window, select one or more ports in the Faceplate window and click the Port Stats tab in the data pane of the
Faceplate window. Table 28 describes the Port Statistics Data window entries. See Table 37 on page 124 for

The Statistics menu is available on the Port Statistics Data window. Click the down arrow to open the Statistics
menu and then use one of the following methods to view the detailed port information:
• Click Absolute to view the total count of statistics since the last switch module reset.
