Operation Status (ifOper) Operation Status reports the status of the card if ifAdmin
has been set to up(1). If ifAdmin is set to down(2), then
ifOper will also be down(2).

Last Change The value of SysUpTime at the time the interface entered its
current operational state. If the current state was entered
prior to the last reinitialization of the local network
management subsystem, then this object 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 delivered to a
high-layer protocol.
Inbound Discards The number of inbound packets that were discarded even
though no errors had been detected, preventing them from
being delivered to a higher-layer protocol. One possible
reason for discarding such a packet could be out of receive
buffers.
Inbound Errors The number of inbound packets that contained errors,
preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer
protocol.
Inbound Unknown Protocols The number of packets received through the interface that
were discarded because of an unknown or unsupported
protocol.
Outbound Octets The total number of octets transmitted out of the interface,
including framing characters.
Outbound Unicast Packets The total number of packets that higher-level protocols
requested be transmitted to a subnetwork-unicast address,
including those that were discarded or not sent.
Outbound Discards The number of outbound packets that were discarded even
though no errors had been detected to prevent them from
being transmitted. One possible reason for discarding such
a packet could be out of transmit buffers.
Outbound Errors The number of outbound packets that could not be
transmitted because of errors.
B.1.2 RFC 1284 Ethernet-like interface statistics
The following list provides descriptions of the Ethernet-like statistics fields in the nwmgr(1m) command
display:
Field Description
Index A value that uniquely identifies an interface to an 802.3
medium.
Alignment Errors A count of frames received on a particular interface that are
not an integral number of octets in length and do not pass
the FCS check.
FCS Errors A count of frames received on a particular interface that are
an integral number of octets in length and do not pass the
FCS check.
