Ethernet Performance Statistics of CEL-3 Card

Perform the steps given below to view the performance statistics of an Ethernet interface on CEL-3 card.

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

    Current interval statistics- ETHTX (L2 mode) on CEL-3

ETHTX/ETHGE Performance Parameters- Binned Counters

Parameter

Description

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.

Single Collision Frames

Number of frames that are involved in a single collision.

Multiple Collision Frames

Number of frames that are involved in more than one collision and are subsequently transmitted successfully.

Frames Received

Count of frames received.

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.

Late Collisions

Number of the times that a collision has been detected later than one slot Time from the start of the packet transmission. A late collision is counted twice, both as a collision and late collision.

Frames Aborted Due To Excessive Collisions

Number of the frames that, due to excessive collisions are not transmitted successfully.

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 Transmitted

Count of multicast frames transmitted 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.

Broadcast Frames Received

Count of broadcast frames received on the interface.

Collisions

The total number of regular collision events occurring during transmission.

Pause Frames Transmitted

Count of pause frames transmitted from the interface.

Pause Frames Received

Count of pause frames received on the interface.

Ethernet Interval Valid

Displays whether the period is valid.

FCS Error Bytes

The number of bytes whose FCS sequence is not correct.

When the ETHTX/ETHGE interface on CEL-3 card is configured in L2 mode, Running Counters are displayed along with Binned Counters.

ETHTX/ETHGE Performance Parameters- Running Counters

Parameter

Description

Section Interval Valid

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

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.

Packets RX/TX 1523-2047 Bytes

Count of 1523-2047 byte length packets.

Packets RX/TX 2048-4095 Bytes

Count of 2048-4095 byte length packets.

Packets RX/TX 4096-9216 Bytes

Count of 4096-9216 byte length packets.

Egress Discards Frame

Displays the count of frames discarded apart from the egress definitions.

STP BPDU's RX

Unicast Frames TX

Displays the Unicast Frames transmitted.

Rx Overflow

Displays the count of packets dropped beyond the buffer threshold value.
