Troubleshooting Tip for Port Stats
As a general rule, you should clear all the counters by choosing
Clear Port Stats
or
Clear All Port Stats
after you have resolved a problem. When troubleshooting,
keep track of the time interval when errors accumulate to judge the presence and
severity of a problem. (There is a link recovery hierarchy implemented in Fibre

purposes, you want to focus on errors that, as displayed in the
Counter
column,
increment very quickly.
