Port Status  Description 
Speed 
Speed and duplex (where applicable) of the uplink port 
Link Status 
Shows the link status, link speed, and connectivity of the port. If the port is 
unlinked and no connectivity exists, the cause is displayed. For more 
information about possible causes, see "Port status conditions (on page 
203)." 
Trunking Mode 
Trunking mode of the port, for example AUTO 
CFG Speed 
Configured speed of the port, for example AUTO 
DCBX Information  Description 
Overall Status 
The overall status of DCBX protocol exchange with peer entity. The status 
value “Ok” indicates that no error is detected in DCBX operation, for 
example the protocol exchange is successfully completed or the port is not 
enabled for DCBX. The status value “Failed” indicates an error in one of 
the DCBX feature information exchanges. The specific error reason 
displays in the individual feature state field below. 
Pending Status 
Indicates the status of applying local DCBX configuration changes. The 
value “False” indicates that there is no pending DCBX exchange. The 
value “True” indicates that the DCBX exchange is not completed. 
AP State

Port Statistic  Description 
reset_time 
Port reset time 
IfInOctets 
The total number of octets received on the interface, including framing 
characters. 
IfInUcastPkts 
The number of subnetwork-unicast packets delivered to a higher-layer 
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 is 
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.
