Viewing Ethernet Performance Statistics

The Ethernet performance counters gives performance statistics of the Ethernet interface.

Perform the steps given below to view the performance statistics of an Ethernet interface.

  1. Click Performance in the navigation pane.
  2. Do one of the following:
  3. Click on the desired ETH port link. The performance statistics of the selected Ethernet port is displayed.

Ethernet Performance Parameters- Binned Counters

Parameter

Description

BINNED COUNTERS: Binned Counters displayed on ETH port of CEF-5 card are given below

Section Interval Valid

Interval Valid is the validity of the interval and the validity of data during that interval.

Ethernet Interval Valid

Displays whether the period is valid.

Packets RX/TX 64 Bytes

Count of 64 byte length packets.

Packets RX/TX 65-127 Bytes

Count of 65-127 byte length packets.

Packets RX/TX 128-255 Bytes

Count of 128-255 byte length packets.

Packets RX/TX 256-511 Bytes

Count of 256-511 byte length packets.

Packets RX/TX 512-1023 Bytes

Count of 512-1023 byte length packets.

Packets RX/TX 1024-1518 Bytes

Count of 1024-1518 byte length packets.

Packets RX/TX 1519-1522 Bytes

Count of 1519-1522 byte length packets.

Unacceptable Frame Type

Count of frames discarded based on frame policy.

Frames Received

Count of frames received.

Octets Received

Count of octets including padding octets successfully received.

Frames Transmitted

Count of frames transmitted.

Octets Transmitted

Count of octets including padding octets successfully transmitted.

FCS Errors RX

Count of received frames with incorrect FCS.

Frames Too Short RX

Count of received frames less then 64 bytes, with a correct FCS value.

Pause Frames Received

Count of pause frames received on the interface.

Broadcast Frames Received

Count of broadcast frames received on the interface.

Broadcast Frames Transmitted

Count of broadcast frames transmitted on the interface.

Multicast Frames Received

Count of multicast frames received on the interface.

Multicast Frames Transmitted

Count of multicast frames transmitted on the interface.

Frame Fragment TX

The total number of transmitted frames with fragment error.

Frame Fragment RX

The total number of received frames with fragment error.

Frame Jabber TX

Count of jabber frames transmitted from the interface.

Frame Jabber RX

Count of jabber frames received on the interface.

Discarded Rx packets

Count of receive frames discarded.

Discarded Tx Packets

Count of transmit frames discarded.

Service Lookup Failure

Count of ingress frames which do not match any of the FP definitions.

Ingress Other Discards

Count of frames discarded apart from the ingress definitions.

MTU Discards

Count of frames discarded based on MTU.

Packets RX/TX > 1522 (Jumbo Frames)

Count of 1522-9616 byte length packets.

Binned Counters displayed on ETH port of HCPSLine01 and HCPULine01 cards are given below.

Idle Seconds

The count of idle second in Ethernet traffic. An idle second is a second in which no data frames or errored frames are received. This counter will be incremented in a non-ES/non-SES/non-UAS second.

ES

The count of Errored Seconds.

SES

The count of Severely Error Seconds.

UAS

The count of Unavailable Seconds.

Frames Transmitted

Count of frames transmitted.

Frames Received

Count of frames received.

Frames Dropped Rx

The number of frames dropped at the Ethernet port in receive direction.

FCS Error Frames

The count of frames whose FCS sequence is not correct.

Alignment Errors

Number of frames that are not an integral number of octets in length and do not pass the FCS check.

Octets Transmitted

Count of octets including padding octets successfully transmitted.

Octets Received

Count of octets including padding octets successfully received.

Frame Too Short Errors

Displays a count of frames that are received with a frame size below

the minimum permitted frame size.

Frame Too Long Errors

Displays a count of frames that are received with a frame size above

the maximum permitted frame size.

Multicast Frames Received

Count of multicast frames received on the interface.

Broadcast Frames Received

Count of broadcast frames received on the interface.

Internal MAC Receive errors

 

Pause Frames Transmitted

Count of pause frames transmitted on the interface.

Pause Frames Received

Count of pause frames received on the interface.

Ethernet Interval Valid

Displays whether the period is valid.

Frames Dropped Tx

The number of frames dropped at the Ethernet port in transmit direction.

FCS Error Bytes

The number of bytes whose FCS sequence is not correct.

NOTE: Parameters namely Alignment Errors, Multicast Frames Received, Broadcast Frames Receied and Internal MAC Receive errors will get displayed on on HCPSLine01 card.
