z  Currently, the device is only capable of testing the cable status and cable length. For the testing 
items that are currently not supported, “-” is displayed in the corresponding output fields.  
z  Cable test cannot be performed on an optical port. 
 
Configuring the Interval to Perform Statistical Analysis on Port Traffic 
By performing the following configuration, you can set the interval to perform statistical analysis on the 
traffic of a port. 
When you use the display interface interface-type interface-number command to display the 
information of a port, the system performs statistical analysis on the traffic flow passing through the port 
during the specified interval and displays the average rates in the interval. For example, if you set this 
interval to 100 seconds, the displayed information is as follows: 
 Last 100 seconds input:  0 packets/sec 0 bytes/sec 
 Last 100 seconds output:  0 packets/sec 0 bytes/sec

Disabling Up/Down Log Output on a Port 
An Ethernet port has two physical link statuses: UP and Down. When the physical link status of an 
Ethernet port changes, the switch will send log to the log server, which in turn acts accordingly. If the 
status of Ethernet ports in a network changes frequently, large amount of log information may be sent, 
which increases work load of the log server and consumes more network resources.  
You can limit the amount of the log information sent to the log server by disabling the Up/Down log 
output function on Ethernet ports.
