Usage Guidelines

If you do not specify a port number, range of ports, or tag value, the system displays information for all ports; if you specify the no-refresh parameter, the system displays a snapshot of the data at the time you issue the command. To clear the counters, use the clear counters ports command.

The tag value may be associated with either a VMAN or a VLAN.

This status information may be useful for your technical support representative if you have a network problem.
