Hi! Is there any way to monitor the switch chip usage for the CCR 2216? We’re only able to track the CPU usage which is in 0% everytime but not the switch chip.
Cheers!

Switch Chip is an ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit, is an integrated circuit (IC) chip customized for a particular use), is different in nature from a General Purpose CPU.
Switch chip can forward frames at wirespeed, limitations come in form of functions and ammount of them
