Table 9: Parameters displayed in the output of the SHOW IP COUNTER=INTERFACE command.

Parameter

Meaning

 

 

Interface

The name of the interface (e.g. ETH0, PPP0, FR0), or

 

“LOCAL” for the local IP interface. If multihoming is

 

enabled (two or more logical interfaces have been assigned

 

to a single layer 2 interface), all interface names will include

 

a hyphen (“-”) and the logical interface number.

 

 

Type

The type of interface; one of “Static”, “Dynamic” or

 

“Inactive”. A static interface is a permanent interface that

 

is active and in use. A dynamic interface is a non-permanent

 

interface created by Asynchronous Call Control (ACC)

 

when a dial-in user initiates a SLIP or PPP connection. The

 

interface will disappear when the user logs off, when the

 

router is restarted or when the IP module is reset with the

 

RESET IP command. An inactive interface is a permanent

 

interface that could not attach to the lower-layer (FR, PPP,

 

ETH, etc) interface for some reason. The interface is not in

 

use but remains configured and will become active if the

 

lower-layer attachment succeeds on the next RESET IP or

 

restart. The most common cause of inactive interfaces is the

 

deletion of the lower-layer interface. Inactive interfaces may

 

be deleted by the manager, but can not be modified.

 

 

ifInPkts

The number of packets received via the interface.

 

 

ifOutPkts

The number of packets transmitted via the interface.

 

 

ifInBcastPkts

The number of multicast packets received via the interface.

 

 

ifOutBcastPkts

The number of multicast packets transmitted via the

 

interface.

 

 

ifInUcastPkts

The number of unicast packets received via the interface.

 

 

ifOutUcastPkts

The number of unicast packets transmitted via the

 

interface.

 

 

ifInDiscards

The number of packets received via the interface that were

 

discarded.

 

 

ifOutDiscards

The number of packets to be transmitted via the interface

 

that were discarded.
