Usage Guidelines
Display Interpretation
The
show
interfaces command displays statistics for the network interfaces. The resulting output varies, depending on the network for which an
interface has been configured. The resulting display on the Cisco 7200 series routers shows the interface processors in slot
order. If you add interface processors after booting the system, they will appear at the end of the list, in the order in
which they were inserted.
Information About Specific Interfaces
The
number argument designates the module and port number. If you use the
show
interfaces command on the Cisco 7200 series routers without the
slot / port arguments, information for all interface types will be shown. For example, if you type
show
interfaces you will receive information for all Ethernet, serial, Token Ring, and FDDI interfaces. Only by adding the type
slot / port argument you can specify a particular interface.
Cisco 7600 Series Routers
Valid values for the
number argument depend on the specified interface type and the chassis and module that are used. For example, if you specify a Gigabit
Ethernet interface and have a 48-port 10/100BASE-T Ethernet module that is installed in a 13-slot chassis, valid values for
the module number are from 1 to 13 and valid values for the port number are from 1 to 48.
The port channels from 257 to 282 are internally allocated and are supported on the Content Switching Module (CSM) and the
Firewall Services Module (FWSM) only.
Statistics are collected on a per-VLAN basis for Layer 2-switched packets and Layer 3-switched packets. Statistics are available
for both unicast and multicast traffic. The Layer 3-switched packet counts are available for both ingress and egress directions.
The per-VLAN statistics are updated every 5 seconds.
In some cases, you might see a difference in the duplex mode that is displayed between the
show
interfaces command and the
show
running-config commands. In this case, the duplex mode that is displayed in the
show
interfaces command is the actual duplex mode that the interface is running. The
show
interfaces command shows the operating mode for an interface, and the
show
running-config command shows the configured mode for an interface.
If you do not enter any keywords, all counters for all modules are displayed.
Command Variations
You will use the
show
interfaces command frequently while configuring and monitoring devices. The various forms of the
show
interfaces commands are described in detail in the sections that follow.
Dialer Interfaces Configured for Binding
If you use the
show
interfaces command on dialer interfaces configured for binding, the display will report statistics on each physical interface bound
to the dialer interface; see the following examples for more information.
Removed Interfaces
If you enter a
show
interfaces command for an interface type that has been removed from the router or access server, interface statistics will be displayed
accompanied by the following text: “Hardware has been removed.”
Weighted Fair Queueing Information
If you use the
show
interfaces command on a router or access server for which interfaces are configured to use weighted fair queueing through the
fair-queue interface command, additional information is displayed. This information consists of the current and high-water mark number
of flows.
Cisco 10000 Series Router
In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SB, when a multilink PPP (MLP) interface is down/down, its default bandwidth rate is the sum
of the serial interface bandwidths associated with the MLP interface.
In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(31)SB, the default bandwidth rate is 64 Kbps.
Examples
The following is sample output from the
show
interfaces command. Because your display will depend on the type and number of interface cards in your router or access server, only
a portion of the display is shown.
Note
|
If an asterisk (*) appears after the throttles counter value, it means that the interface was throttled at the time the command
was run.

Examples
The following example shows partial sample output when custom output queueing is enabled:
Router# show interfaces
Last clearing of “show interface” counters 0:00:06
Input queue: 0/75/0 (size/max/drops); Total output drops: 21
Output queues: (queue #: size/max/drops)

6: 0/20/0 7: 0/20/0 8: 0/20/0 9: 0/20/0 10: 0/20/0
.
.
.
When custom queueing is enabled, the drops accounted for in the output queues result from bandwidth limitation for the associated
traffic and lead to queue length overflow. Total output drops include drops on all custom queues and the system queue. Fields
are described with the weighted fair queueing output in the table below.
Examples
For each interface on the router or access server configured to use weighted fair queueing, the
show
interfaces command displays the information beginning with
Inputqueue : in the following display:

