Table 38 Interface statistics for port

Statistics

Description

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.

MulticastPkts—IfHCOut

The total number of 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. This

 

object is a 64-bit version of ifOutMulticastPkts.

Discards—IfHCOut

The number of outbound packets that 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.

Errors—IfHCOut

For packet-oriented interfaces, the number of outbound packets that could not be

 

transmitted because of errors.

 

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

 

transmission units that could not be transmitted because of errors.

Internet Protocol (IP) statistics

Command: /stats/port <port number>/ip

GEA IP statistics for port 1:

ipInReceives : 0

ipInHeaderError: 0

ipInDiscards : 0

The following table describes the Internet Protocol (IP) statistics for a selected port:

Table 39 IP statistics for port

Statistics

Description

ipInReceives

The total number of input datagrams received from interfaces, including those received in

 

error.

ipInHeaderError

The number of input datagrams discarded because the IP address in their IP header's

 

destination field was not a valid address to be received at this entity (the switch).

ipInDiscards

The number of input IP datagrams for which no problems were encountered to prevent their

 

continued processing, but which were discarded (for example, for lack of buffer space).

 

Note that this counter does not include any datagrams discarded while awaiting re-

 

assembly.
