Chapter 3 Configuring and graphing ports 87Reference for the BayStack 380-24F Gigabit Switch Management SoftwareFigure 40 Interface tab for graphing portsTable 33 describes the Interface tab fields for graphing ports.Table 33 Port Interface tab fields for multiple portsField DescriptionifInOctets The total number of octets received on the interface, includingframing characters.ifOutOctets The total number of octets transmitted out of the interface,including framing characters.ifInUcastPkts The number of packets delivered by this sublayer to a highersublayer that were not addressed to a multicast or broadcastaddress at this sublayer.ifOutUcastPkts The number of packets that higher-level protocols requested betransmitted that were not addressed to a multicast address at thissublayer. This total number includes those packets discarded orunsent.ifInNUcastPkts The number of packets delivered by this sublayer to a higher(sub)layer, which were addressed to a multicast or broadcastaddress at this sublayer.ifOutNUcastPkts The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requestedbe transmitted, and which were addressed to a multicast orbroadcast address at this sublayer, including those that werediscarded or not sent.InDiscards The number of inbound packets that were chosen to be discardedeven though no errors had been detected to prevent their beingdeliverable to a higher-layer protocol. One possible reason fordiscarding such a packet could be to free up buffer space.OutDiscards The number of outbound packets which were chosen to bediscarded even though no errors had been detected to preventtheir being transmitted. One possible reason for discarding such apacket could be to free up buffer space.
