ABSTRACT:
An arrangement in a network device for displaying statistical data pertaining to data traffic that traverses the network device is provided. The arrangement includes a power supply arrangement for providing power to circuitry of the network device. The arrangement also includes a set of network ports, which includes a set of input network ports for receiving the data traffic and a set of output network ports for outputting the data traffic from the network device. The arrangement further includes logic arrangement for analyzing data traffic and for displaying statistical data pertaining to the data traffic. The arrangement yet also includes a visual display arrangement, which is configured to display the statistical data, whereas the data traffic is configured to traverse the network device between the set of input network ports and the set of output network ports irrespective whether power is provided to the circuitry of the network device.
