Port--Interface tab fields  

The following table describes the fields on the Port--Interface tab.   


Field Description
Bytes In
The number of bytes received on the interface, including framing characters.
Bytes Out
The number of bytes transmitted out of the interface, including framing characters.
Unicast Packets In
The number of packets, delivered by this sublayer to a higher layer that were not addressed to a multicast or a broadcast address at this sublayer.
Unicast Packets Out
The number of packets that higher-level protocols requested to transmit that were not addressed to a multicast or broadcast address at this sublayer. The count includes the packets that were discarded or not delivered.
Multicasts In
The number of packets, delivered by this sublayer to a higher layer that were addressed to a multicast address at this sublayer. For a MAC layer protocol, this includes Group and Functional addresses.
Multicasts Out
The number of packets that higher-level protocols requested to transmit that were addressed to a multicast address at this sublayer. The count includes the packets that were discarded or not sent. For a MAC layer protocol, this includes Group and Functional addresses.
Broadcast In
The number of packets, delivered by this sublayer to a higher layer, that were addressed to a broadcast address at this sublayer.
Broadcast Out
The number of packets that higher-level protocols requested to transmit, that were addressed to a broadcast address at this sublayer. The count includes the packets that were discarded or not delivered. Discarded Packets The number of inbound packets that were discarded, although no errors had been detected to prevent their delivery to a higher-layer protocol. This can occur to free up buffer space.
Inbound Discards
The number of discarded inbound packets.
Outbound Discards
The number of discarded outbound packets. No errors were detected that would prevent their transmission. This can occur to free up buffer space.
Error Packets
For packet-oriented interfaces, the number of inbound packets with errors that prevented their delivery to a higher-layer protocol. For character-oriented or fixed-length interfaces, the number of inbound transmission units with errors that prevented their delivery to a higher-layer protocol.
Not Sent Due to Error
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.
Unknown Protocol Packets
For packet-oriented interfaces, the number of packets received via the interface that were discarded because of an unknown or unsupported protocol. For character-oriented or fixed-length interfaces that support protocol multiplexing, the number of transmission units received via the interface that were discarded because of an unknown or unsupported protocol. If the interface does not support protocol multiplexing, Unknown Protocol Packets will be 0 (zero).
Outbound Packet Queue Length
The number of packets in the output queue.
