problems with the switch (such as a faulty port or unusually heavy loading). RMON statistics provide access
to a broad range of statistics, including a total count of different frame types and sizes passing through each
port. All values displayed have been accumulated since the last system reboot, and are shown as counts
per second. Statistics are refreshed every 60 seconds by default.
Note: RMON groups 2, 3 and 9 can only be accessed using SNMP management software such as HP
OpenView.
The following table lists the statistical values from the show port display.
Parameter Description
Interface Statistics
Received Octets The total number of octets received on the interface, including framing
characters.
Received Unicast
Packets
The number of subnetwork-unicast packets delivered to a higher-layer protocol.
Received Multicast
Packets
The number of packets, delivered by this sub-layer to a higher (sub-)layer, which
were addressed to a multicast address at this sub-layer.
Received Broadcast
Packets
The number of packets, delivered by this sub-layer to a higher (sub-)layer, which
were addressed to a broadcast address at this sub-layer.
Received Discarded
Packets
The 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.
Received Unknown

of an unknown or unsupported protocol.
Received Errors The number of inbound packets that contained errors preventing them from
being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol.
Transmit Octets The total number of octets transmitted out of the interface, including framing
characters.
Transmit Unicast
Packets
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.
Transmit Multicast
Packets
The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested be transmitted,
and which were addressed to a multicast address at this sub-layer, including
those that were discarded or not sent.
Transmit Broadcast
Packets
The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested be transmitted,
and which were addressed to a broadcast address at this sub-layer, including
those that were discarded or not sent.
Transmit Discarded
Packets
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.
Transmit Errors The number of outbound packets that could not be transmitted because of
