Port Statistic  Description 
protocol. 
IfInNUcastPkts  The number of non-unicast (subnetwork-broadcast or subnetwork-
multicast) packets delivered to a higher-layer protocol. 
IfInDiscards  The number of inbound packets that were chosen to be discarded even 
though no errors had been detected to prevent their being delivered to 
a higher-layer protocol. One possible reason for discarding such a 
packet could be to free up buffer space. 
IfInErrors  The number of inbound packets that contained errors preventing them 
from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol. 
IfInUnknownProtos  The number of packets received via the interface that were discarded 
because of an unknown or unsupported protocol. 
IfOutOctets  The total number of octets transmitted out of the interface, including 
framing characters. 
IfOutUcastPkts  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. 
IfOutNUcastPkts  The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested be 
transmitted to a non-unicast (subnetwork-broadcast or subnetwork-
multicast) address, including those that were discarded or not sent. 
IfOutDiscards  The number of outbound packets that 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  The number of outbound packets that could not be transmitted because 
of errors. 
IfOutQLen  The length of the output packet queue (in packets). 
IpInReceives  The total number of input datagrams received from interfaces, 
including those received in error. 
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. 
IpForwDatagrams  The number of input datagrams for which this entity was not their final 
IP destination. As a result, an attempt was made to find a route to 
forward them to that final destination. In entities that do not act as IP 
Gateways, this counter includes only those packets that were Source-
Routed via this entity, and the ones for which Source-Route option 
processing was successful. 
IpInDiscards  The number of input IP datagrams for which no problems were 
encountered to prevent their continued processing, but which were 
discarded (possibly for lack of buffer space). This counter does not 
include any datagrams discarded while awaiting re-assembly. 
Dot1dBasePortDelayExceededDisc
ards 
The number of frames discarded by this port due to excessive transit 
delay through the bridge. It is incremented by both transparent and 
source route bridges. 
Dot1dBasePortMtuExceededDiscar
ds 
The number of frames discarded by this port due to an excessive size. 
It is incremented by both transparent and source route bridges.
