Table 49 Interface statistics for port
Statistics Description
MulticastPkts—IfHCOut The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested to be transmitted, and
which were addressed to a multicast address at this sublayer, including those that were
discarded or not sent.
For a MAC layer protocol, this includes both group and functional addresses. This
object is a 64-bit version of ifOutMulticastPkts.
Discards—IfHCOut 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.
Errors—IfHCOut For packet-oriented interfaces, the number of outbound packets that could not be
transmitted because of errors.
For character-oriented or fixed-length interfaces, the number of outbound transmission
units that could not be transmitted because of errors.
Internet Protocol (IP) statistics
Command: /stats/port <port number>/ip
GEA IP statistics for port 1:
ipInReceives : 0
ipInHeaderError: 0
ipInDiscards : 0
The following table describes the Internet Protocol (IP) statistics for a selected port:
Table 50 IP statistics for port
Statistics Description
ipInReceives
The total number of input datagrams received from interfaces, including those received in
error.
ipInHeaderError The number of input datagrams discarded because the IP address in their IP header's
destination field was not a valid address to be received at this entity (the switch).
ipInDiscards The number of input IP datagrams for which no problems were encountered to prevent their
continued processing, but which were discarded (for example, for lack of buffer space). Note
that this counter does not include any datagrams discarded while awaiting re-assembly.
Link statistics
Command: /stats/port <port number>/link
Link statistics for port 1:
linkStateChange: 2
The following table describes the link statistics for a selected port:
Table 51 Link statistics for port
Statistic Description
linkStateChange The total number of link state changes.
