Interface tab fields


Fields Description
InOctets
Number of octets received on the interface, including framing characters.
OutOctets
Number of octets transmitted out of the interface, including framing characters.
InUcastPkts
Number of packets delivered by this sub-layer to a higher sub-layer that were not addressed to a multicast or broadcast address at this sub-layer.
OutUcastPkts
Number of packets that higher-level protocols requested be transmitted that were not addressed to a multicast address at this sub-layer. This number includes those packets discarded or unsent.
InNUcastPkts
Number of packets delivered by this sub-layer to a higher sub-layer, which were addressed to a broadcast address at this sub-layer.
OutNUcastPkts
Number of packets that higher-level protocols requested be transmitted, and were addressed to a multicast or broadcast address at this sub-layer, including those that were discarded or not sent.
InDiscards
Number of inbound packets that were chosen to be discarded even though no errors had been detected to prevent their being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol. One possible reason for discarding such a packet could be to free up buffer space.
OutDiscards
Number of outbound packets which 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.
InErrors
For packet-oriented interfaces: Number of inbound packets that contained errors preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol. For character-oriented interfaces, the number of inbound transmission units that contained errors preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol.
OutErrors
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.
