Showing Port Statistics
You can display statistics on network traffic from the ports. These statistics

port or unusually heavy loading). All values displayed have been 
accumulated since the last system reboot, but can be reset to zero by 
clicking the CLEAR button. The current statistics are not displayed until 
you click the  REFRESH button.
