Line Description
ARP type:... Displays the ARP type and the ARP timeout value for the interface.
Last clearing... Displays the time when the show interfaces counters where cleared.
Queuing strategy... States the packet queuing strategy. FIFO means rst in rst out.
Input Statistics: Displays all the input statistics including:
• Number of packets and bytes into the interface
• Number of packets with IP headers and VLAN tagged headers.
NOTE: The sum of the number of packets may not be as expected
since a VLAN tagged IP packet counts as both a VLAN packet and an
IP packet.
• Packet size and the number of those packets inbound to the interface
• Number of symbol errors, runts, giants, and throttles packets:
• symbol errors = number packets containing bad data. That is, the port MAC
detected a physical coding error in the packet.
• runts = number of packets that are less than 64B
• giants = packets that are greater than the MTU size
• throttles = packets containing PAUSE frames
• Number of CRC, IP Checksum, overrun, and discarded packets:
• CRC = packets with CRC/FCS errors
• IP Checksum = packets with IP Checksum errors
• overrun = number of packets discarded due to FIFO overrun conditions
• discarded = the sum of runts, giants, CRC, IP Checksum, and overrun packets
discarded without any processing
Output Statistics: Displays output statistics sent out of the interface including:
• Number of packets, bytes, and underruns out of the interface
• packets = total number of packets
• bytes = total number of bytes
• underruns = number of packets with FIFO underrun conditions
• 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 throttles and discards packets::
• throttles = packets containing PAUSE frames
• discarded = number of packets discarded without any processing
Rate information... Estimate of the input and output trac rate over a designated interval (30 to 299
seconds). Trac 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 interface counter “over 1023-byte pkts” does not increment for packets in the range 9216 > x <1023.
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.
