Parameter

 

Definition

 

 

 

 

 

Time Last Cleared

 

A time stamp indicating the last time statistics were reset.

 

 

 

 

Link Status

Indicates whether the Ethernet link is receiving a valid Ethernet

 

 

 

signal (carrier) from the attached Ethernet device; up means

 

 

 

present, and down means not present.

 

 

 

 

 

iflnOctets

 

The total number of octets received on the interface, including

 

 

 

framing octets.

 

 

 

 

txTotalPkts

The total number of transmit packets.

 

 

 

 

ifInDiscards

The number of inbound packets that were chosen to be discarded

 

 

 

even though no errors had been detected to prevent their being

 

 

 

deliverable to a higher-layer protocol.

 

 

 

 

 

iflnErrors

 

Number of inbound packets discarded because they contain errors.

 

 

 

 

 

ifOutOctets

 

The total number of transmitted octets, including framing packets.

 

 

 

 

rxTotalPkts

The total number of receive packets.

 

 

 

 

 

ifOutOversizePkts

 

Number of packets larger than 1518 bytes sent out into SDH.

 

 

 

Packets larger than 1600 bytes do not get transmitted.

 

 

 

 

 

mediaIndStatsRxFramesBadCRC

 

A count of the received Fibre Channel frames with errored CRCs.

 

 

 

 

hdlcRxAborts

Number of received packets aborted before input.

 

 

 

 

ifInPayloadCRCErrors

The number of receive data frames with payload CRC errors.

 

 

 

 

ifOutPayloadCRCErrors

The number of transmit data frames with payload CRC errors.

 

 

 

 

 

ifOutDiscards

 

Number of outbound packets that were chosen to be discarded

 

 

 

even though no errors had been detected to prevent their

 

 

 

transmission. A possible reason for discarding such packets could

 

 

 

be to create buffer space.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note

ifOutDiscards is not supported on ML cards.

15310-MA specifications

Cisco Systems has established itself as a leader in the networking domain, offering a wide array of solutions to meet the needs of modern businesses. Among its impressive product lineup are the Cisco 15310-CL and 15310-MA routers, designed to provide advanced network performance and reliability.

The Cisco 15310-CL is a versatile platform that primarily serves as a carrier-class router aimed at supporting high-speed data and voice services. It is built to handle the demands of large enterprises and service providers, offering a robust design that ensures maximum uptime and performance. One of its standout features is its modular architecture, which enables users to customize their configurations based on specific application needs. This scalability allows for future expansion without the need for a complete hardware overhaul.

Key technologies integrated into the Cisco 15310-CL include high-density Ethernet interfaces and a comprehensive suite of Layer 2 and Layer 3 protocol support. The device is capable of supporting multiple types of connections, including TDM, ATM, and Ethernet. This flexibility makes it an ideal choice for organizations that require seamless migration between various service types. Moreover, with features such as MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) support and advanced Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms, the router ensures that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth and low latency required for optimal performance.

In contrast, the Cisco 15310-MA focuses on access solutions, providing a cost-effective entry point for businesses looking to enhance their network capabilities. It is well-suited for smaller offices or branch locations that need reliable connectivity without the expense and complexity associated with larger systems. The device supports a range of access methods and provides essential features like firewall capabilities, VPN support, and comprehensive security measures to protect sensitive data.

Both models benefit from Cisco's commitment to security and manageability, offering features like enhanced encryption protocols and user authentication mechanisms that help safeguard networks against threats. Additionally, they can be managed through Cisco’s intuitive software tools, simplifying configuration and monitoring tasks for IT administrators.

The Cisco 15310-CL and 15310-MA are ideal solutions for businesses seeking to enhance their network infrastructure, ensuring firms can keep pace with evolving technology demands while maintaining a focus on security and performance. Their combination of advanced features, modular capabilities, and robust support makes them valuable assets in the networking landscape.
