Parameter Description
Description This parameter provides a description about the bridge.
MTU Represents the largest size of the data packet sent on the bridge.
MAC Address Represents the MAC address at the bridge protocol layer.
Operational Status Represents the current operational status of the bridge: UP (ready to pass packets) or
DOWN (not ready to pass packets).
In Octets Represents the total number of octets received on the bridge interface, including the
framing characters.
In Unicast Packets Represents the number of unicast subnetwork packets delivered to the higher level
protocol.
In Non-unicast Packets Represents the number of non-unicast subnetwork packets delivered to the higher level
protocol.
In Errors Represents the number of inbound packets with errors and that are restricted from being
delivered.
Out Octets Represents the total number of octets transmitted out of the bridge, including the framing
characters.
Out Packets Represents the total number of packets requested by higher-level protocols to be
transmitted out of the bridge interface to a sub-network address, including those that
were discarded or not sent.
Out Discards Represents the number of error-free outbound packets which are discarded to prevent
them from being transmitted. One possible reason for discarding such a packet could be to
free up buffer space.
