4.6.1.1 Displaying Ethernet Port Statistics

Port Statistics display key statistics from the Interfaces Group and Ethernet MIBs for each port. Error

statistics on the traffic passing through each port are displayed. This information can be used to identify

potential problems with the switch (such as a faulty port or unusually heavy loading). The values

displayed have been accumulated since the last system reboot.

Select the required port. The statistics displayed are indicated in the following figure and table.

Parameter Description

Interfaces Group

In Octets

The total number of octets received on the interface, including framing characters.

In Unicast Pkts

The number of subnetwork-unicast packets delivered to a higher-layer protocol.

In Non-Unicast

Pkts

The number of non-unicast (that is, subnetwork- broadcast or subnetwork-multicast)

packets delivered to a higher-layer protocol.

In Discards

The number of inbound packets which were chosen to be discarded even though no

errors had been detected to prevent their being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol.

One possible reason for discarding such a packet could be to free up buffer space.

In Errors

The number of inbound packets that contained errors preventing them from being

deliverable to a higher-layer protocol.

Alignment Errors The number of alignment errors (mis-synchronized data packets).

Out Octets

The total number of octets transmitted out of the interface, including framing

characters.

Out Unicast Pkts The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested be transmitted to a
