Parameter	Description

Interface Statistics

Received Octets	The total number of octets received on the interface, including framing
	characters.
Received Unicast Packets	The number of subnetwork-unicast packets delivered to a higher-layer
	protocol.
Received Multicast Packets	The number of packets, delivered by this sub-layer to a higher (sub-)layer,
	which were addressed to a multicast address at this sub-layer.
Received Broadcast Packets	The number of packets, delivered by this sub-layer to a higher (sub-)layer,
	which were addressed to a broadcast address at this sub-layer.
Received Discarded Packets	The number of inbound packets which were chosen to be discarded even
	though no errors had been detected to prevent their being deliverable to a
	higher-layer protocol. One possible reason for discarding such a packet
	could be to free up buffer space.
Received Unknown Packets	The number of packets received via the interface which were discarded
	because of an unknown or unsupported protocol.
Received Errors	The number of inbound packets that contained errors preventing them
	from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol.
Transmit Octets	The total number of octets transmitted out of the interface, including
	framing characters.
Transmit Unicast Packets	The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested be
	transmitted to a subnetwork-unicast address, including those that were
	discarded or not sent.
Transmit Multicast Packets	The 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.
Transmit Broadcast Packets	The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested be
	transmitted, and which were addressed to a broadcast address at this
	sub-layer, including those that were discarded or not sent.
Transmit Discarded Packets	The number of outbound packets which 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.
Transmit Errors	The number of outbound packets that could not be transmitted because of
	errors.
Etherlike Statistics

Alignment Errors	The number of alignment errors (missynchronized data packets).

Late Collisions	The number of times that a collision is detected later than 512 bit-times
	into the transmission of a packet.
FCS Errors	A count of frames received on a particular interface that are an integral
	number of octets in length but do not pass the FCS check. This count does
	not include frames received with frame-too-long or frame-too-short error.

GSW-2692 specifications

The LevelOne GSW-2692 is an advanced Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet switch that is designed to cater to the networking needs of both small and medium-sized enterprises. Highly regarded for its reliability and performance, the GSW-2692 offers 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports, enabling seamless and high-speed data transfers across connected devices. With its robust design and versatile capabilities, this switch has earned its place as an essential component in modern IT infrastructure.

One of the standout features of the GSW-2692 is its extensive support for advanced networking technologies. The switch includes support for IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging, which allows users to create separate virtual networks for improved traffic management and enhanced security. By segregating network traffic, businesses can optimize bandwidth usage and reduce congestion, contributing to overall increased network performance.

Additionally, the GSW-2692 supports Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), ensuring loop-free network topology. This capability is crucial in larger networking environments where multiple switches are interconnected, as it prevents broadcast storms and enhances network resilience. The switch also includes features such as port mirroring, which provides administrators with the capability to monitor network traffic in real-time for troubleshooting and analysis.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) support is another significant advantage of the GSW-2692. With PoE functionality, it enables the switch to deliver electrical power along with data to connected devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points, eliminating the need for additional power sources and simplifying installations.

In terms of physical characteristics, the LevelOne GSW-2692 is designed for efficient heat dissipation and features a fanless design, which ensures silent operation. Its desktop or rack-mountable options make it flexible for various installation environments. The switch also features a web-based management interface, which simplifies the configuration and monitoring processes, allowing for intuitive management of network settings.

Overall, the LevelOne GSW-2692 stands out as a feature-rich, reliable, and high-performance networking solution that meets the demands of modern enterprises. Its combination of advanced technologies, scalability, and ease of use makes it an excellent choice for businesses looking to enhance their network infrastructure.
