Parameter Description
Interface Statistics
Received Octets The total number of octets received on the interface,
including framing characters.
Received Unicast Packets The number of subnetwork-unicast packets delivered
to a higher-layer protocol.
Received Multicast
Packets
The number of packets, delivered by this sub-layer to
a higher (sub-)layer, which were addressed to a
multicast address at this sub-layer.
Received Broadcast
Packets
The number of packets, delivered by this sub-layer to
a higher (sub-)layer, which were addressed to a
broadcast address at this sub-layer.
Received Discarded
Packets

which were discarded because of an unknown or
unsupported protocol.
Received Errors The number of inbound packets that contained errors
preventing them from being deliverable to a
higher-layer protocol.
