For detailed information about Throughput Statistics settings, see "Configuring Throughput Statistics (on page

)."

When enabled, Throughput Statistics are collected for all ports, including Flex-10 subports, of each VC-Enet

module. Collected statistics include:

Received bits (Mb/s)

Transmitted bits (Mb/s)

Received Packets (pkts/s)

Received Non-Unicast Packets (pkts/s)

Transmitted Packets (pkts/s)

Transmitted Non-Unicast Packets (pkts/s)

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.
The following table describes the available actions on the Throughput Statistics screen.
