7-4 CHAPTER 7: ADMINISTERING ETHERNET PORTS

Table 7-1 Description of Fields for Ethernet Port Attributes (continued)

Field

Description

 

 

portLabel

32-character string containing a user-defined name. The maximum

 

length of the string is 32 characters, including the null terminator.

portState

Current software operational state of this port. Possible values are

 

on-line and off-line.

portType

Specific description of this port’s type.

requestedState

Configurable parameter used to enable and disable this port. The

 

default is enabled.

rxByteRate

Average number of bytes received per second by this port during

 

the most recent sampling period

rxBytes

Number of bytes received by this port, including framing characters

rxDiscards

Number of received frames discarded because there was no higher

 

layer to receive them or because the port was disabled

rxErrs

Sum of all receive errors associated with this port (summary report

 

only)

rxFrameRate

Average number of frames received per second by this port during

 

the most recent sampling period. Sampling periods are 1 second

 

long and are not configurable.

rxFrames

The number of frames copied into receive buffers by this port

rxInternalErrs

Number of frames discarded because of an internal error during

 

reception

rxMulticasts

Number of multicast frames delivered to a higher-level protocol or

 

application by this port

rxPeakByteRate

Peak value of ethernetPortByteReceiveRate for this port since the

 

station was last initialized

rxPeakFrameRate

Peak value of ethernetPortFrameReceiveRate for this port since the

 

station was last initialized

rxUnicasts

Number of unicast (nonmulticast) frames delivered by this port to a

 

higher-level protocol or application

txByteRate

Average number of bytes transmitted per second by this port

 

during the most recent sampling period

txBytes

Number of bytes transmitted by this port, including framing

 

characters

txDiscards

Number of transmitted frames discarded because the port was

 

disabled

txErrs

Sum of all transmit errors associated with this port (summary report

 

only)
