What does "Traffic in on switchports" show?

[Lars Kulseng]

Hi

I use NAV to, among other things, produce a monthly report about the
usage statistics in our network. For this I use Statistics -> "Traffic
in on switchports" + "Last Month".

What does the resulting view show? Is it the average amount of traffic
over the last month, or is it the total, or something else? I can't
quite make the numbers add up on the different switch ports.

Well, this depends on how you define an "amount of traffic".

The numbers tell you the average bandwidth usage (Mbits/s) over the selected
period, i.e. the last month. This could be a relatively small number
compared to your traffic peaks.
