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
The status of Application Protocol feature exchange
PFC State
The status of Priority Flow Control feature exchange
PG State
The status of Priority Group feature exchange
*This information is only available for physical uplink and downlink ports. It is not available for Flex-10 subports.
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
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 is 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
