L. Sta
Displays the current administrative status (logical status) of the interface. Possible
administrative states are Up or Down.
Interface Performance Statistics/Bar Graphs
With the statistics and accompanying bar graphs to the right of the interface
description fields, you can view the performance of your device interfaces at one
glance.
You can select the attributes of the statistics and graphs by using two menu
buttons directly above the graphs. These menu buttons work in conjunction to
determine what the statistics or graphs will display, as follows:
1. Click on the right menu button to select the base units to display in the
statistics and graphs: , , or .
2. Once you have selected the base units, click on the left menu button to
specify further measurement parameters. (The options from this menu will
vary depending on the base units you have selected.)
After you select a new display mode, the statistics and graphs will refresh to
reflect the current choice, as described below.
Raw Counts
The total count of network traffic received or transmitted on the indicated
interface since device counters were last reset. Raw Counts are provided for the
following parameters.
In Octets Octets received on the interface, including framing
characters.
In Packets Packets (both unicast and non-unicast) received by the
device interface and delivered to a higher-layer protocol.
In Errors Packets received by the device interface that contained
errors that prevented them from being delivered to a
higher-layer protocol.
In Discards Packets received by the device interface that were
discarded even though no errors prevented them from
being delivered to a higher layer protocol (e.g., to free up
buffer space in the device).
NOTE
Bar graphs are only available when Load is the selected base unit.
