show interface ethernet
Local Traffic Frames The total number of frames dropped in the forwarding process 
because the destination address was located off of this port.
802.3x Pause Frames Received A count of MAC Control frames received on this interface with 
an opcode indicating the PAUSE operation. This counter does 
not increment when the interface is operating in half-duplex 
mode. 
Unacceptable Frame Type The number of frames discarded from this port due to being an 
unacceptable frame type. 
VLAN Membership Mismatch The number of frames discarded on this port due to ingress 
filtering. 
VLAN Viable Discards The number of frames discarded on this port when a lookup on 
a particular VLAN occurs while that entry in the VLAN table is 
being modified, or if the VLAN has not been configured. 
Multicast Tree Viable Discards  The number of frames discarded when a lookup in the 
multicast tree for a VLAN occurs while that tree is being 
modified.
Reserved Address Discards The number of frames discarded that are destined to an IEEE 
802.1 reserved address and are not supported by the system. 
Broadcast Storm Recovery  The number of frames discarded that are destined for 
FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF when Broadcast Storm Recovery is 
enabled
CFI Discards The number of frames discarded that have CFI bit set and the 
addresses in RIF are in non-canonical format. 
Upstream Threshold The number of frames discarded due to lack of cell descriptors 
available for that packet's priority level. 
Packets Transmitted Octets
Total Bytes The total number of octets of data (including those in bad 
packets) received on the network (excluding framing bits but 
including FCS octets). This object can be used as a 
reasonable estimate of ethernet utilization. If greater precision 
is desired, the etherStatsPkts and etherStatsOctets objects 
should be sampled before and after a common interval. 
Packets Transmitted 64 Octets The total number of packets (including bad packets) received 
that were 64 octets in length (excluding framing bits but 
including FCS octets)
Packets Transmitted 65-127 Octets The total number of packets (including bad packets) received 
that were between 65 and 127 octets in length inclusive 
(excluding framing bits but including FCS octets). 
Packets Transmitted 128-255 Octets The total number of packets (including bad packets) received 
that were between 128 and 255 octets in length inclusive 
(excluding framing bits but including FCS octets)
Packets Transmitted 256-511 Octets The total number of packets (including bad packets) received 
that were between 256 and 511 octets in length inclusive 
(excluding framing bits but including FCS octets)
Packets Transmitted 512-1023 Octets The total number of packets (including bad packets) received 
that were between 512 and 1023 octets in length inclusive 
(excluding framing bits but including FCS octets)
