Utilization list for an uplink port
In this example, ports 1/2 and 1/3 are sending traffic to port 1/1. Port 1/2 and port 1/3 are
isolated (not shared by multiple clients) and typically do not exchange traffic with other ports
except for the uplink port, 1/1.
Syntax: show relative-utilization <num>
The <num> parameter specifies the list number.
NOTE
The example above represents a pure configuration in which traffic is exchanged only by ports 1/2
and 1/1, and by ports 1/3 and 1/1. For this reason, the percentages for the two downlink ports
equal 100%. In some cases, the percentages do not always equal 100%. This is true in cases where
the ports exchange some traffic with other ports in the system or when the downlink ports are
configured together in a port-based VLAN.
In the following example, ports 1/2 and 1/3 are in the same port-based VLAN.

Here is another example showing different data for the same link utilization list. In this example,
port 1/2 is connected to a hub and is sending traffic to port 1/1. Port 1/3 is unconnected.
