Using the
Raw Counts
The total count of network trafÞc received or transmitted on the selected interface since device counters were last reset. Raw counts are provided for the following parameters:
¥In Octets Ñ for octets received on the interface, including framing characters.
¥In Packets Ñ for packets (both unicast and
¥In Discards Ñ for 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 Ñ for packets received by the device interface containing errors that prevented them from being delivered to a
¥In Unknown Ñ for packets received by the device interface that were discarded because of an unknown or unsupported protocol.
¥Out Octets Ñ for octets transmitted by the interface, including framing characters.
¥Out Packets Ñ for packets transmitted, at the request of a higher level protocol, by the device interface to a subnetwork address (both unicast and
¥Out Discards Ñ for 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 Ñ for outbound packets that could not be transmitted by the device interface because they contained errors.
Load
The number of bytes processed by the selected interface during the last poll interval in comparison to the theoretical maximum load for the selected interface type (4 or 16 Mbps for the
Load is further deÞned by the following parameters:
¥In Octets Ñ the number of bytes received by this interface, expressed as a percentage of the theoretical maximum load.
¥Out Octets Ñ 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 I/F Display section; this Þeld is only available when Load is the selected base unit.
