SHOWING DEVICE STATISTICS

each port. This information can be used to identify potential problems with the switch (such as a faulty port or unusually heavy loading). RMON statistics provide access to a broad range of statistics, including a total count of different frame types and sizes passing through each port. All values displayed have been accumulated since the last system reboot, and are shown as counts per second. Statistics are refreshed every 60 seconds by default.

Note: RMON groups 2, 3 and 9 can only be accessed using SNMP management software.

Interface Statistics

Received Octets	The total number of octets received on the

Received Unicast	The number of subnetwork-unicast packets
Packets	delivered to a higher-layer protocol.

Received Multicast	The number of packets, delivered by this

	addressed to a multicast address at this sub-layer.

Received Broadcast	The number of packets, delivered by this
Packets	sub-layer to a higher (sub-)layer, which were
	addressed to a broadcas address at this
	sub-layer.

Received Discarded	The number of inbound packets which were
Packets	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	The number of packets received via the interface
Packets	which were discarded because of an unknown
