The show interface ethernet display fields, when the argument is unit/slot/port, are as
follows:
Table 8 Fields in Output of show interface ethernet unit/slot/port Command
Field Description
Packets Received
Type Indicates current type of use of the port, such as “PC Mbr” to
indicate port channel member, “Mirror” to indicate source port
for port-mirroring, “Probe” to indicate destination port for
mirroring, and, most commonly, “Normal”.
Admin Mode Whether the port is administratively enabled or disabled
Physical Mode Whether the port is physically up or down
Physical Status Whether the port is physically connected or disconnected
Speed The port speed setting
Link Status Whether the link is up or down.
MAC Address MAC address of the port
Total Packets Received (Octets) The total number of octets of data received by the processor
(excluding framing bits but including FCS octets).
Octets Received The total number of octets of data (including those in bad
packets) received on the network (excluding framing bits but
including Frame Check Sequence (FCS) octets). This object
can be used as a reasonable estimate of ethernet utilization. If
greater precision is desired, the etherStatsPkts and
etherStatsOctets objects should be sampled before and after a
common interval. ----- The result of this equation is the value
Utilization which is the percent utilization of the ethernet
segment on a scale of 0 to 100 percent.
Packets Received < 64 Octets The total number of packets (including bad packets) received
that were < 64 octets in length (excluding framing bits but
including FCS octets).
Packets Received 64 Octets The total number of packets (including bad packets) received
that were 64 octets in length (excluding framing bits but
including FCS octets).
Packets Received 65-127 Octets The total number of packets (including bad packets) received
that were between 65 and 127 octets in length inclusive
(excluding framing bits but including FCS octets).
Packets Received 128-255 Octets The total number of packets (including bad packets) received
that were between 128 and 255 octets in length inclusive
(excluding framing bits but including FCS octets).
Packets Received 256-511 Octets The total number of packets (including bad packets) received
that were between 256 and 511 octets in length inclusive
(excluding framing bits but including FCS octets).
Packets Received 512-1023 Octets The total number of packets (including bad packets) received
that were between 512 and 1023 octets in length inclusive
(excluding framing bits but including FCS octets).
Packets Received 1024-1518 Octets The total number of packets (including bad packets) received
that were between 1024 and 1518 octets in length inclusive
(excluding framing bits but including FCS octets).
