Getting Information about Ports

Perhaps you want to know the type, status, and speed of a port, but you do not know its number or what device it is on. You can still find the information quickly if you know something about the text description that was entered for the port. In this case, you can choose Port > Search and enter a search word or phrase in the Port Search window. When you have the search results, use them to browse the Port Settings window, which gives you configuration settings and run-time status information.

If you want even more port informationfor example, statistics on link performance, dropped packages, and total errorschoose Reports > Port Statistics to display the Port Statistics window.
