Line Description
● Number of Multicast, Broadcast, and Unicast packets:
○ Multicasts = number of MAC multicast packets
○ Broadcasts = number of MAC broadcast packets
○ Unicasts = number of MAC unicast packets
● Number of VLANs, throttles, discards, and collisions:
○ Vlans = number of VLAN tagged packets
○ throttles = packets containing PAUSE frames
○ discarded = number of packets discarded without any processing
○ collisions = number of packet collisions
○ wred=count both packets discarded in the MAC and in the hardware-based
queues
Rate
information...
Estimate of the input and output traffic rate over a designated interval (30 to 299
seconds). Traffic rate is displayed in bits, packets per second, and percent of line
rate.
Time since... Elapsed time since the last interface status change (hh:mm:ss format).

Usage
Information
The Management port is enabled by default (no shutdown). If necessary, use the ip address
command to assign an IP address to the Management port. If two RPMs are installed in your system, use
the show redundancy command to display which RPM is the Primary RPM.
