4.2.5.6 Counters
The counters option displays the MIB-2 statistics gathered for the WAN port.
Additionally, the WAN ports displays the statistics for the packet encapsulator. Since the
WAN port operates at a lower speed then the LAN ports, there may be traffic overload
leading to packet discards. The Interface Statistics contain the frames that enter/leave the
WAN port on the system side. The ifIn statistics correspond to the Encap Frames count
and thus if the combined “ifInUcastPkts” and “ifInNUcastPkts” counts are greater than the
Encap Frames, it is a sign that packets are being discarded due to WAN link overload.
