Objective

The Port Statistics page shows a wide range of important port information that can be helpful for troubleshooting to see what went wrong and where. The implementation of a preventive approach to monitor the port helps the administrator detect problems early and to avoid potential problems. Being able to view the statistics and certain port settings are necessary in maintaining the device. The administrator has complete visibility into the status of the ports for example if the port is blocked or it is unable to forward the packets. Such problems can be identified through this page. The objective of this article is to view port status on the device about the input packets, output packets, errors, broadcast and multicast that takes place on the SPA100 Series devices.
