The Switch Statistics tool provides details of the traffic passing through 
the switch fabric and allows you to detect problems on the switch. Once a 
problem has been detected, you can use VLAN or Port Statistics to 
determine more precisely the cause of the problem.

The display includes two sections:

•

Pie charts and gauges showing traffic breakdown.

•

A traffic graph that describes the characteristics of the traffic 
passing through the device. 

You can use the Switch Statistics tool for the following purposes:

•

Gaining an overall view of the switched traffic over a specific time 
period. This can help in discovering problems and analyzing traffic 
trends.

•

Discovering whether the device is being utilized efficiently or not.

•

Monitoring the load distribution among switches.

•

Detecting a large number of broadcast messages sent. This indicates 
there may be a problem with a station on the network.

•

Treating any variable with abnormal behavior as an issue that 
should be investigated further using other SMON tools.

In general, the Switch Statistics tool can help you spot problems that only 
become apparent from a high-level view over time. By periodically 
viewing Switch Statistics, you can detect normal and abnormal behavior 
of the specific switch configuration.

SMON collects and displays all information in real-time. In addition, 
information collected during a session can be saved in a report. For more
