Count

The number of discarded frames logged in the frame log that have the log
timestamp, TX port, RX port, SID, DID, SFID and DFID values listed on this line of

The date and time when the frames described in this line of output were
discarded.

TX port

Egress port where the frames were bound to exit the chassis. A port displayed as
-1 (or -1/-1 on slot-based systems) indicates an internal port.

RX port

Ingress port where the frames were bound to enter the chassis. A port displayed
as -1 (or -1/-1 on slot-based systems indicates an internal port.
