L2 STAT PORT

Qualifiers:

<port_number>

Purpose:

Displays the current operational status of the Layer 2 ports based on parameters configured in the Layer 2 (L2) Switch form. Also provides traffic details for specified ports.

Details:

Entering the command without a qualifier displays the operational status. Specifying a port number shows traffic details for that port.

Operational Status

Field Name

Description

MAC Address

The MAC Address of the L2 switch port.

Status

The status (Enabled or Disabled) of each port.

Speed

The operating speed of each port: 10 Mb, 100 Mb, 1000 Mb (gigabit).

Duplex

The data transfer operation of each port: Half-duplex (Half DX), full-duplex (Full DX).

FlowCtrl

The flow control mode of each port as set in the Layer 2 (L2) Switch form or as negotiated with the other end.

Disabled - The port does not generate flow control packets, and drops any flow control packets it receives.

Enabled - The port uses 802.3x Link Layer Flow Control, generates flow control packets, and processes received flow control packets.

Receive Counters

Rx Bytes

The total number of bytes received on a port.

Rx Frames

The total number of packets (good and bad) received by a port. Includes broadcast packets, and multicast packets.

Rx Unicast

The total number of good unicast packets received by a port. It excludes packets received with errors, with multicast or broadcast destination addresses, with oversized or undersized packets, discarded packets, and packets without a destination.

Rx Multicast

The total number of good multicast packets received by a port. It excludes packets received with errors, with multicast destination addresses, with oversized or undersized packets, discarded packets, and packets without a destination.

Rx Broadcast

The total number of well-formed broadcast packets received by a port. It excludes packets received with errors, with multicast destination addresses, with oversized or undersized packets, discarded packets, and packets without a destination.

Rx Discards

The total number of packets discarded because of insufficient receive bandwidth or receive buffer space or because the forwarding rules stipulate that they not be forwarded.

Rx Errors

Rx CRC/Alignment Errors

The total number of packets received with CRC or alignment errors.

Rx Fragments

The total of received fragments. Fragments are pieces of a packet.

Rx Jabbers

The total number of packets received by a port that are longer than 1522 bytes and have either an FCS error or an alignment error.

Oversize Frames

The total number of packets received of more than 1518 bytes that have good FCS values

Undersize Frames

The total number of packets received of less than 64 bytes that have good FCS values.

64 Byte Frames

The number of good and bad packets received that are exactly 64 bytes in length, including CRC.

65-127 Byte Frames

The number of good and bad packets received that are 65-127 bytes in length, including CRC.

128-255 Byte Frames

The number of good and bad packets received that are 128-255 bytes in length, including CRC.

256-511 Byte Frames

Thes number of good and bad packets received that are 256-511 bytes in length, including CRC.

512-1023 Byte Frames

The number of good and bad packets received that are 512-1023 bytes in length, including CRC.

1024-1518 Byte Frames

The number of good and bad packets received that are 1024-1522 bytes in length, including CRC.

Transmit Counters

Tx Bytes

The total number of bytes transmitted by a port.

Tx Frames

The total number of frames transmitted by a port.

Tx Unicast

The total number of good unicast packets transmitted by a port. It excludes packets received with errors, with multicast or broadcast destination addresses, with oversized or undersized packets, discarded packets, and packets without a destination.

Tx Multicast

The total number of good multicast packets transmitted by a port. It excludes packets received with errors, with multicast destination addresses, with oversized or undersized packets, discarded packets, and packets without a destination.

Tx Broadcast

The total number of good broadcast packets received by a port. It excludes packets received with errors, with multicast destination addresses, with oversized or undersized packets, discarded packets, and packets without a destination.

Tx Collisions

The number of collisions experienced by a port due to packet transmissions.

Late Collisions

The total number of packets discarded because of late collisions detected during transmission. It includes all transmit packets that had a collision after the transmission of the packet's 64th byte. The preamble and SFD are not included in the frame's byte count.

Receive Counters

Rx Bytes

As per LX Controller

Rx Frames

Rx Unicast

Rx Multicast

Rx Broadcast

Rx Unknown Protocols

The number of received packets discarded during packet header validation, including packets with unrecognized label values.

Rx Discards

As per LX Controller

Rx Errors

Rx Alignment Errors

The total number of packets received with alignment errors.

Rx FCS Errors

The total number of packets received with FCS errors. The number of FCS errors should be a very small percentage of the total data traffic.

Rx Symbol Errors

The total number of times a valid length packet was received at a port and had at least one invalid data symbol.

Rx Fragments

As per LX Controller

Rx Jabbers

Oversize Frames

As per LX Controller

Undersize Frames

64 Byte Frames

128-255 Byte Frames

256-511 Byte Frames

512-1023 Byte Frames

1024-1518 Byte Frames

Rx Src Addr. Changes

The number of times the source address (SA) of good received packets has changed.  A count greater than one generally indicates the port is connected to a repeater based network.

Rx Source Address

The last received source address.

Transmit Counters

Tx Bytes

As per LX Controller

Tx Frames

Tx Unicast

Tx Multicast

Tx Broadcast

Tx Discards

The total number of transmit frames discarded due to lack of resources (e.g., transmit FIFO overflow), or an internal MAC sublayer transmit error not counted by transmit Late Collisions or Excessive Collisions counters.

Tx Collisions

As per LX Controller

Late Collisions

Excessive Collisions

The total number of packets that failed to be sent after 16 collisions.

Single Collisions

The total number of packets that could not be sent due to a single collision.

Multiple Collisions

The number of times that a transmitted packet encountered more than one collision but fewer than 16. This counter increments only if the device is in half-duplex mode.

Deferred Transmissions

The number of packets for which the first transmission attempt on a particular interface is delayed because the medium is busy. The count excludes packets involved in collisions.
