Viewing statistics on a regular basis allows you to see how well your network is performing. If
you keep simple daily records, you can see trends emerging and notice problems arising before
they cause major network faults. In this way, statistics can help you get the best out of your
network.
Overview
The status monitoring facility provides information about the switch. This information may be
useful for your technical support representative if you have a problem. XCM8800 software
includes many command line interface (CLI)
show commands that display information about
different switch functions and facilities.
Note: For more information about show commands for a specific XCM8800
feature, see the appropriate chapter in this guide.
