Interface Field Descriptions
The following table describes parameters on the Interface tab.
|
Name |
Description |
|---|---|
|
InOctets |
Specifies the number of octets received on the interface, including framing characters. |
|
OutOctets |
Specifies the number of octets transmitted from the interface, including framing characters. |
|
InUcastPkts |
Specifies the number of packets delivered by this sublayer to a higher sublayer that were not addressed to a multicast or broadcast address at this sublayer. |
|
OutUcastPkts |
Specifies the number of packets that higher-level protocols requested be transmitted that were not addressed to a multicast address at this sublayer. The total number includes those packets discarded or not sent. |
|
InMulticastPkts |
Specifies the number of packets delivered by this sublayer to a higher sublayer that were addressed to a multicast address at this sublayer. For a MAC layer protocol, this number includes both group and functional addresses. |
|
OutMulticastPkts |
Specifies the number of packets that higher-level protocols requested be transmitted, and that are addressed to a multicast address at this sublayer, including those that were discarded or not sent. For a MAC layer protocol, this number includes both group and functional addresses. |
|
InBroadcastPkts |
Specifies the number of packets delivered by this sublayer to a higher sublayer that are addressed to a broadcast address at this sublayer. |
|
OutBroadcastPkts |
Specifies the number of packets that higher-level protocols requested be transmitted, and that were addressed to a broadcast address at this sublayer, including those that were discarded or not sent. |
|
InDiscards |
Specifies the number of inbound packets that are discarded because of frames with errors or invalid frames or, in some cases, to fill up buffer space. |
|
InErrors |
For packet-oriented interfaces, specifies the number of inbound packets that contained errors preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol. For character-oriented or fixed-length interfaces, the number of inbound transmission units that contained errors preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol. |
|
InUnknownProtos |
For packet-oriented interfaces, specifies the number of packets received through the interface that are discarded because of an unknown or unsupported protocol. For character-oriented or fixed-length interfaces that support protocol multiplexing, the number of transmission units received through the interface that were discarded because of an unknown or unsupported protocol. For any interface that does not support protocol multiplexing, this counter is always 0. |
|
HCInPfcPkts |
Specifies the total number of Priority Flow Control (PFC) packets received by this interface. This number does not increment for port-level flow control. |
|
HCOutPfcPkts |
Specifies the total number of PFC packets transmitted by this interface. This number does not increment for port-level flow control. |
|
InFlowCtrlPkts |
Specifies the number of port-level flow control packets received by this interface. |
|
OutFlowCtrlPkts |
Specifies the number of port-level flow control packets transmitted by this interface. |
|
InPfcPkts |
Specifies the total number of port-level flow control packets received by this interface. |
|
OutPfcPkts |
Specifies the total number of port-level flow control packets transmitted by this interface. |
|
NumStateTransition |
Specifies the number of times the port went in and out of service; the number of state transitions from up to down. |