|
Examples
To display the number of packets of each protocol type that have been sent through all configured interfaces, use the
show
interfaces
accounting command. When you use the
accounting option, only the accounting statistics are displayed.
Note
|
Except for protocols that are encapsulated inside other protocols, such as IP over X.25, the accounting option also shows
the total bytes sent and received, including the MAC header. For example, it totals the size of the Ethernet packet or the
size of a packet that includes High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC) encapsulation.
|
Per-packet accounting information is kept for the following protocols:
-
AppleTalk
-
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) (for IP, Frame Relay, Switched Multimegabit Data Service (SMDS))
-
Connectionless Network Service (CLNS)
-
Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) Maintenance Operations Protocol (MOP)
The routers use MOP packets to advertise their existence to Digital Equipment Corporation machines that use the MOP. A router
periodically broadcasts MOP packets to identify itself as a MOP host. This results in MOP packets being counted, even when
DECnet is not being actively used.
Examples
The following is sample output from the
show
interfaces command when distributed WRED (DWRED) is enabled on an interface. Notice that the packet drop strategy is listed as “VIP-based

In this example, the physical interface is the B1 channel of the BRI0 link. This example also illustrates that the output
under the B channel keeps all hardware counts that are not displayed under any logical or virtual access interface. The line
in the report that states “Interface is bound to Dialer0 (Encapsulation LAPB)” indicates that the B interface is bound to
Dialer0 and the encapsulation running over this connection is Link Access Procedure, Balanced (LAPB), not PPP, which is the
encapsulation configured on the D interface and inherited by the B channel.

