Note
Both the LUID and the MAC are hot links to open the interface
to the SM/BHS. In some instances, depending on network
activity and network design, this route to the interface yields a
blank web page. If this occurs, refresh your browser view.
Channel Priority This field displays the channel priority for the virtual channel. The values
supported are Low, Medium, High, and Ultra High.
Inbound Statistics,
octets
This field displays how many octets were received on the interface, including
those that deliver framing information.
Inbound Statistics,
ucastpkts
This field displays how many inbound subnetwork-unicast packets were
delivered to a higher-layer protocol.
Inbound Statistics,
nucastpkts
This field displays how many inbound non-unicast (subnetwork-broadcast or
subnetwork-multicast) packets were delivered to a higher-layer protocol.
Inbound Statistics,
discards
This field displays how many inbound packets were discarded without errors
that would have prevented their delivery to a higher-layer protocol. Inbound
discard statistics are incremented similar to the indiscards stat on the RF
control block stats page. The sum of all data VC indiscards must be close to
the RF control block in discards. If indiscards are evenly distributed across
SMs, then the radio is PPS limited due to either excessive small packet
transmissions, or a problem at the Ethernet link. If indiscards are contained
to one or a few SMs, then there is likely a problem at or underneath the SM
which is incrementing the count.
Outbound Statistics,
octets
This field displays how many octets were transmitted out of the interface,
including those that deliver framing information.
Outbound Statistics,
ucastpkts
This field displays how many packets for which the higher-level protocols
requested transmission to a subnetwork-unicast address. The number
includes those that were discarded or not sent.
Outbound Statistics,
nucastpkts
This field displays how many packets for which the higher-level protocols
requested transmission to a non-unicast (subnetwork-broadcast or
subnetwork-multicast) address. The number includes those that were
discarded or not sent.
Outbound Statistics,
discards
This field displays how many outbound packets were discarded without
errors that would have prevented their transmission. Outbound discard
statistics are incremented if a VC is not active when a packet is ready to
send. This is a rare condition.
Outbound Statistics,
errors
This field displays how many outbound packets contained errors that
prevented their transmission.
