Monitoring Ethernet Performance Monitoring
Transmitted Valid
Unicast frames
The number of valid unicast frames transmitted by this interface.
Transmitted Valid
Multicast frames
The number of valid multicast frames transmitted by this interface.
For frames configured to be dropped by L2CP application, the Tx counter is
not incremented.
Transmitted Valid
Broadcast frames
The number of valid broadcast frames transmitted by this interface.
The number of outbound frames that were discarded because of errors during
transmission
The number of outbound frames that were discarded even though no errors
had been detected to prevent their being transmitted.
One possible reason for discarding such a frame could be to free up buffer
space.
Egress Rate limited frames are counted by receiver port counter as Rx
discarded valid frames.
If flow control is ON but link partner does not obey Pause, discarded frames
are not counted.
Table 70: Tx Ethernet Statistics
The number of collisions detected. This is only an estimate of the number of
collisions and can only be detected while in transmit mode, but not while in
receive mode.
Bandwidth Usage
ML700 devices enable monitoring the Ethernet bandwidth parameters per port and per
service. This section describes both options.
Ethernet Interface Bandwidth Monitoring
MetaASSIST View allows you to monitor bandwidth usage (average, current or max) during
on-going sessions for up to four ports at a time. In addition, a graph of the transmitted and
received bandwidth can be displayed for individual ports.