The table below describes the significant fields shown in the display.
Table 7. show interfaces fastethernet Field Descriptions--Fast Ethernet SPA
Field
|
Description
|
Fast Ethernet...is up ...is administratively down
|
Indicates whether the interface hardware is currently active and if it has been taken down by an administrator.
|
line protocol is
|
Indicates whether the software processes that handle the line protocol consider the line usable or if it has been taken down
by an administrator.
|
Hardware
|
Hardware type (for example, SPA-4FE-7304) and MAC address.
|
Description
|
Alphanumeric string identifying the interface. This appears only if the
description interface configuration command has been configured on the interface.
|
Internet address
|
Internet address followed by subnet mask.
|
MTU
|
Maximum transmission unit of the interface. The default is 1500 bytes for the 4-Port 10/100 Fast Ethernet SPA.
|
BW
|
Bandwidth of the interface in kilobits per second.
|
RxBW
|
Receiver bandwidth of the interface, in kilobits per second. This value is displayed only when an interface has asymmetric
receiver and transmitter rates.
|
DLY
|
Delay of the interface in microseconds.
|
reliability
|
Reliability of the interface as a fraction of 255 (255/255 is 100 percent reliability), calculated as an exponential average
over 5 minutes.
|
txload, rxload
|
Load on the interface (in the transmit “tx” and receive “rx” directions) as a fraction of 255 (255/255 is completely saturated),
calculated as an exponential average over 5 minutes.
|
Encapsulation
|
Encapsulation method assigned to the interface.
|
loopback
|
Indicates whether loopback is set.
|
Keepalive
|
Indicates whether keepalives are set, and the time interval.
|
Half-duplex, Full-duplex
|
Indicates the duplex mode for the interface.
|
100Mb/s, 10Mb/s
|
Speed of the interface in megabits per second.
|
100BaseTX/FX
|
Media protocol standard.
|
ARP type:
|
Type of ARP assigned and the timeout period.
|
Last input
|
Number of hours, minutes, and seconds since the last packet was successfully received by an interface and processed locally
on the router. Useful for knowing when a dead interface failed.
This field is not updated by fast-switched traffic.
|
output
|
Number of hours, minutes, and seconds since the last packet was successfully transmitted by the interface. Useful for knowing
when a dead interface failed.
|
output hang
|
Number of hours, minutes, and seconds (or never) since the interface was last reset because of a transmission that took too
long. When the number of hours in any of the “last” fields exceeds 24 hours, the number of days and hours is displayed. If
that field overflows, asterisks are printed.
Note
|
This field does not apply to SPA interfaces.
|
|
Last clearing
|
Time at which the counters that measure cumulative statistics (such as number of bytes transmitted and received) shown in
this report were last reset to zero. Note that variables that might affect routing (for example, load and reliability) are
not cleared when the counters are cleared.
A series of asterisks (***) indicates the elapsed time is too large to be displayed.
0:00:00 indicates the counters were cleared more than 231 ms (and less than 232 ms) ago.
|
Input queue (size/max/drops/flushes)
|
Packet statistics on the input queue reported as:
-
Size--Number of packets in the input queue.
-
Max--Maximum size of the queue.
-
Drops--Number of packets dropped because of a full input queue.
-
Flushes--Number of packets dropped as part of selective packet discard (SPD). SPD implements a selective packet drop policy
on the router’s IP process queue. Therefore, it applies only to process-switched traffic.
|
Total output drops
|
Total number of packets dropped because of a full output queue.
|
Queueing strategy
|
Type of Layer 3 queueing active on this interface. The default is first-in, first-out (FIFO).
|
Output queue (size/max)
|
Number of packets in the output queue (size), and the maximum size of the queue (max).
|
5 minute input rate, 5 minute output rate
|
Average number of bits and packets transmitted per second in the last 5 minutes. If the interface is not in promiscuous mode,
it senses network traffic it sends and receives (rather than all network traffic).
The 5-minute input and output rates should be used only as an approximation of traffic per second during a given 5-minute
period. These rates are exponentially weighted averages with a time constant of 5 minutes. A period of four time constants
must pass before the average will be within two percent of the instantaneous rate of a uniform stream of traffic over that
