Investigating Data Problems

If you suspect that there are problems with the data that Prime Performance Manager is displaying, perform these tasks:

Enter equivalent show commands on the router. Is the data the same as that visible by Prime Performance Manager?

The results of these tasks can help you distinguish between a router problem and an Prime Performance Manager problem.
