Graphing port statistics

All graphing port tables have the following buttons: Line Chart, Area Chart, Bar Chart, Pie Chart, Export Data, Print table, Clear Counter, Close, and Help. To reset the statistics counters, use the "Clear Counter" button. When you click this button, all Cumulative, Average, Minimum, Maximum, and LastVal columns are reset to zero and automatically begin to recalculate statistical data.

Note: The Clear Counter function in Device Manager does not affect the AbsoluteValue counter in the switch. Instead, the Clear Counter function clears all cached data in Device Manager (except AbsoluteValue). To reset AbsoluteValue(s), use the Reset Counter function (Edit > Chassis > System).
