The following table describes the bridging statistics for a selected port:
Table 36 Bridging statistics for port
Statistics Description
dot1PortInFrames
The number of frames that have been received by this port from its
segment.
A frame received on the interface corresponding to this port is counted by
this object, if and only if, it is for a protocol being processed by the local
bridging function, including bridge management frames.
dot1PortOutFrames
The number of frames that have been transmitted by this port to its
segment.
A frame transmitted on the interface corresponding to this port is counted
by this object, if and only if, it is for a protocol being processed by the local
bridging function, including bridge management frames.
dot1PortInDiscards
Count of valid frames received which were discarded (that is, filtered) by
the forwarding process.
dot1TpLearnedEntryDiscards
The total number of Forwarding Database entries, which have been or
would have been learned, but have been discarded due to a lack of space
to store them in the Forwarding Database.
If this counter is increasing, it indicates that the Forwarding Database is
regularly becoming full (a condition which has adverse performance effects
on the sub network).
If this counter has a significant value but is not presently increasing, it
indicates that the problem has been occurring but is not persistent.
dot1StpPortForwardTransition
s
The number of times this port has transitioned from the Learning state to
the Forwarding state.