period.
|
packets input
|
Total number of error-free packets received by the system.
|
bytes
|
Total number of bytes, including data and MAC encapsulation, in the error-free packets received by the system.
|
Received...broadcasts
|
Total number of broadcast or multicast packets received by the interface.
|
runts
|
Number of packets that are discarded because they are smaller than the minimum packet size of the medium. For instance, any
Ethernet packet that is smaller than 64 bytes is considered a runt.
|
giants
|
Number of packets that are discarded because they exceed the maximum packet size of the medium. For example, any Ethernet
packet that is larger than 1536 bytes is considered a giant.
Note
|
For the 4-Port 10/100 Fast Ethernet SPA, the default is that a giant is any packet greater than 1536 bytes. However, if you
modify the maximum transmission unit (MTU) for the interface, this counter increments when you exceed the specified MTU for
the interface.
|
|
throttles
|
Number of times the receiver on the port was disabled, possibly because of buffer or processor overload.
|
input errors
|
Includes runts, giants, no buffer, cyclic redundancy check (CRC), frame, overrun, and ignored counts. Other input-related
errors can also cause the input errors count to be increased, and some datagrams may have more than one error; therefore,
this sum may not balance with the sum of enumerated input error counts.
|
CRC
|
Cyclic redundancy check generated by the originating LAN station or far-end device does not match the checksum calculated
from the data received. On a LAN, this usually indicates noise or transmission problems on the LAN interface or the LAN bus
itself. A high number of CRCs is usually the result of collisions or a station transmitting bad data.
|
frame
|
Number of packets received incorrectly having a CRC error and a noninteger number of octets. On a LAN, this is usually the
result of collisions or a malfunctioning Ethernet device.
|
overrun
|
Number of times the receiver hardware was unable to hand received data to a hardware buffer because the input rate exceeded
the receiver’s ability to handle the data.
|
ignored
|
Number of received packets ignored by the interface because the interface hardware ran low on internal buffers. These buffers
are different than the system buffers. Broadcast storms and bursts of noise can cause the ignored count to be increased.
|
watchdog
|
Number of times the watchdog receive timer expired. Expiration happens when receiving a packet with a length greater than
2048 bytes.
|
input packets with dribble condition detected
|
Dribble bit error indicates that a frame is slightly too long. This frame error counter is incremented for informational
purposes only; the router accepts the frame.
|
packets output
|
Total number of messages transmitted by the system.
|
bytes
|
Total number of bytes, including data and MAC encapsulation, transmitted by the system.
|
underruns
|
Number of times that the transmitter has been running faster than the router can handle.
|
output errors
|
Sum of all errors that prevented the final transmission of datagrams out of the interface being examined. Note that this
may not balance with the sum of the enumerated output errors, because some datagrams may have more than one error and others
may have errors that do not fall into any of the specifically tabulated categories.
|
collisions
|
Number of messages retransmitted because of an Ethernet collision. This is usually the result of an overextended LAN (Ethernet
or transceiver cable too long, more than two repeaters between stations, or too many cascaded multiport transceivers). A packet
that collides is counted only once in output packets.
|
interface resets
|
Number of times an interface has been completely reset. This can happen if packets queued for transmission were not sent
within several seconds. Interface resets can occur when an interface is looped back or shut down.
|
babbles
|
Transmit jabber timer expired.
|
late collision
|
Number of late collisions. Late collision happens when a collision occurs after transmitting the preamble.
|
deferred
|
Number of times that the interface had to defer while ready to transmit a frame because the carrier was asserted.
|
lost carrier
|
Number of times the carrier was lost during transmission.
|
no carrier
|
Number of times the carrier was not present during the transmission.
Note
|
This field does not apply to SPA interfaces.
|
|
output buffer failures, output buffers swapped out
|
These counters are not used by the 4-Port 10/100 Fast Ethernet SPA on the Cisco 7304 router.
|

