ICMP Statistics

The following table describes the ICMP statistics fields.

Table 13-4 ICMP Statistics

Field Description
icmpInMsgs The total number of ICMP messages which the entity (the switch) received.
Note that this counter includes all those counted by icmpInErrors.
icmpInErrors The number of ICMP messages which the entity (the switch) received but
determined as having ICMP-specific errors (bad ICMP checksums, bad
length, and so forth).
icmpInDestUnreachs The number of ICMP Destination Unreachable messages received.
icmpInTimeExcds The number of ICMP Time Exceeded messages received.
icmpInParmProbs The number of ICMP Parameter Problem messages received.
icmpInSrcQuenchs The number of ICMP Source Quench (buffer almost full, stop sending data)
messages received.
icmpInRedirects The number of ICMP Redirect messages received.
icmpInEchos The number of ICMP Echo (request) messages received.
icmpInEchoReps The number of ICMP Echo Reply messages received.
icmpInTimestamps The number of ICMP Timestamp (request) messages received.
icmpInTimestampReps The number of ICMP Timestamp Reply messages received.
icmpInAddrMasks The number of ICMP Address Mask Request messages received.
icmpInAddrMaskReps The number of ICMP Address Mask Reply messages received.
icmpOutMsgs The total number of ICMP messages which this entity (the switch)
attempted to send. Note that this counter includes all those counted by
icmpOutErrors.
icmpOutErrors The number of ICMP messages which this entity (the switch) did not send
due to problems discovered within ICMP such as a lack of buffer. This
value should not include errors discovered outside the ICMP layer such as
the inability of IP to route the resultant datagram. In some implementations
there may be no types of errors that contribute to this counter's value.
icmpOutDestUnreachs The number of ICMP Destination Unreachable messages sent.
icmpOutTimeExcds The number of ICMP Time Exceeded messages sent.
icmpOutParmProbs The number of ICMP Parameter Problem messages sent.
icmpOutSrcQuenchs The number of ICMP Source Quench (buffer almost full, stop sending data)
messages sent.
