1.In the right-most menu field, click to select the unit in which you wish to display the selected statistic: Load, Raw Counts, or Rate.

NOTE

Bar graphs are only available when Load is the selected base unit; if you select Raw Counts or Rate, the Bar Graph column will be removed from the interface display.

2.Once you have selected the base unit, click in the left-most field to specify the statistic you would like to display. Note that the options available from this menu will vary depending on the base unit you have selected.

After you select a new display mode, the statistics (and graphs, where applicable) will refresh to reflect the current choice, as described below.

Raw Counts

The total count of network traffic received or transmitted on the indicated interface since device counters were last reset. Raw counts are provided for the following parameters:

In Octets

Octets received on the interface, including framing

 

characters.

In Packets

Packets (both unicast and non-unicast) received by the

 

device interface and delivered to a higher-layer protocol.

In Discards

Packets received by the device interface that were

 

discarded even though no errors prevented them from

 

being delivered to a higher layer protocol (e.g., to free up

 

buffer space in the device).

In Errors

Packets received by the device interface that contained

 

errors that prevented them from being delivered to a

 

higher-layer protocol.

In Unknown

Packets received by the device interface that were

 

discarded because of an unknown or unsupported

 

protocol.

Out Octets

Octets transmitted by the interface, including framing

 

characters.

Out Packets

Packets transmitted, at the request of a higher level

 

protocol, by the device interface to a subnetwork address

 

(both unicast and non-unicast).

Out Discards

Outbound packets that were discarded by the device

 

interface even though no errors were detected that

 

would prevent them from being transmitted. A possible

 

reason for discard would be to free up buffer space in the

 

device.
