Input Total Packets
Displays the total number of packets received on the interface.
Input Packets Dropped
Displays the number of received packets dropped by the interface by the input
Queue of the hardware unit /software module associated with the VLAN. Packets
are dropped when the input Queue is full or unable to processing incoming traffic.
Input Packets Error Displays the number of packets with errors received on the interface. Input Packet
Errors are input errors due to; no buffer space/ignored packets due to broadcast
storms, packets larger than maximum packet size, framing errors, input rate
exceeding the receiver's date handling rate or cyclic redundancy check errors. In all
of these cases, an error is reported and logged.
Output Bytes
Displays the number of bytes transmitted from the interface.
Output Unicast Packets
Displays the number of unicast packets (packets directed towards a single
destination address) transmitted from the interface.
Output NonUnicast Displays the number of unicast packets transmitted from the interface.
Packets
Output Total Packets
Displays the total number of packets transmitted from the interface.
Output Packets Displays the number of transmitted packets dropped from the interface. Output
Dropped Packets Dropped are packets dropped when the output queue of the device
associated with the interface is saturated.
Output Packets Error Displays the number of transmitted packets with errors. Output Packet Errors are
the sum of all the output packet errors, malformed packets and misaligned
packets received.
"SET/GET" operation from the applet. The Status field displays error messages if something
goes wrong in the transaction between the applet and the controller.
