Table 48 Ethernet statistics for port

StatisticsDescription

dot3StatsInternalMacReceiveErrors A count of frames for which reception on a particular interface fails due to an internal MAC sublayer receive error.

A frame is only counted by an instance of this object if it is not counted by the corresponding instance of the dot3StatsFrameTooLongs object, the dot3StatsAlignmentErrors object, or the dot3StatsFCSErrors object.

The precise meaning of the count represented by an instance of this object is implementation specific. In particular, an instance of this object may represent a count of received errors on a particular interface that are not otherwise counted.

Statistics

Description

 

 

 

 

 

Octets—IfHCIn

The total number of octets received on the interface, including framing characters.

 

 

 

 

UcastPkts—IfHCIn

The number of packets, delivered by this sublayer to a higher sublayer, which were not

 

 

 

addressed to a multicast or broadcast address at this sublayer.

 

 

 

 

BroadcastPkts—IfHCIn

The number of packets, delivered by this sublayer to a higher sublayer, which were

 

 

 

addressed to a broadcast address at this sublayer.

 

 

 

 

MulticastPkts—IfHCIn

The total number of packets, delivered by this sublayer. These are the packets that

 

 

 

higher-level protocols requested to be transmitted, and which were addressed to a

 

 

 

multicast address at this sublayer, including those that were discarded or not sent.

 

 

 

For a MAC layer protocol, this includes both group and functional addresses.

 

 

 

 

Discards—IfHCIn

The number of inbound packets which were chosen to be discarded even though no

 

 

 

errors were detected to prevent their being delivered to a higher-layer protocol. One

 

 

 

possible reason for discarding such a packet could be to free up buffer space.

 

 

 

 

Errors—IfHCIn

For packet-oriented interfaces, the number of inbound packets that contained errors

 

 

 

preventing them from being delivered to a higher-layer protocol.

 

 

 

For character-oriented or fixed-length interfaces, the number of inbound transmission

 

 

 

units that contained errors preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer

 

 

 

protocol.

 

 

 

 

 

Octets—IfHCOut

The total number of octets transmitted out of the interface, including framing characters.

 

 

 

 

UcastPkts—IfHCOut

The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested to be transmitted, and

 

 

 

which were not addressed to a multicast or broadcast address at this sublayer,

 

 

 

including those that were discarded or not sent.

 

 

 

 

BroadcastPkts—IfHCOut

The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested to be transmitted, and

 

 

 

which were addressed to a broadcast address at this sublayer, including those that

 

 

 

were discarded or not sent. This object is a 64-bit version of ifOutBroadcastPkts.
