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.
Transmit Packets
Discarded
The number of outbound 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.
Total Transmit Errors The sum of Single, Multiple, and Excessive Collisions.
Total Transmit Packets
Discarded
The sum of single collision frames discarded, multiple collision frames
discarded, and excessive frames discarded.
Single Collision Frames A count of the number of successfully transmitted frames on a particular
interface for which transmission is inhibited by exactly one collision.
Multiple Collision Frames A count of the number of successfully transmitted frames on a particular
interface for which transmission is inhibited by more than one collision.
Excessive Collision Frames A count of frames for which transmission on a particular interface fails
due to excessive collisions.
Dropped Transmit Frames Number of transmit frames discarded at the selected port.
STP BPDUs Received Number of STP BPDUs received at the selected port.
STP BPDUs Transmitted Number of STP BPDUs transmitted from the selected port.
RSTP BPDUs Received Number of RSTP BPDUs received at the selected port.
RSTP BPDUs Transmitted Number of RSTP BPDUs transmitted from the selected port.
MSTP BPDUs Received Number of MSTP BPDUs received at the selected port.
MSTP BPDUs Transmitted Number of MSTP BPDUs transmitted from the selected port.
802.3x Pause Frames
Transmitted
A count of MAC Control frames transmitted on this interface with an
opcode indicating the PAUSE operation. This counter does not increment
when the interface is operating in half-duplex mode.
EAPOL Frames Received The number of valid EAPOL frames of any type that have been received
by this authenticator.
EAPOL Frames
Transmitted
The number of EAPOL frames of any type that have been transmitted by
this authenticator.
Time Since Counters Last
Cleared
The elapsed time, in days, hours, minutes, and seconds since the
statistics for this port were last cleared.
