The MultiSwitch 700 Device View

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).

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 or FDDI; 155.5 Mbps for ATM; 800 Mbps for a backplane port; 1000 Mbps for Gigabit Ethernet). Load is further defined 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 field will be added to the interface display area; this field 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, page 2-23, for a complete description of each parameter.
