The Gator Module View

Out Errors

Outbound packets that could not be transmitted by the

 

device interface because they contained errors.

Load

The number of bytes processed by the indicated interface during the last poll interval in comparison to the theoretical maximum load for that interface type (10 Mbps for standard Ethernet). Load is further defined by the following parameters:

In Octets

The number of bytes received by this interface, expressed

 

as a percentage of the theoretical maximum load.

Out Octets

The number of bytes transmitted by this interface,

 

expressed as a percentage of the theoretical maximum

 

load.

When you select this option, a Bar Graph field will be added to the interface display area; this field is only available when Load is the selected base unit.

Rate

The count for the selected statistic during the last poll interval. The available parameters are the same as those provided for Raw Counts. Refer to the Raw Counts section, page 2-10, for a complete description of each parameter.

The I/F Statistics window provides detailed statistical information — counts for both transmit and receive packets, and error and buffering information — for each individual interface. Color-coded pie charts also let you graphically view statistics for both received and transmitted Unicast, Multicast, Discarded, and Error packets.
