B.2.1 Explanation of card statistics
The following list provides descriptions of the card statistics that are output from the nwmgr
command:
Field Description
Driver Statistics
In Packet Error Number of inbound packets discarded because they were received
when the driver was not operational or the packet length was incorrect.
Out Packet Error Number of outbound packets discarded because the driver was not
operational or the driver had insufficient resources (memory) to transmit
the packet.
Loopback packets Number of packets looped back to the upper layers by the driver.
Link Down events Number of link down events, that is, cable disconnects processed by
the driver.
Host Command Statistics
nicCmdsDelMCastAddr Number of times the driver has issued a command to the NIC
to delete a multicast MAC address.
nicCmdsSetPromiscMode Number of times the NIC received a command to enable or
disable promiscuous mode.
nicCmdsSetMACAddr Number of times the NIC received a command to set the current
MAC address.
nicCmdsClearStats Number of times the NIC received a command to clear the card
statistics maintained by the card.
NIC Events Statistics
nicEventsFirmwareOperational The number of events the driver has received from the NIC
indicating that the firmware on the NIC is in the operational
state.
nicEventsStatsUpdated The number of times the NIC has updated the MIB interface
statistics.
nicEventsLinkStateChanged The number of events the driver has processed indicating
that the status of the link has changed.
nicEventsMCastListUpdated The number of times the NIC generated an event to report
the addition or deletion of a multicast MAC address.
