Interface Statistics

Data for this window is extracted from the Interface
Group in MIB II (RFC 1213). An entry is included for
each subnetwork interface. This window provides
information on the amount of traffic passing through
this interface and the associated errors. This
information can also be displayed as a graph by
clicking STAT, or passed to the EliteView Log Manager
by clicking LOG and defining the required event
criteria. Refer to the sections on Viewing Statistics or
Adding a Log Process if these functions are required.

A unique index for each subnetwork connection.
Total number of bytes received on the interface, including framing characters.
Number of subnetwork unicast packets delivered to a higher-layer protocol.
Number of non-unicast packets (i.e., broadcast or multicast) delivered to a higher-layer protocol.
Number of inbound packets that were discarded even though no errors were detected. One reason for
discarding such packets is lack of buffer space.
The number of inbound packets containing errors that prevented them from being delivered to a higher-
layer protocol.
Total number of bytes transmitted from the interface, including framing characters.
Total number of packets requested by higher-level protocols for retransmission to a unicast address,
including those either discarded or not sent.
Total number of packets requested by higher-level protocols for retransmission to a broadcast or
multicast address, including those either discarded or not sent.
The number of outbound packets containing errors that prevented them from being delivered to a
higher-layer protocol. One reason for discarding such packets is to free up buffer space.
Number of outbound packets that could not be transmitted due to errors.
This window provides statistical information on the
traffic and associated errors for the selected interface.
