To graph interface statistics:
| The graphPort dialog box opens with the Interface tab displayed. |
Note:
Some statistics are available only when graphing a single port.
The table below describes the Interface tab fields.
InOctets
The total number of octets received on the interface, including framing characters.
OutOctets
The total number of octets transmitted out of the interface, including framing characters.
InUcastPkts
The number of packets delivered by this sublayer to a higher sublayer that were not addressed to a multicast or broadcast address at this sublayer.
OutUcastPkts
The number of packets that higher-level protocols requested be transmitted that were not addressed to a multicast address at this sublayer.This total number includes those packets discarded or unsent.
InMulticastPkts
The number of packets delivered by this sublayer to a higher sublayer that were addressed to a multicast address at this sublayer. For a MAC layer protocol, this number includes both Group and Functional addresses.
OutMulticastPkts
The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested be transmitted, and that were addressed to a multicast address at this sublayer, including those that were discarded or not sent. For a MAC layer protocol, this number includes both Group and Functional addresses.
InBroadcastPkts
The number of packets delivered by this sublayer to a higher sublayer that were addressed to a broadcast address at this sublayer.
OutBroadcastPkts
The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested be transmitted, and that were addressed to a broadcast address at this sublayer, including those that were discarded or not sent.
InDiscards
The number of inbound packets that were discarded due to frames with errors or invalid frames, or in some cases, to fill up buffer space.
InErrors
For packet-oriented interfaces, the number of inbound packets that contained errors preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol. For character-oriented or fixed-length interfaces, the number of inbound transmission units that contained errors preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol.
InUnknownProtos
The number of inbound packets with unsupported protocols.
InFlowCtrlPkts
The total number of inbound flow control packets received by this interface.
OutFlowCtrlPkts
The total number of outbound flow control packets received by this interface.
NumStateTransition
The total number of state transitions.
