Service Manual

Line Description
giants = packets that are greater than the MTU size
throttles = packets containing PAUSE frames
Number of CRC, overrun, and discarded packets:
CRC = packets with CRC/FCS errors
overrun = number of packets discarded due to FIFO overrun conditions
discarded = the sum of runts, giants, CRC, and overrun packets discarded
without any processing
Output Statistics: Displays output statistics sent out of the interface including:
Number of packets, bytes, and underruns out of the interface
Packet size and the number of those packets outbound to the interface
Number of Multicast, Broadcast, and Unicast packets:
Multicasts = number of MAC multicast packets
Broadcasts = number of MAC broadcast packets
Unicasts = number of MAC unicast packets
Number of VLANs, throttles, discards, and collisions::
Vlans = number of VLAN tagged packets
throttles = packets containing PAUSE frames
discarded = number of packets discarded without any processing
collisions = number of packet collisions
wred=count both packets discarded in the MAC and in the hardware-based
queues
Rate information... Estimate of the input and output traffic rate over a designated interval (30 to 299
seconds). Traffic rate is displayed in bits, packets per second, and percent of line rate.
Time since... Elapsed time since the last interface status change (hh:mm:ss format).
