SMC Networks SMC6709L2 manual Showing Port Statistics

CONFIGURING THE SWITCH

Showing Port Statistics

You can display standard statistics on network traffic from the Interfaces Group MIB, Ethernet-like MIB, and RMOM MIB. These statistics display errors on the traffic passing through each port. This information can be used to identify potential problems with the switch (such as a faulty port or unusually heavy loading). All values displayed have been accumulated since the last system reboot, and are shown as counts per second. Statistics are refreshed every 5 seconds.

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

Field Attributes

•State – Shows whether or not the port is operational.

•Link – Indicates if the link is Up or Down.

•TxGoodPkt – The total number of packets transmitted out of the interface, including framing characters.

•TxBadPkt – The number of outbound packets that could not be transmitted because of errors.

•RxGoodPkt – The total number of packets received on the interface, including framing characters.

•RxBadPkt – The number of inbound packets that contained errors preventing them from being delivered to a higher-layer protocol.

•TxAbort – The number of outbound packets which 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.

•Collision – The best estimate of the total number of collisions on this Ethernet segment.

•DropPkt – The total number of events in which packets were dropped due to lack of resources.
