The following definitions explain each field of the Interface Statistics screen:

Interface (Read-only)

This field displays the Interface number for which statistics are currently being displayed. Figure 5-25shows the Interface field displaying 1. This represents the port number of the module chosen by the user in the selectable field at the bottom of the screen. To view other interface statistics, refer to Section 5.20.1.

Name (Read-only)

The Name field displays the type of interface for which statistics are being displayed.

InOctets (Read-only)

This field displays the total number of octets (bytes) that have been received on the interface. This includes all octets from bad frames.

InUnicast (Read-only)

The InUnicast field displays the total number of frames received that had a unicast destination address.

InNonUnicast (Read-only)

This field displays the total number of frames received that had a broadcast or multicast destination address.

InDiscards (Read-only)

The InDiscards field displays the total number of inbound frames that were discarded, even though the frames contained no errors. This field may increment because the switch needed to free up buffer space, or the switch was being overutilized.

InErrors (Read-only)

This field displays the total number of inbound frames that have been discarded because they contained errors. This field represents the total number of errored frames, regardless of the cause of the error.

InUnknownProtos (Read-only)

The InUnknownProtos field displays the total number of frames that were discarded because the frames were in an unknown, or unsupported, format.
