In Discards 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.
In Errors The number of inbound packets that contained errors preventing
them from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol.
Alignment Errors The number of alignment errors (missynchronized data packets).
Out Octets The total number of octets transmitted out of the interface,
including framing characters.
Out Unicast Pkts. 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.
Out Non-Unicast
Pkts. The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested
be transmitted to a non- unicast (that is, a subnetwork-broadcast
or subnetwork-multicast) address, including those that were
discarded or not sent.
Out Discards 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.
Out Errors The number of outbound packets that could not be transmitted
because of errors.
CRC Errors Number of Ethernet Cyclic Redundancy Check errors detected by
this device.
Ethernet-Like
Single Collisions The number of successfully transmitted frames for which
transmission is inhibited by exactly one collision.
Deferred
Transmissions A count of frames for which the first transmission attempt on a
particular interface is delayed because the medium was busy.
Excessive Collisions The number of frames for which transmission failed due to
excessive collisions.
Drop Events The total number of events in which packets were dropped due to
lack of resources.
Octets Number of octets passing through this port.
Multiple Collisions A count of successfully transmitted frames for which transmission
is inhibited by more than one collision.
Late Collisions The number of times that a collision is detected later than 512
bit-times into the transmission of a packet.
Carrier Sense Errors The number of times that the carrier sense condition was lost or
never asserted when attempting to transmit a frame.
Fragments The total number of frames received that were less than 64
octets in length (excluding framing bits, but including FCS octets)
and had either an FCS or alignment error.
