Table 5-7. Fields in Output of show interface ethernet switchport Command
Field Description
Total Packets Received (Octets) The total number of octets of data received by the processor
(excluding framing bits but including FCS octets).
Unicast Packets Received The number of subnetwork-unicast packets delivered to a
higher-layer protocol
Multicast Packets Received The total number of packets received that were directed to a
multicast address. Note that this number does not include packets
directed to the broadcast address.
Broadcast Packets Received The total number of packets received that were directed to the
broadcast address. Note that this does not include multicast
packets.
Receive Packets Discarded The number of inbound packets which were chosen to be
discarded even though no errors had been detected to prevent their
being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol. A possible reason for
discarding a packet could be to free up buffer space.
Octets Transmitted The total number of octets transmitted out of the interface,
including framing characters
Packets Transmitted without Errors The total number of packets transmitted out of the interface
Unicast Packets Transmitted 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
Multicast Packets Transmitted The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested
be transmitted to a Multicast address, including those that were
discarded or not sent
Broadcast Packets Transmitted The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested
be transmitted to the Broadcast address, including those that were
discarded or not sent
