Enterasys Networks ENTERASYS ATX manual Rate, Viewing Interface Detail

The ATX Switch Chassis View

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.
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. 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, above, for a complete description of each parameter.

Viewing Interface Detail

The Interface Statistics window (Figure 2-15)provides detailed MIB-II interface statistical information — including counts for both transmit and receive packets, and error and buffering information — for each individual port. Color-coded pie charts also let you graphically view statistics for both received and transmitted Unicast, Multicast, Discarded, and Error packets.

To open the Interface Statistics window:

1.In the I/F Summary window, click to select the interface for which you’d like to view more detailed statistics.

2.Click on Detail. The appropriate I/F Statistics window, Figure 2-15, will appear.
