Statistical Values

Parameter

Description

 

 

Interface Statistics

 

 

 

Received Octets

The total number of octets received on the interface, including framing

 

characters.

Received Unicast Packets

The number of subnetwork-unicast packets delivered to a higher-layer

 

protocol.

Received Multicast Packets

The number of packets, delivered by this sub-layer to a higher (sub-)layer,

 

which were addressed to a multicast address at this sub-layer.

Received Broadcast Packets

The number of packets, delivered by this sub-layer to a higher (sub-)layer,

 

which were addressed to a broadcast address at this sub-layer.

Received Discarded Packets

The 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.

Received Unknown Packets

The number of packets received via the interface which were discarded

 

because of an unknown or unsupported protocol.

Received Errors

The number of inbound packets that contained errors preventing them

 

from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol.

Transmit Octets

The total number of octets transmitted out of the interface, including

 

framing characters.

Transmit Unicast Packets

The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested be

 

transmitted to a subnetwork-unicast address, including those that were

 

discarded or not sent.

Transmit Multicast Packets

The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested be

 

transmitted, and which were addressed to a multicast address at this

 

sub-layer, including those that were discarded or not sent.

Transmit Broadcast Packets

The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested be

 

transmitted, and which were addressed to a broadcast address at this

 

sub-layer, including those that were discarded or not sent.

Transmit Discarded Packets

The 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.

Transmit Errors

The number of outbound packets that could not be transmitted because of

 

errors.

Etherlike Statistics

 

 

 

Alignment Errors

The number of alignment errors (missynchronized data packets).

 

 

Late Collisions

The number of times that a collision is detected later than 512 bit-times

 

into the transmission of a packet.

FCS Errors

A count of frames received on a particular interface that are an integral

 

number of octets in length but do not pass the FCS check. This count does

 

not include frames received with frame-too-long or frame-too-short error.

Excessive Collisions

A count of frames for which transmission on a particular interface fails due

 

to excessive collisions. This counter does not increment when the

 

interface is operating in full-duplex mode.

Accton Technology VS4512DC manual Statistical Values, Parameter Description

VS4512DC, VS4512 specifications

Accton Technology is renowned for its innovative networking solutions and has made significant strides in the realm of networking devices with its VS4512 and VS4512DC models. These devices cater primarily to the advanced needs of enterprise and data center environments, providing robust features and cutting-edge technologies that enhance network performance and reliability.

The Accton VS4512 is a high-performance Layer 2+ switch designed for top-of-rack applications in data centers. It boasts a compact 1U design, making it highly efficient for space-constrained environments. One of its standout features is the support for Ethernet Flow Control, which significantly reduces data loss during peak traffic loads. This is essential for businesses that rely on real-time data processing and streaming.

In terms of scalability, the VS4512 supports up to 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports, which can be expanded using four 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplink ports. This flexibility allows enterprises to customize their network architecture to meet their growing demands, whether they are scaling up for more users or enhancing service capabilities.

The VS4512DC, on the other hand, is the DC version tailored for data centers. It offers similar features as the VS4512 but includes enhancements for power efficiency and redundancy, ensuring that operations can continue smoothly even in power outage scenarios. The VS4512DC features dual power supplies and advanced thermal management, allowing for improved heat dissipation and lower operational costs.

Both models support advanced Layer 3 routing capabilities, enabling efficient traffic management across complex networks. They also incorporate features like VLAN segmentation and link aggregation, which facilitate better bandwidth utilization and improved network security.

Security is another cornerstone of these switches, with features such as DHCP snooping, port security, and storm control to mitigate risks associated with unauthorized access and network congestion.

In summary, the Accton Technology VS4512 and VS4512DC switches represent significant advancements in networking technology, equipped with a comprehensive set of features tailored for modern enterprise needs. With their scalability, robust performance, and focus on security, these switches are positioned to meet the challenges of today's fast-paced digital environments, making them a preferred choice for organizations aiming to enhance their network infrastructure.
