5.1 Interface Statistics
Interface Statistics allow you to monitor the status and performance of the Ethernet and Wireless interfaces of the device.
To view interface statistics, do the following:
1. Navigate to MONITOR > Interface Statistics. The Interface Statistics screen appears.
2. To view Ethernet statistics, click Ethernet in the Interface Statistics screen. The following Ethernet statistics are
displayed.
•
Type: Specifies the type of interface.
•
MTU: Specifies the largest size of the data packet sent on the bridge.
•
Physical Address: Specifies the MAC address at the interface protocol layer.
•
Operational Status: Specifies the current operational status of the ethernet interface.
•
In Octets: Specifies the total number of octets received on the interface.
•
In Unicast Packets: Specifies the number of unicast subnetwork packets delivered at the higher level protocol.
•
In Non-Unicast Packets: Specifies the number of non-unicast subnetwork packets delivered at the higher level
protocol.
•
In Errors: Specifies the number of inbound packets with errors and that are restricted from being delivered.
•
Out Octets: Specifies the total number of octets transmitted out of the interface.
•
Out Unicast Packets: Specifies the total number of packets requested by the higher level protocol and then
transmitted to the non-unicast address.
•
Out Discards: Specifies the number of error-free outbound packets which are discarded to prevent them from
being transmitted. One possible reason for discarding such a packet could be to free up buffer space.
