Interface Details 183
Access Server Administrators’ Reference Guide 15 • Interfaces
Received and Discarded w/No Errs (ifInDiscards)
The number of inbound packets which were chosen to be discarded even though no errors had been detected
to prevent their being deliverable to a higher layer protocol. One possible reason for discarding such a packet
could be to free up buffer space.
Received Errored Packets (ifInErrors)
The number of inbound packets that contained errors preventing them from being deliverable to a higher layer
protocol.
Received w/Unknown Protocol (ifInUnknownProtos)
The number of packets received via the interface which were discarded because of an unknown or unsupported
protocol.
Transmitted Octets (ifOutOctets)
The total number of octets transmitted out of the interface, including framing characters.
Requested Unicast Packets (ifOutUcastPkts)
The total number of packets that higher level protocols requested be transmitted to a subnetwork-unicast
address, including those that were discarded or not sent.
Requested Non-Unicast Packets (ifOutNUcastPkts)
The total number of packets that higher level protocols requested be transmitted to a non-unicast (that is, a
sub-network-broadcast or sub-network-multicast) address, including those that were discarded or not sent.
Requested and Discarded w/No Errs (ifOutDiscards)
The number of outbound packets which were chosen to be discarded even though no errors had been detected
to prevent their being transmitted. One possible reason for discarding such a packet could be to free up buffer
space.
Requested Errored Packets (ifOutErrors)
The number of outbound packets that could not be transmitted because of errors.
Output Packet Queue Length (ifOutQLen)
The length of the output packet queue (in packets).
