Hi,
Please find..may be useful to me also in future
Hardware
This field describes the type of hardware that the interface is connected to. In this case, this Serial interface is part of a channelized T3.
Description
This field is simply used to describe the interface by the network administrator. It has not bearing on connectivity.
Internet address
This is the IP address and subnet mask assigned to the interface in question.
MTU, BW, DLY, rely, and load
- MTU - Maximum Tranmission Unit. By default, this is 1500 bytes, which describes the largest packet that can be sent through the interface before the packet is fragmented.
- BW - Bandwidth. This field is defined by the network administrator and has no actual effect on the bandwidth of a line. It is simply used for describing the load on a specific interface.
- DLY - Delay. Amount of micro seconds of delay. I do not have any more information on this at this time.
- rely - Reliability. Reliability of the interface as a fraction of 255 (255/255 is 100% reliability), calculated as an exponential average over five minutes (default).
- load - Load Average. Load on the interface as a fraction of 255 (255/255 is completely saturated), calculated as an exponential average over five minutes (default).
Encapsulation and Loopback
- Encapsulation is the type of Data-Link encapsulation. This is commonly either PPP, HDLC (Cisco's proprietary PPP), Frame-Relay, and ATM.
- Loopback specifies whether the loopback bit is set in the D channel signalling.
Last input
- The last input is the number of hours, minutes, and seconds since the last packet was successfully received by an interface. This is useful for determining when a dead interface.
- The last output is the number of hours, minutes, and seconds since the last packet was successfully transmitted by an interface. This is useful for determining when a dead interface failed.
- The output hang is the number of hours, minutes, and seconds (or never) since the interface was last reset because of a transmission that took too long.
Last clearing
This shows the elapsed time, in seconds, since the last clearing of the interface counters that will be described in a later section on counters.
Output queue, input queue, drops
Number of packets in output and input queues. Each number is followed by a slash, the maximum size of the queue, and the number of packets dropped due to a full queue.
5 minute input/output rate
Average number of bits and packets received and transmitted per second in the last five minutes.
Counters
- Packets input - Total number of error-free packets received.
- Broadcasts - Total number of broadcast or multicast packets received.
- Runts - Number of packets discarded because they are smaller than the medium's minimum packet size.
- Giants - Number of packets that are discarded because they exceed the medium's maximum packet size.
- Parity - Number of parity errors on the HSSI.
- RX Disabled - Indicates inability to get a buffer when accessing a packet.
- Input Errors - Sum of all errors that prevented the receipt of datagrams. This may not balance with the sum of the enumerated output errors, because some datagrams may have more than one error and others may have errors that do not fall into any of the specific categories.
- CRC - Cyclic redundancy checksum generated mismatch. CRC errors also are reported when a far-end abort occurs and when the idle flag pattern is corrupted. This makes it possible to get CRC errors even when there is no data traffic.
- Frame - Number of packets received incorrectly having a CRC error and a noninteger number of octets.
- Overrun - Number of times the serial receiver hardware was unable to hand received data to a hardware buffer because the input rate exceeded the receiver's ability to handle the data.
- Ignored - Number of received packets ignored by the interface because the interface hardware ran low on internal buffers.
- Abort - Number of packets whose receipt was aborted.
- Bytes - Total number of bytes, including data and MAC encapsulation, transmitted by the system.
- Underruns - Number of times that the far-end router's transmitter has been running faster than the near-end router's receiver can handle. This may never happen (be reported) on some interfaces.
- Congestion Drop - Number of messages discarded because the output queue on an interface grew too long.
- Output Errors - Sum of all errors that prevented the final transmission. This may not balance with the sum of the enumerated output errors, because some datagrams may have more than one error and others may have errors that do not fall into any of the specific categories.
- Interface Resets - Number of times an interface has been completely reset.
- Restarts - Number of times the controller was restarted because of errors.
- Carrier Transitions - Number of times the carrier detect signal of a serial interface has changed state.
