Cabletron Systems CSX400 Rate, 2-15, CSX200 and 400 Chassis View, Load, Managing the Device

	CSX200 and 400 Chassis View
In Errors	Packets received by the device interface that contained
	errors that prevented them from being delivered to a
	higher-layer protocol.
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 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.
Out Errors	Outbound packets that could not be transmitted by the
	device interface because they contained errors.

Load

The number of bytes processed by the indicated interface during the last poll interval in comparison to the theoretical maximum load for that interface type (10 Mbps for standard Ethernet; 100 Mbps for Fast Ethernet). Load is further deÞned by the following parameters:

In Octets	The number of bytes received by this interface, expressed
	as a percentage of the theoretical maximum load.
Out Octets	The number of bytes transmitted by this interface,
	expressed as a percentage of the theoretical maximum
	load.

When you select this option, a Bar Graph Þeld will be added to the interface display area; this Þeld is only available when Load is the selected base unit.

Rate

The count for the selected statistic during the last poll interval. 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.