Type of Layer 3 queueing active on this interface. The default is FIFO.
|
Output queue (size/max)
|
Number of packets in the output queue (size), and the maximum size of the queue (max).
|
5 minute input rate, 5 minute output rate
|
Average number of bits and packets transmitted per second in the last 5 minutes. If the interface is not in promiscuous mode,
it senses network traffic it sends and receives (rather than all network traffic).
The 5-minute input and output rates should be used only as an approximation of traffic per second during a given 5-minute
period. These rates are exponentially weighted averages with a time constant of 5 minutes. A period of four time constants
must pass before the average will be within two percent of the instantaneous rate of a uniform stream of traffic over that
period.
|
packets input
|
Total number of error-free packets received by the system.
|
bytes
|
Total number of bytes, including data and MAC encapsulation, in the error-free packets received by the system.
|
Received...broadcasts
|
Total number of broadcast or multicast packets received by the interface.
|
runts
|
Number of packets that are discarded because they are smaller than the minimum packet size of the medium. For instance, any
Ethernet packet that is smaller than 64 bytes is considered a runt.
|
giants
|
Number of packets that are discarded because they exceed the maximum packet size of the medium. For example, any Ethernet
packet that is larger than 1536 bytes is considered a giant.
Note
|
For the 2-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet SPA, the default is that a giant is any packet greater than 1536 bytes. However,
if you modify the MTU for the interface, this counter increments when you exceed the specified MTU for the interface.
|
|
throttles
|
Number of times the receiver on the port was disabled, possibly because of buffer or processor overload.
|
input errors
|
Includes runts, giants, no buffer, CRC, frame, overrun, and ignored counts. Other input-related errors can also cause the
input errors count to be increased, and some datagrams may have more than one error; therefore, this sum may not balance with
the sum of enumerated input error counts.
|
CRC
|
Cyclic redundancy check generated by the originating LAN station or far-end device does not match the checksum calculated
from the data received. On a LAN, this usually indicates noise or transmission problems on the LAN interface or the LAN bus
itself. A high number of CRCs is usually the result of collisions or a station transmitting bad data.
|
frame
|
Number of packets received incorrectly having a CRC error and a noninteger number of octets. On a LAN, this is usually the
result of collisions or a malfunctioning Ethernet device.
|
overrun
|
Number of times the receiver hardware was unable to hand received data to a hardware buffer because the input rate exceeded
the receiver’s ability to handle the data.
|
ignored
|
Number of received packets ignored by the interface because the interface hardware ran low on internal buffers. These buffers
are different than the system buffers. Broadcast storms and bursts of noise can cause the ignored count to be increased.
|
watchdog
|
Number of times the watchdog receive timer expired. Expiration happens when receiving a packet with a length greater than
2048 bytes.
|
input packets with dribble condition detected
|
Dribble bit error indicates that a frame is slightly too long. This frame error counter is incremented for informational
purposes only; the router accepts the frame.
|
packets output
|
Total number of messages transmitted by the system.
|
bytes
|
Total number of bytes, including data and MAC encapsulation, transmitted by the system.
|
underruns
|
Number of times that the transmitter has been running faster than the router can handle.
|
output errors
|
Sum of all errors that prevented the final transmission of datagrams out of the interface being examined. Note that this
may not balance with the sum of the enumerated output errors, because some datagrams may have more than one error and others
may have errors that do not fall into any of the specifically tabulated categories.
|
collisions
|
Number of messages retransmitted because of an Ethernet collision. This is usually the result of an overextended LAN (Ethernet
or transceiver cable too long, more than two repeaters between stations, or too many cascaded multiport transceivers). A packet
that collides is counted only once in output packets.
|
interface resets
|
Number of times an interface has been completely reset. This can happen if packets queued for transmission were not sent
within several seconds. Interface resets can occur when an interface is looped back or shut down.
|
babbles
|
Transmit jabber timer expired.
|
late collision
|
Number of late collisions. Late collision happens when a collision occurs after transmitting the preamble.
|
deferred
|
Number of times that the interface had to defer while ready to transmit a frame because the carrier was asserted.
|
lost carrier
|
Number of times the carrier was lost during transmission.
|
no carrier
|
Number of times the carrier was not present during the transmission.
Note
|
This field does not apply to SPA interfaces.
|
|
output buffer failures, output buffers swapped out
|
These counters are not used by the 2-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet SPA on the Cisco 7304 router.
|

