Card Statisticslanadmin DisplayAppendix D98Last Change The value of SysUpTime at the time the interfaceentered its current operational state. If the currentstate was entered prior to the last reinitialization ofthe local network management subsystem, then thisobject contains a 0 value.Inbound Octets The total number of octets received on the interface,including framing characters.Inbound Unicast Packets The number of subnetwork-unicast packets deliveredto a high-layer protocol.Inbound Non-Unicast Packets The number of non-unicast (subnetwork-broadcast orsubnetwork-multicast) packets delivered to ahigher-layer protocol.Inbound Discards The number of inbound packets that were discardedeven though no errors had been detected, preventingthem from being delivered to a higher-layer protocol.One possible reason for discarding such a packetcould be out of receive buffers.Inbound Errors The number of inbound packets that containederrors, preventing them from being deliverable to ahigher-layer protocol.Inbound Unknown Protocols The number of packets received through the interfacethat were discarded because of an unknown orunsupported protocol.Outbound Octets The total number of octets transmitted out of theinterface, including framing characters.Outbound Unicast Packets The total number of packets that higher-levelprotocols requested be transmitted to asubnetwork-unicast address, including those thatwere discarded or not sent.Outbound Non-Unicast Packets The total number of packets that higher-levelprotocols requested be transmitted to a non-unicast(a subnetwork-broadcast or subnetwork-multicast)address, including those that were discarded or notsent.Outbound Discards The number of outbound packets that were discardedeven though no errors had been detected to preventthem from being transmitted. One possible reason fordiscarding such a packet could be out of transmitbuffers.Outbound Errors The number of outbound packets that could not betransmitted because of errors.Outbound Queue Length The length of the output packet queue (in packets).testing(3) In test modeTable 14 Operation Status (ifOper): Valid Values (Continued)
