Table 33 Ethernet statistics for port

Statistics	Description
dot3StatsFrameTooLongs	A count of frames received on a particular interface that exceeds
	the maximum permitted frame size.
	The count represented by an instance of this object is incremented
	when the frameTooLong status is returned by the MAC service to
	the LLC (or other MAC user).
	Received frames for which multiple error conditions obtained are,
	according to the conventions of IEEE 802.3 Layer Management,
	counted exclusively according to the error status presented to the
	LLC.
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.

Interface statistics for port 1:

The following table describes the interface (IF) statistics for a selected port:

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.
