Table 3-10:Port Statistics Display Fields (Continued)

Field	Description
In Multicast Packets	Cumulative number of incoming packets destined for the ports of a
	multicast group.
In Broadcast Packets	Cumulative number of incoming packets destined for all ports on the
	fabric.
In Discards	Cumulative number of inbound packets that the port discarded for a
	reason other than a packet error (for example, lack of buffer space).
In Errors	Number of inbound packets with errors that the port discarded.
In Unknown	For packet-oriented interfaces, the number of packets received through
Protocols	the interface that were discarded because of an unknown or unsupported
	protocol. For character-oriented or fixed-length interfaces that support
	protocol multiplexing, the number of transmission units received through
	the interface that were discarded because of an unknown or unsupported
	protocol. For any interface that does not support protocol multiplexing,
	this counter is always 0.
Out Octets	Total number of octets transmitted out of the interface, including framing
	characters.
Out Unicast Packets	Total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested be
	transmitted, and which were not addressed to a multicast or broadcast
	address at this sub-layer, including those that were discarded or not sent.
Out Multicast Packets	Total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested be
	transmitted, and which were addressed to a multicast address at this
	sub-layer, including those that were discarded or not sent. For a MAC
	layer protocol, this includes both Group and Functional addresses.
Out Broadcast	Total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested to be
Packets	transmitted, and which were addressed to a broadcast address at this
	sub-layer, including those that were discarded or not sent.
Out Discards	Number of outbound packets that were chosen to be discarded even
	though no errors had been detected to prevent their being transmitted.
	One possible reason for discarding such a packet could be to free-up
	buffer space.
Out Errors	For packet-oriented interfaces, the number of outbound packets that
	could not be transmitted because of errors. For character-oriented or
	fixed-length interfaces, the number of outbound transmission units that
	could not be transmitted because of errors.

Configuring Ports

CM provides different configuration options for each type of port. The options available to each port will appear in the Port Properties window.

Configuring a Port Name

To configure the administrative name of a port:

1.Expand the Chassis icon in the Tree frame.

2.Click the Ports branch. The Ports table appears in the View frame. A radio button appears to the left of each table entry.

3.Click the radio button of the port to which you want to assign a name.
