Port statistics are described in the following table:
Table 53 Port Statistics
Control Description
Clear Port x Statistics Select Clear and click Submit to clear statistics for this port.
Operational Status Enables or disables the port.
RMON Operational Status Enables or disables RMON for the port.
Clear Port x Meter Statistics Select Clear and click Submit to clear meter statistics for this port.
The next several tables contain specific information about bridging, interface (input and output), and Ethernet
statistics.
Bridging (“dot1”) Statistics
The following table describes the bridging statistics of the selected port:
Table 54 Bridging statistics of a port
Statistic Description
InFrames The number of frames that have been received by this port from its segment. A frame received
on the interface corresponding to this port is only counted by this object if and only if it is for
a protocol being processed by the local bridging function, including bridge management
frames.
OutFrames The number of frames that have been transmitted by this port to its segment. Note that a frame
transmitted on the interface corresponding to this port is only counted by this object if and
only if it is for a protocol being processed by the local bridging function, including bridge
management frames.
InDiscards Count of valid frames received that were discarded (that is, filtered) by the Forwarding
Process.
EntryDiscards The total number of Forwarding Database entries, which have been or would have been
learnt, but have been discarded due to a lack of space to store them in the Forwarding
Database. If this counter is increasing, it indicates that the Forwarding Database is regularly
becoming full (a condition which has unpleasant performance effects on the sub network). If
this counter has a significant value but is not presently increasing, it indicates that the problem
has been occurring but is not persistent.
DelayExceed The number of frames discarded by this port due to excessive transit delay through the bridge.
It is incriminated by both transparent and source route bridges.
MtuExceed The number of frames discarded by this port due to an excessive size. It is incremented by
both transparent and source route bridges.
PortForward Transitions The number of times this port has transitioned from the Learning state to the Forwarding state.
Link-State Change The number of times an interface has transitioned from either down to up or from up to down.
Interface (“if”) Statistics - Input
The following table describes the interface input statistics of the selected port:
Table 55 Interface Statistics for a Port - Input
Statistic Description
HC Octets The total number of octets received on the interface, including framing characters.
HC UCastPkts The number of packets, delivered by this sub layer to a higher sub layer, which were not
addressed to a multicast or broadcast address at this sub layer.
HC BcastPkts The number of packets, delivered by this sub layer to a higher sub layer, which were addressed
to a broadcast address at this sub layer.
