Table 43 IF statistics
Statistics Description
ifOutNUcastPkts The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested to be transmitted, and
which were addressed to a multicast or broadcast address at this sublayer, including
those that were discarded or not sent.
This object is deprecated in favor of ifOutMulticastPkts and ifOutBroadcastPkts.
ifOutDiscards The number of outbound packets, which were chosen to be discarded even though no
errors had been detected to prevent their being transmitted. One possible reason for
discarding such a packet could be to free up buffer space.
ifOutErrors For packet-oriented interfaces, the number of outbound packets that could not be
transmitted because of errors.
For character-oriented or fixed-length interfaces, the number of outbound transmission
units that could not be transmitted because of errors.
ifStateChanges The number of times an interface has transitioned from either down to up or from up to
down.
IP statistics are described in the following table:
Table 44 IP Statistics
Statistic Description
ipInReceives The total number of input datagrams received from interfaces, including those received
in error.
ipOutRequests The total number of IP datagrams which local IP user protocols (including ICMP)
supplied to IP in requests for transmission. Note that this counter does not include any
datagrams counted in
ipForwDatagrams.
ipInDiscards The number of input IP datagrams for which no problems were encountered to prevent
their continued processing, but which were discarded (for example, for lack of buffer
space). Note that this counter does not include any datagrams discarded while awaiting
re-assembly.
ipOutDiscards The number of output IP datagrams for which no problem was encountered to prevent
their transmission to their destination, but which were discarded (for example, for lack
of buffer space). Note that this counter would include datagrams counted in
ipForwDatagrams if any such packets met this (discretionary) discard criterion.
ipInDelivers The total number of input datagrams successfully delivered to IP user protocols (including
ICMP).
ipInHdrErrors The number of input datagrams discarded due to errors in their IP headers, including
bad checksums, version number mismatch, other format errors, time-to-live exceeded,
errors discovered in processing their IP options, and so forth.
ipDefaultTTL The default value inserted into the Time-To-Live (TTL) field of the IP header of
datagrams originated at this entity (the switch), whenever a TTL value is not supplied by
the transport layer protocol.
ipInAddrErrors The number of input datagrams discarded because the IP address in their IP header’s
destination field was not a valid address to be received at this entity (the switch). This
count includes invalid addresses (for example, 0.0.0.0) and addresses of unsupported
Classes (for example, Class E). For entities which are not IP Gateways and therefore do
not forward datagrams, this counter includes datagrams discarded because the
destination address was not a local address.
ipInUnknownProtos The number of locally addressed datagrams received successfully but discarded
because of an unknown or unsupported protocol.
