B-46APPENDIX B: CLI COMMAND DESCRIPTION

show interface <interface_name> counters

Echos - sum of ICMP Echo (request) messages sent

Echo Replies - sum of these messages sent

Timestamps - sum of these messages sent

Timestamp Replies - sum of these messages sent

Address Masks - sum of these messages sent

￿Address Mask Replies - sum of these messages sent

Displays counters for the specified interface.

INPUT COUNTERS

Octets - bytes received

Ucast - Unicast packets received

MultiCast - Multicast packets received

BroadCast - broadcast packets received

￿Discards - Number of inbound packets which were chosen to be discarded even though no errors had been detected to prevent their being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol. One possible reason for discarding such a packet

	could be to free up buffer space.
	Errors - For packet-oriented interfaces, 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 number of inbound transmission units that contained
	higher-layer protocol.
	Unknown Prot - unknown protocol in packet
OUTPUT COUNTERS
￿	Octets - bytes transmitted
	Ucast - unicast packets transmitted

MultiCast - multicast packets transmitted

￿Discards - Number of outbound packets which were chosen to be discarded even though no errors had been detected to prevent their being transmitted. One possible reason for discarding such a packet could be to free up buffer space.

Errors - For packet-oriented interfaces, the number of outbound packets that could not be transmitted because of errors. For character-oriented or
