Types of statistics

The data tables in the statistics dialog boxes list the counters, or categories of statistics being gathered, for the specified object. For example, the categories for ports include Interface, Ethernet Errors, Bridge, and Rmon. Each category can be associated with six types of statistics. Table 10 describes the types of statistics that are available.
