Table B-7. Field Definitions for the netstat –g Command (continued)
Field Definition
Trigg. Displays the number of triggered updates transmitted over the
interface. The 5399 RAC sends triggered updates whenever it
changes the hop count of a route. It transmits them
immediately, even if it is not yet time for one of the regular
update messages to be transmitted.
Rec'd Displays the number of packets (with or without errors)
received over the interface.
Sent Displays the number of output packets the 5399 RAC tried to
send over the interface. This number includes packets that
were dropped because the 5399 RAC ran out of buffers or the
link's output queue was full.
Disc'd Displays the number of input packets discarded due to
protocol errors or restrictions set by configuration parameters
(e.g., rip_accept).
Update Displays the number on lines in the routing table that were
modified due to packets received on that interface.
Queries Displays the number of routing-table queries received on the
interface.
Routing Table Information
The netstat –r command displays statistics and information about all
available routes in the kernel routing table, including dial-out routes;
dynamic dialing routes that do not have a phone connection established
appear with a w at the end of the route entry. Table B-8 lists the netstat
command arguments that display routing information. Table B-9
describes the field definitions for the netstat –r command display.
