15.6.4 CE-Series Ethernet Card Performance Monitoring Parameters

CTC provides Ethernet performance information, including line-level parameters, port bandwidth
consumption, and historical Ethernet statistics. The CE-Series card Ethernet performance information is
divided into Ether Ports and POS Ports tabbed windows within the card view Performance tab window.
15.6.4.1 CE-Series Card Ether Port Statistics Window
The Ethernet Ether Ports Statistics window lists Ethernet parameters at the line level. The Statistics
window provides buttons to change the statistical values shown. The Baseline button resets the displayed
statistics values to zero. The Refresh button manually refreshes statistics. Auto-Refresh sets a time
interval at which automatic refresh occurs. The CE-Series Statistics window also has a Clear button. The
Clear button sets the values on the card to zero, but does not reset the CE-Series card.
During each automatic cycle, whether auto-refreshed or manually refreshed (using the Refresh button),
statistics are added cumulatively and are not immediately adjusted to equal total received packets until
testing ends. To see the final PM count totals, allow a few moments for the PM window statistics to finish
testing and update fully. PM counts are also listed in the CE-Series card Performance > History window.

CE-Series Ether Port PM Parameters
Definition
A time stamp indicating the last time statistics were reset.
Indicates whether the Ethernet link is receiving a valid Ethernet signal
(carrier) from the attached Ethernet device; up means present, and down
means not present.
Number of bytes received since the last counter reset.
Number of received packets.
Number of unicast packets received since the last counter reset.
Number of multicast packets received since the last counter reset.
Number of broadcast packets received since the last counter reset.
The number of inbound packets that were chosen to be discarded even
though no errors had been detected to prevent their being deliverable to a
higher-layer protocol. One possible reason for discarding such a packet
could be to free buffer space.
The number of inbound packets (or transmission units) that contained errors
preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol.
Number of bytes transmitted since the last counter reset.
Number of transmitted packets.
1
Number of outbound packets which were chosen to be discarded even
though no errors had been detected to prevent their transmission. A possible
reason for discarding such packets could be to free up buffer space.
1
Number of outbound packets or transmission units that could not be
transmitted because of errors.
2
Number of unicast packets transmitted.
