CONFIGURING THE SWITCH

Parameter

Description

 

 

Datagrams Failing

The number of datagrams that have been discarded because

Fragmentation

they needed to be fragmented at this entity but could not be,

 

e.g., because their “Don't Fragment” flag was set.

 

 

Received Header Errors

The number of input datagrams discarded due to errors in

 

their IP headers, including bad checksums, version number

 

mismatch, other format errors, time-to-live exceeded, errors

 

discovered in processing their IP options, etc.

 

 

Unknown Protocols

The number of locally-addressed datagrams received

Received

successfully but discarded because of an unknown or

 

unsupported protocol.

 

 

Received Packets

The total number of input datagrams successfully delivered to

Delivered

IP user-protocols (including ICMP).

 

 

Discarded Output Packets

The number of output IP datagrams for which no problem

 

was encountered to prevent their transmission to their

 

destination, but which were discarded (e.g., for lack of buffer

 

space).

 

 

Fragments Created

The number of datagram fragments that have been generated

 

as a result of fragmentation at this entity.

 

 

Routing Discards

The number of routing entries which were chosen to be

 

discarded even though they are valid. One possible reason for

 

discarding such an entry could be to free-up buffer space for

 

other routing entries.

 

 

Reassembly Successful

The number of datagrams successfully re-assembled.

 

 

Datagrams Successfully

The number of IP datagrams that have been successfully

Fragmented

fragmented at this entity.
