Description
|
An alias name for the interface, as specified by a network manager. For
Port Channel and FCIP, this field will always show members if they are
available. For FCIP, this field will show compress if compressed.
|

|
Mode
|
Operating mode of the port> (See Legend).
|
Connected To
|
Attached port. This could be a host, storage, or switch port.
|
Speed
|
Maximum bandwidth in Gbps.
|
Rx
|
One of the following:
Utilization %
Number of Bytes
Number of Frames
Average Frame Size
|
Tx
|
One of the following:
Utilization %
Number of Bytes
Number of Frames
Average Frame Size
|
Errors
|
Total number of Rx and Tx errors on the interface. Types of Rx errors
include CRC errors, fragmented framed, unsupported class frames, runt
frames, jabber frames, and giant Frames. Types of Tx errors are
generally CRC errors, but these are rare. If the Errors field is not empty,
there are probably Rx errors. For a more detailed breakdown of the error
count, check the Monitor dialog box for appropriate interface.
|
Discards
|
Total number of Rx and Tx discards on the interface. Rx frames
discarded are generally due to protocol errors. On rare occasions, a
frame is received without any hardware errors, but a filtering rule set for
the MAC address discards the frame due to a mismatch. Discarded Tx
frames can be timeout frame discards (port is offline or not up), or
timeout frames that are not sent back to the supervisor (class F/2
frames). If the Discards field is not empty, it is probably due to timeout
frames.

Log
