N3024 view port utilization, not statistics

Question

Is there a way to see port utilization in 'real' time ? Similar to Cisco's 5 minute thing in CLI. I can see statistics on the Web Administrator but that tells me nothing. I don't really care how many milions of octets went through. HP had a wonderful itilization screen that would give you real time overview of what ports are busy on the switch. Any recommendations ? P.S. Why would anybody waste their time putting all kinds of counters and statistics on the switch but what's really needed ?

There is not a command that shows Kb,Mb or Gb transferred just the octets that you found already. You could use port mirroring to monitor certain ports with network management software. Page 725 http://downloads.dell.com/Manuals/Common/PowerConnect-Nxxx6.2_CLIRef_en-us.pdf
