Buffer Statistics
for Egress Queues You can also display the amount of memory that is allocated to each egress

queue. The allocated amount of memory is displayed in both the number of

buffers and the number of bytes. Buffers are 128-byte units of memory that

store packets in the queues.

Table25-29 lists the buffer statistics that you can display for egress queues.

These settings are determined by the switch. You can display them but not

change them.

Multicast Bytes Enqueued The number of multicast bytes that the port
queued. This number is cumulative since the
last reset of the statistics.
Broadcast Frames Enqueued The number of broadcast frames that the port
queued. This number is cumulative since the
last reset of the statistics.
Broadcast Bytes Enqueued The n umber of broadcast bytes that the po rt
queued. This number is cumulative since the
last reset of the statistics.
Frames Dropped Runt The number of frames that the port dropped
because they were smaller than the minimum
frame size of 60 bytes. This number is
cumulative since the last reset of the statistics.
Frames Dropped Parity Error The number of frames that the port dropped
because they had a parity error. This number is
cumulative since the last reset of the statistics.
Frames Dropped Huge
(> 24KBytes) The number of frames that the port dropped
because they were larger than 24,000 bytes.
This number is cumulative since the last reset
of the statistics.
Frames Dropped Keep Logic The number of frames that the port dropped
because of parity errors, frame sizes less than
60 bytes, flood rate limiting, a queue being
full, and frame sizes larger than 24,000 bytes.
This number is cumulative since the last reset
of the statistics.
Frames Dropped Packet
Memory Full The number of frames that the port dropped
because the queue memory was full. This
number is cumulative since the last reset of the
statistics.
Frames Forwarded to MAC The number of frames that were removed from
the queue and forwarded to the MAC address.
This number is cumulative since the last reset
of the statistics.
