Table 3-7 Interface Statistics for Port
Statistics Description
ifHCIn Counters
Octets
The total number of octets received on the interface, including framing
characters.
ifHCIn Counters
UcastPkts
The number of packets, delivered by this sub-layer to a higher sub- layer,
which were not addressed to a multicast or broadcast address at this sub-
layer.
ifHCIn Counters
BroadcastPkts
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.
ifHCIn Counters
MulticastPkts
The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested to be
transmitted, and which were addressed to a multicast address at this sub-
layer, including those that were discarded or not sent. For a MAC layer
protocol, this includes both Group and Functional addresses.
Note: If you see errors indicted by this counter, check the port’s ethernet-
counters to determine the cause of the errors.
ifHCIn Counters
Discards
The number of inbound packets which were chosen to be discarded even
though no errors had been detected to prevent their being delivered to a
higher-layer protocol. One possible reason for discarding such a packet
could be to free up buffer space.
ifHCIn Counters
Errors
For packet-oriented interfaces, the number of inbound packets that con-
tained errors preventing them from being delivered to a higher-layer pro-
tocol. 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.
ifHCOut Counters
Octets
The total number of octets transmitted out of the interface, including
framing characters.
ifHCOut Counters
UcastPkts
The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested to be
transmitted, and which were not addressed to a multicast or broadcast
address at this sub-layer, including those that were discarded or not sent.
ifHCOut Counters
BroadcastPkts
The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested to be
transmitted, and which were addressed to a broadcast address at this sub-
layer, including those that were discarded or not sent. This object is a 64-
bit version of ifOutBroadcastPkts.
ifHCOut Counters
MulticastPkts
The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested to be
transmitted, and which were addressed to a multicast address at this sub-
layer, including those that were discarded or not sent. For a MAC layer
protocol, this includes both Group and Functional addresses. This object
is a 64-bit version of ifOutMulticastPkts.
