inunknownprotos Count
This field displays how many inbound packets were discarded because of an unknown or
unsupported protocol.
outoctets Count
This field displays how many octets were transmitted out of the interface, including those
that deliver framing information.
outucastpkts Count
This field displays how many packets for which the higher-level protocols requested
transmission to a subnetwork-unicast address. The number includes those that were
discarded or not sent.
outnucastpkts Count
This field displays how many packets for which the higher-level protocols requested
transmission to a non-unicast (subnetwork-broadcast or subnetwork-multicast) address.
The number includes those that were discarded or not sent.
outdiscards Count
This field displays how many outbound packets were discarded without errors that would
have prevented their transmission. (Some of these packets may have been discarded to
increase buffer space.)
outerrrors Count
This field displays how many outbound packets contained errors that prevented their
transmission.
RxBabErr
This field displays how many receiver babble errors occurred.
EthBusErr
This field displays how many Ethernet bus errors occurred on the Ethernet controller.
CRCError
This field displays how many CRC errors occurred on the Ethernet controller.
RxOverrun
This field displays how many receiver overrun errors occurred on the Ethernet controller.
Late Collision
This field displays how many late collisions occurred on the Ethernet controller. A normal
collision occurs during the first 512 bits of the frame transmission. A collision that occurs
after the first 512 bits is considered a late collision.
IMPORTANT!
A late collision is a serious network problem because the frame being transmitted
is discarded. A late collision is most commonly caused by a mismatch between
duplex configurations at the ends of a link segment.
