Showing Port Statistics

You can display standard statistics on network traffic from the Interfaces

Group MIB, Ethernet-like MIB, and RMOM MIB. These statistics display

errors on the traffic passing through each port. This information can be

used to identify potential problems with the switch (such as a faulty port or

unusually heavy loading). All values displayed have been accumulated since

the last system reboot, and are shown as counts per second. Statistics are

refreshed every 5 seconds.

Note: RMON groups 2, 3 and 9 can only be accessed using SNMP

management software.

Field Attributes

• State – Shows whether or not the port is operational.

• Link – Indicates if the link is Up or Down.

• TxGoodPkt – The total number of packets transmitted out of the

interface, including framing characters.

• TxBadPkt – The number of outbound packets that could not be

transmitted because of errors.

• RxGoodPkt – The total number of packets received on the interface,

including framing characters.

• RxBadPkt – The number of inbound packets that contained errors

preventing them from being delivered to a higher-layer protocol.

• TxAbort – The number of outbound packets which were chosen to be

discarded even though no errors had been detected to prevent their

being transmitted. One possible reason for discarding such a packet

could be to free up buffer space.

• Collision – The best estimate of the total number of collisions on this

Ethernet segment.

• DropPkt – The total number of events in which packets were dropped

due to lack of resources.
