Interface Statistics
Data for this window is extracted from the Interface Group
in MIB II (RFC 1213). An entry is included for each
subnetwork interface. This window provides information on
the amount of traffic passing through this interface and the
associated errors. This information can also be displayed as a
graph by clicking STAT, or passed to the EliteView Log
Manager by clicking LOG and defining the required event
criteria. Refer to the sections on Viewing Statistics or Adding
a Log Process if these functions are required.
Field Description for Interface Statistics Window
Interface State The requested state of the interface including the following items. Note that when the interface is
in testing mode, no operational packets can be passed.
up:ready to pass packets
down:not allowed to pass packets
testing:operating in a test mode
Operational State The current operational status of the interface, including the same states as defined above for
Interface State, except where “down” indicates that the device is not capable of passing packets.
Specific Reference to an MIB with definitions for the media type (e.g., Ethernet) used by the interface. If no
information is available, this value will be zero.