from the data received. On a LAN, this usually indicates noise or transmission problems on the LAN interface or the LAN bus
itself. A high number of CRCs is usually the result of collisions or a station transmitting bad data. On a serial link, CRCs
usually indicate noise, gain hits, or other transmission problems on the data link.

The 5-minute input and output rates should be used only as an approximation of traffic per second during a given 5-minute
period. These rates are exponentially weighted averages with a time constant of 5 minutes. A period of four time constants
must pass before the average will be within two percent of the instantaneous rate of a uniform stream of traffic over that
period.

Table 12. show interfaces tengigabitethernet Field Descriptions--10-Gigabit Ethernet SPA
Field
|
Description
|
TenGigabitEthernet...is up ...is administratively down
|
Indicates whether the interface hardware is currently active and if it has been taken down by an administrator.

Indicates whether the software processes that handle the line protocol consider the line usable or if it has been taken down
by an administrator.
|
Hardware
|
Hardware type and MAC address.
|
Description

Alphanumeric string identifying the interface. This appears only if the
description interface configuration command has been configured on the interface.
|
Internet address
|
Internet address followed by subnet mask.
|
MTU
|
Maximum transmission unit of the interface.
|
BW
|
Bandwidth of the interface in kilobits per second.
|
DLY
|
Delay of the interface in microseconds.
|
reliability
|
Reliability of the interface as a fraction of 255 (255/255 is 100 percent reliability), calculated as an exponential average
over 5 minutes.
|
txload, rxload
|
Load on the interface (in the transmit “tx” and receive “rx” directions) as a fraction of 255 (255/255 is completely saturated),
calculated as an exponential average over 5 minutes.
|
Encapsulation
|
Encapsulation method assigned to the interface.
|
loopback
|
Indicates whether loopback is set.
|
Keepalive
|
Indicates whether keepalives are set, and the time interval.
|
Half-duplex, Full-duplex
|
Indicates the duplex mode for the interface.
|
10Gb/s
|
Speed of the interface in Gigabits per second.
|
input flow control ...
|
Specifies if input flow control is on or off.
|
ARP type:
|
Type of ARP assigned and the timeout period.
|
Last input
|
Number of hours, minutes, and seconds since the last packet was successfully received by an interface and processed locally
on the router. Useful for knowing when a dead interface failed.
This field is not updated by fast-switched traffic.
|
output
|
Number of hours, minutes, and seconds since the last packet was successfully transmitted by the interface. Useful for knowing
when a dead interface failed.
|
output hang
|
Number of hours, minutes, and seconds (or never) since the interface was last reset because of a transmission that took too
long. When the number of hours in any of the “last” fields exceeds 24 hours, the number of days and hours is displayed. If
that field overflows, asterisks are printed.
|
Last clearing
|
Time at which the counters that measure cumulative statistics (such as number of bytes transmitted and received) shown in
this report were last reset to zero. Note that variables that might affect routing (for example, load and reliability) are
not cleared when the counters are cleared.
A series of asterisks (***) indicates the elapsed time is too large to be displayed.
0:00:00 indicates the counters were cleared more than 231 ms (and less than 232 ms) ago.
|
Input queue (size/max/drops/flushes)
|
Packet statistics on the input queue reported as:
-
Size--Number of packets in the input queue.
-
Max--Maximum size of the queue.
-
Drops--Number of packets dropped because of a full input queue.
-
Flushes--Number of packets dropped as part of SPD. SPD implements a selective packet drop policy on the router’s IP process
queue. Therefore, it applies only to process-switched traffic.
|
Total output drops
|
Total number of packets dropped because of a full output queue.
|
Queueing strategy
|
Type of Layer 3 queueing active on this interface. The default is FIFO.
|
Output queue (size/max)
|
Number of packets in the output queue (size), and the maximum size of the queue (max).
|
5 minute input rate, 5 minute output rate
|
Average number of bits and packets transmitted per second in the last 5 minutes. If the interface is not in promiscuous mode,
it senses network traffic it sends and receives (rather than all network traffic).
The 5-minute input and output rates should be used only as an approximation of traffic per second during a given 5-minute
period. These rates are exponentially weighted averages with a time constant of 5 minutes. A period of four time constants
must pass before the average will be within two percent of the instantaneous rate of a uniform stream of traffic over that
period.
|
L2 Switched
|
Provides statistics about Layer 2 switched traffic, including unicast and multicast traffic.
|
L3 in Switched
|
Provides statistics about received Layer 3 traffic.
|
L3 out Switched
|
Provides statistics about sent Layer 3 traffic.
|
packets input
|
Total number of error-free packets received by the system.
|
bytes
|
Total number of bytes, including data and MAC encapsulation, in the error-free packets received by the system.
|
Received...broadcasts
|
Total number of broadcast or multicast packets received by the interface.
|
runts
|
Number of packets that are discarded because they are smaller than the minimum packet size of the medium.
|
giants
|
Number of packets that are discarded because they exceed the maximum packet size of the medium.
|
throttles
|
Number of times the receiver on the port was disabled, possibly because of buffer or processor overload.
|
input errors
|
Includes runts, giants, no buffer, CRC, frame, overrun, and ignored counts. Other input-related errors can also cause the
input errors count to be increased, and some datagrams may have more than one error; therefore, this sum may not balance with
the sum of enumerated input error counts.
|
CRC
|
Cyclic redundancy check generated by the originating LAN station or far-end device does not match the checksum calculated
from the data received. On a LAN, this usually indicates noise or transmission problems on the LAN interface or the LAN bus
itself. A high number of CRCs is usually the result of collisions or a station transmitting bad data.
|
frame
|
Number of packets received incorrectly having a CRC error and a noninteger number of octets. On a LAN, this is usually the
result of collisions or a malfunctioning Ethernet device.
|
overrun
|
Number of times the receiver hardware was unable to hand received data to a hardware buffer because the input rate exceeded
the receiver’s ability to handle the data.
|
ignored
|
Number of received packets ignored by the interface because the interface hardware ran low on internal buffers. These buffers
are different than the system buffers. Broadcast storms and bursts of noise can cause the ignored count to be increased.
|
watchdog
|
Number of times the watchdog receive timer expired.
|
multicast
|
Number of multicast packets.
|
pause input
|
Number of pause packets received.
|
input packets with dribble condition detected
|
Dribble bit error indicates that a frame is slightly too long. This frame error counter is incremented for informational
purposes only; the router accepts the frame.
|
packets output
|
Total number of messages transmitted by the system.
|
bytes
|
Total number of bytes, including data and MAC encapsulation, transmitted by the system.
|
underruns
|
Number of times that the transmitter has been running faster than the router can handle.
|
output errors
|
Sum of all errors that prevented the final transmission of datagrams out of the interface being examined. Note that this
may not balance with the sum of the enumerated output errors, because some datagrams may have more than one error and others
may have errors that do not fall into any of the specifically tabulated categories.
|
collisions
|
Number of messages retransmitted because of an Ethernet collision. This is usually the result of an overextended LAN (Ethernet
or transceiver cable too long, more than two repeaters between stations, or too many cascaded multiport transceivers). A packet
that collides is counted only once in output packets.
|
interface resets
|
Number of times an interface has been completely reset. This can happen if packets queued for transmission were not sent
within several seconds. Interface resets can occur when an interface is looped back or shut down.
|
babbles
|
Transmit jabber timer expired.
|
late collision
|
Number of late collisions. Late collision happens when a collision occurs after transmitting the preamble.
|
deferred
|
Number of times that the interface had to defer while ready to transmit a frame because the carrier was asserted.
|
lost carrier
|
Number of times the carrier was lost during transmission.
|
no carrier
|
Number of times the carrier was not present during the transmission.
|
pause output
|
Number of pause packets transmitted.
|
output buffer failures, output buffers swapped out
|
Number of output butters failures and output buffers swapped out.
|
