Description of Interface Statistics

The following statistics are displayed for the Ethernet interface only, either of the wireless interfaces only, or for all interfaces:

Admin Status (Ethernet/Wireless-Slot A/B): The desired state of the interface: Up (ready to pass packets), Down (not ready to pass packets, or Testing (testing and unable to pass packets).

Alignment Error (Ethernet): The number of frames received that are not an integral number of octets in length and do not pass the Frame Check Sequence check.

Carrier Sense Errors (Ethernet): The number of times that the carrier sense condition was lost or never asserted when attempting to transmit a frame. The count increments at most once per transmission attempt.

Deferred Transmission (Ethernet): The number of frames for which the first transmission attempt is delayed because the medium is busy.This number does not include frames involved in collisions.

Description (Ethernet/Wireless-Slot A/B): Information about the interface (e.g., the name of the manufacturer, the product name and the version of the hardware interface).

Duplicate Frame Count (Wireless-Slot A/B): The number of duplicate frames received.
