ProfiShark Manager — Counters
ProfiShark 100M / 1G / 1G+
The Counters tab displays all the ProfiShark built-in counters for both Ethernet ports. These 64-bit hardware counters are cleared at hardware startup.
| Valid packets | The number of valid packets of any size passing through the port. |
|---|---|
| Invalid packets | The number of CRC error packets of any size passing through the port. |
| < 64 | The number of packets not exceeding 64 bytes in size. |
| 64 - 1522 | The number of packets with a size between 64 and 1522 bytes. |
| > 1522 | The number of jumbo packets, also known as jumbo frames, exceeding 1522 bytes in size. |
On the right-hand side are graphical meters displaying current bandwidth usage, average bandwidth usage, and average CRC error rate for each port.
ProfiShark 10G / 10G+
The Counters tab displays 15 customizable counters for both SFP+ ports. Each counter can be configured to register packets matching a specific filter when passing through either SFP+ module.
| Edit button | Opens the configuration window for this counter.  The counter ignores that frame characteristic. These frames will show in the counter. The counter filters out the matching frames. These frames will not show in the counter. The counter only counts the frames matching this specific filter.IPv4 / IPv6: If checked, only packets originating from or destined to the specified IPv4 / IPv6 address will be taken into account. Packet size: If different than Don’t care, only packets with a size matching the configured filter will be taken into account. Enable on: Depending on the selection made here, only packets passing through either Port A, Port B, or both ports, will be taken into account. Counting mode: The Total and Rate figures can be displayed in either bytes or number of frames. Note: If multiple filter fields are configured, only packets matching all filters will be counted. |
|---|---|
| Reset button | Resets the Total figure for this counter. Does not reset the configured filters for this counter. |
| Matching filter |  This area displays the matching filters for each counter, displaying in red ( ) for ignoring, green( ) for taking into account, and grayed out ( ) for filtered out frames. The frame size is alwaysdisplayed in black. |
| Total | Displays the total number of packets or bytes matching the configured filter. |
| Rate | Displays the current rate of packets or bytes per second matching the configured filter. |
| Chart display | Displays traffic statistics in a graphical representation of the frames matching the configured filter. |
