ifHCOut Counters

Discards

The 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.

ifHCOut Counters

Errors

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.

Note: If you see errors indicted by this counter, check the port’s ethernet-

counters to determine the cause of the errors.
