Obtaining Status and Statistical Information
Frame Relay Information
The statistics shown in the section are gathered at the Frame Relay protocol level.
Octets
The total octets, or bytes, received (first row) and sent (second row) on this port. The
third row shows the cumulative number of octets that have passed through the port (sent
and received). This statistic includes the data and Frame Relay header fields, but does not
include or flag characters.
CRC
UniCast Frames
The total number of Unicast frames received (first row) and sent (second row) on this
port. The third row shows the cumulative number of Unicast frames that have passed
through this port (sent and received).
Unicast frames are destined for a specific virtual circuit, and are normally sent from one
local to the corresponding on the other side of the Frame Relay link. In Frame
DLCI DLCI
Relay terms, these unicast frames are sent from a logical , such as s port, to a
DTE WSX
Remote logical , such as a port on the other side of the Frame Relay link.
DTE WSX
Discarded Frames
The number of frames discarded due to an error.
Error Count
Frames that contained Frame Relay type errors, such as protocol errors and invalid
DLCMI
frame format. This count does not include standard physical errors, such as CRC and abort
errors.
Administrative/Operational Status
This field shows the Administrative and Operational Status of this port. The status
WSX
indicator before the slash refers to the Administrative Status. If , then the port has been
enabled and can transmit data as long as its Operational Status is also UP. If the Adminis-
trative Status is , then the port will not pass data even if its physical connection is
good.
The status indicator after the slash refers to the Operational Status. If , then the port is
capable of passing data as long as it has been logically enabled at the Administrative
level. If , then the port cannot pass data due to a problem in the physical connection
(e.g., cable disconnected, could not detect cable type) or because the port is Admin-
WSX
istratively Down.
