Table 1-8 describes the fields in the show mibii command output.
Table 1-8 Field Descriptions for the show mibii Command
Field Description
MAC The interface address at the protocol layer immediately
below the network layer in the protocol stack. For interfaces
that do not have such an address (for example, a serial line),
this object contains an octet string of zero length.
Administrative The desired state of the interface (Enabled, Disabled, or
Testing). The testing state indicates no operational packets
can be passed.
MTU The size of the largest datagram that can be sent or received
on the interface, specified in octets. For interfaces that are
used for transmitting network datagrams, this is the size of
the largest network datagram that can be sent on the interface.
In Octets The total number of octets received on the interface,
including framing characters.
In Unicast The number of subnetwork-unicast packets delivered to a
higher-layer protocol.
In Multicast The number of non-unicast (for example,
subnetwork-broadcast or subnetwork-multicast) packets
delivered to a higher-layer protocol.
In Errors The number of inbound packets that contained errors
preventing them from being delivered to a higher-layer
protocol.
In Discards The number of inbound packets that 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.
In Unknown The number of packets received over the interface that were
discarded because of an unknown or unsupported protocol.
