Port Statistics

Port Statistics display key statistics from the Interfaces Group and Ethernet-like MIBs for each port. Error statistics on the traffic passing through each port are displayed. This information can be used to identify potential problems with the Switch (such as a faulty port or unusually heavy loading). The values displayed have been accumulated since the last system reboot.

Select the required port.

Interfaces Group

•In Octets - The total number of octets received on the interface, includ- ing framing characters.

•In Non-Unicast Pkts - The number of non-unicast (that is, subnetwork- broadcast or subnetwork-multicast) packets delivered to a higher-layer protocol.

•In Discards - 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.
