Chapter 7 System Status and Port Statistics

Table 8 Status: Port Details (continued)

LABEL

DESCRIPTION

Status

If STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) is enabled, this field displays the STP state of the port (see

 

Section 13.1 on page 122 for more information).

 

If STP is disabled, this field displays FORWARDING if the link is up, otherwise, it displays

 

STOP.

 

 

LACP

This field shows if LACP is enabled on this port or not.

 

 

TxPkts

This field shows the number of transmitted frames on this port

 

 

RxPkts

This field shows the number of received frames on this port

 

 

Errors

This field shows the number of received errors on this port.

 

 

Tx KB/s

This field shows the number kilobytes per second transmitted on this port.

 

 

Rx KB/s

This field shows the number of kilobytes per second received on this port.

 

 

Up Time

This field shows the total amount of time the connection has been up.

 

 

Tx Packet

 

The following fields display detailed information about packets transmitted.

 

 

UnicastThis field shows the number of good unicast packets transmitted.

 

 

Multicast

This field shows the number of good multicast packets transmitted.

 

 

BroadcastThis field shows the number of good broadcast packets transmitted.

 

 

PauseThis field shows the number of 802.3x Pause packets transmitted.

 

 

Rx Packet

 

The following fields display detailed information about packets received.

 

 

Unicast

This field shows the number of good unicast packets received.

 

 

Multicast

This field shows the number of good multicast packets received.

 

 

Broadcast

This field shows the number of good broadcast packets received.

 

 

Pause

This field shows the number of 802.3x Pause packets received.

 

 

TX Collision

 

The following fields display information on collisions while transmitting.

 

 

Single

This is a count of successfully transmitted packets for which transmission is inhibited by

 

exactly one collision.

 

 

Multiple

This is a count of successfully transmitted packets for which transmission was inhibited by

 

more than one collision.

 

 

Excessive

This is a count of packets for which transmission failed due to excessive collisions. Excessive

 

collision is defined as the number of maximum collisions before the retransmission count is

 

reset.

 

 

Late

This is the number of times a late collision is detected, that is, after 512 bits of the packets

 

have already been transmitted.

 

 

Error Packet

The following fields display detailed information about packets received that were in error.

 

 

RX CRC

This field shows the number of packets received with CRC (Cyclic Redundant Check) error(s).

 

 

Length

This field shows the number of packets received with a length that was out of range.

 

 

Runt

This field shows the number of packets received that were too short (shorter than 64 octets),

 

including the ones with CRC errors.

 

 

Distribution

 

 

 

64

This field shows the number of packets (including bad packets) received that were 64 octets

 

in length.

 

 

65-127

This field shows the number of packets (including bad packets) received that were between

 

65 and 127 octets in length.
