The following table describes Switch Statistics information.
Table 5. Switch Statistics
Field Description
ifIndex The ifIndex of the interface table entry associated with the processor of
this switch.
Octets Received The total number of octets of data received by the processor excluding
framing bits but including FCS octets.
Packets Received Without Errors The total number of packets including broadcast packets and multicast
packets received by the processor.
Unicast Packets Received The number of subnetwork-unicast packets delivered to a higher-layer
protocol.
Multicast Packets Received The total number of packets received that were directed to a multicast
address. Note that this number does not include packets directed to the
broadcast address.
Broadcast Packets Received The total number of packets received that were directed to the
broadcast address. Note that this does not include multicast packets.
Receive Packets Discarded The number of inbound packets that were discarded even though no
errors were detected to prevent their being deliverable to a higher-layer
protocol. A possible reason for discarding a packet could be to free up
buffer space.
Octets Transmitted The total number of octets transmitted out of the interface, including
framing characters.
Packets Transmitted Without
Errors
The total number of packets transmitted out of the interface.
Unicast Packets Transmitted The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested that
is transmitted to a subnetwork-unicast address, including those that
were discarded or not sent.
Multicast Packets Transmitted The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested that
are transmitted to a Multicast address, including those that were
discarded or not sent.
Broadcast Packets Transmitted The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested that
are transmitted to the broadcast address, including those that were
discarded or not sent.
Transmit Packets Discarded The number of outbound packets that were discarded even though no
errors were detected to prevent their being deliverable to a higher-layer
protocol. A possible reason for discarding a packet could be to free up
buffer space.
Most Address Entries Ever Used The highest number of Forwarding Database Address Table entries
that were learned by this switch since the most recent reboot.
Address Entries in Use The number of learned and static entries in the Forwarding Database
