTU Displays the maximum transmission unit (MTU) setting configured
on the port. The MTU value represents the largest packet size that
can be sent over a link. The MTU is determined by the underlying
network, but must be taken into account at the IP level. IP packets
(which can be up to 64K bytes each) must be packaged into lower-
level packets of the appropriate size for the underlying network(s)
and re-assembled on the other end. 10/100 Ethernet ports have a
maximum MTU setting of 1500.
Name Defines the port name (as either ge 1-4 or me1).
Bytes In Displays the total number of bytes received by the port.
Packets In Displays the total number of packets received by the port.
Packets In Dropped Displays the number of packets dropped by the port. If the number
appears excessive, a different port may be required.
Packets In Error Displays the number of erroneous packets received by the port. If
the number appears excessive, a different port may be required.
Bytes Out Displays the total number of bytes transmitted by the port.
