Reference Guide

– 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 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. If your
system has more than one stack-unit, use the show redundancy command to
display which stack-unit is the primary unit.
