Bridging ("Dot1") Statistics; Interface ("If") Statistics - Input - HP GbE2c - Blc Layer 2/3 Fiber SFP Option Interface Manual

Port statistics are described in the following table:

The next several tables contain specific information about bridging, interface (input and output), and Ethernet
statistics.

Description
Select Clear and click Submit to clear statistics for this port.
Enables or disables the port.
Enables or disables RMON for the port.
Description
The number of frames that have been received by this port from its segment. A frame received on
the interface corresponding to this port is only counted by this object if and only if it is for a
protocol being processed by the local bridging function, including bridge management frames.
The number of frames that have been transmitted by this port to its segment. Note that a frame
transmitted on the interface corresponding to this port is only counted by this object if and only if
it is for a protocol being processed by the local bridging function, including bridge management
frames.
Count of valid frames received that were discarded (that is, filtered) by the Forwarding Process.
The total number of Forwarding Database entries, which have been or would have been learnt,
but have been discarded due to a lack of space to store them in the Forwarding Database. If this
counter is increasing, it indicates that the Forwarding Database is regularly becoming full (a
condition which has unpleasant performance effects on the sub network). If this counter has a
significant value but is not presently increasing, it indicates that the problem has been occurring
but is not persistent.
The number of times this port has transitioned from the Learning state to the Forwarding state.
The number of times an interface has transitioned from either down to up or from up to down.
Description
The total number of octets received on the interface, including framing characters.
The number of packets, delivered by this sub layer to a higher sub layer, which were not
addressed to a multicast or broadcast address at this sub layer.
The number of packets, delivered by this sub layer to a higher sub layer, which were addressed
to a broadcast address at this sub layer.
The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested to be transmitted, and which
were addressed to a multicast address at this sub layer, including those that were discarded or
not sent. For a MAC layer protocol, this includes both Group and Functional addresses.
The number of inbound packets that were chosen to be discarded even though no errors had
been detected to prevent their being delivered to a higher-layer protocol. One possible reason
for discarding such a packet could be to free up buffer space.
