3. The Interface Statistics screen displays the following content:
4. The Status is the current state of requests made from the applet. Requests are any “SET/GET” operation
from the applet. The Status field displays error messages if something goes wrong in the transaction
between the applet and the switch.
5. Click the Refresh button to refresh the virtual interface statistics. Status information is not polled to the
applet. Hence you have to refresh the switch to retrieve the data.
6. Click the Close button to exit the screen. Clicking Close does not lose any data, as there are no values
configured within this screen (it is read-only).
Name Displays the title of the logical interface selected.
MAC Address Displays physical address information associated with the interface. This address
is read-only (hard-coded at the factory) and cannot be modified.
Input Bytes Displays the number of bytes received by the interface.
Input Unicast
Packets Displays the number of unicast packets (packets directed towards the interface)
received at the interface.
Input NonUnicast
Packets Displays the number of NonUnicast Packets (Multicast and Broadcast Packets)
received at the interface.
Input Total Packets Displays the total number of packets received at the interface.
Input Packets
Dropped Displays the number of packets dropped at the interface by the input Queue of the
hardware unit /software module associated with the VLAN interface. Packets are
dropped when the input Queue of the interface is full or unable to handle incoming
traffic.
Input Packets Error Displays the number of packets with errors at the interface. Input Packet Errors are
input errors occurring 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 these cases, an error is reported.
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
Packets Displays the number of unicast packets transmitted from the interface.
Output Total Packets Displays the total number of packets transmitted from the interface.
Output Packets
Dropped Displays the number of transmitted packets dropped at the interface. Output
Packets Dropped are packets dropped when the output queue of the physical
device associated with 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 on an interface.
