Packets Transmitted
Successfully
Total – The number of frames that have been transmitted by this
port to its segment.
Unicast Packets Transmitted – The total number of packets that
higher-level protocols requested be transmitted to a
subnetwork-unicast address, including those that were
discarded or not sent.
Multicast Packets Transmitted – The total number of packets
that higher-level protocols requested be transmitted to a
Multicast address, including those that were discarded or not
sent.
Broadcast Packets Transmitted – The total number of packets
that higher-level protocols requested be transmitted to the
Broadcast address, including those that were discarded or not
sent.
Transmit Errors Total Errors – The sum of Single, Multiple, and Excessive Collisions.
Tx FCS Errors – The total number of packets transmitted that had
a length (excluding framing bits, but including FCS octets) of
between 64 and 1518 octets, inclusive, but had a bad Frame
Check Sequence (FCS) with an integral number of octets
Oversized – The total number of frames that exceeded the max
permitted frame size. This counter has a max increment rate of
815 counts per sec. at 10 Mb/s.
Underrun Errors – The total number of frames discarded because
the transmit FIFO buffer became empty during frame
transmission.
Transmit Discards Total Discards – The sum of single collision frames discarded,
multiple collision frames discarded, and excessive frames
discarded.
Single Collision Frames – A count of the number of successfully
transmitted frames on a particular interface for which
transmission is inhibited by exactly one collision.
Multiple Collision Frames – A count of the number of successfully
transmitted frames on a particular interface for which
transmission is inhibited by more than one collision.
Excessive Collisions – A count of frames for which transmission
on a particular interface fails due to excessive collisions.
Port Membership – The number of frames discarded on egress
for this port due to egress filtering being enabled.
VLAN Viable Discards – The number of frames discarded on this
port when a lookup on a particular VLAN occurs while that entry
in the VLAN table is being modified, or if the VLAN has not been
configured.
