DESCRIPTION

Port Info

 

 

 

Link

This field displays the speed (either 10M for 10Mbps, 100M for 100Mbps or 1000M for

 

1000Mbps) and the duplex (F for full duplex or H for half duplex). It also shows the

 

cable type (Copper or Fiber) for the combo ports.

 

 

Status

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

 

(see Section 10.1.3 on page 102 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.

TX

This field shows the number of good packets (unicast, multicast and broadcast)

Packets

transmitted.

 

 

Multicast

This field shows the number of good multicast packets transmitted.

 

 

Broadcast

This field shows the number of good broadcast packets transmitted.

 

 

Pause

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

 

 

Rx Packet

The following fields display detailed information about packets received.

RX

This field shows the number of good packets (unicast, multicast and broadcast)

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.

 

 

Control

This field shows the number of control packets received (including those with CRC

 

error) but it does not include the 802.3x Pause packets.

 

 

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.
