I/F Summary Information 2-15

The 9E312/9E423 Module View
In Unknown Packets received by the device interface that were
discarded because of an unknown or unsupported
protocol.
Out Octets Octets transmitted by the interface, including framing
characters.
Out Packets Packets transmitted, at the request of a higher level
protocol, by the device interface to a subnetwork address
(both unicast and non-unicast).
Out Errors Outbound packets that could not be transmitted by the
device interface because they contained errors.
Out Discards Outbound packets that were discarded by the device
interface even though no errors were detected that
would prevent them from being transmitted. A possible
reason for discard would be to free up buffer space in the
device.
Load
The number of bytes processed by the indicated interface during the last poll
interval in comparison to the theoretical maximum load of the network to which
the device is connected (1 Mbps for SMB-1; 10 or 20 Mbps for Ethernet/Ethernet
Full Duplex; and 2 Gbps for INB). Load is further defined by the following
parameters.
In Octets The number of bytes received in comparison to the
theoretical maximum number of bytes received.
Out Octets The number of bytes transmitted in comparison to the
theoretical maximum number of bytes transmitted.
Rate
The amount of network traffic during the last poll interval that was processed by
the indicated device interface. The available parameters are the same as those
provided for Raw Counts. Refer to the Raw Counts section, above, for a complete
description of each parameter.
Interface Detail Window
A Detail button at the bottom of the I/F Summary window invokes the Interface
Detail window that allows you to view statistics for each interface on the device.
Statistics are gathered concerning network activity occurring at the physical and
data-link layers. These statistics reflect the following types of packets being
transmitted and received:
