I use NAV to, among other things, produce a monthly report about the usage statistics in our network. For this I use Statistics -> "Traffic in on switchports" + "Last Month".

What does the resulting view show? Is it the average amount of traffic over the last month, or is it the total, or something else? I can't quite make the numbers add up on the different switch ports.

Well, this depends on how you define an "amount of traffic".

The numbers tell you the average bandwidth usage (Mbits/s) over the selected period, i.e. the last month. This could be a relatively small number compared to your traffic peaks.
