Explanation of Card Statistics

The following list provides descriptions of the card statistics that are output from the lanadmin(1M) command:

Field

Description

Driver Statistics

In Packet Error

Number of inbound packets discarded because they were received when the driver was not operational or the packet length was incorrect.

Out Packet Error

Number of outbound packets discarded because the driver was not operational or the driver had insufficient resources (memory) to transmit the packet.

Loopback packets

Number of packets looped back to the upper layers by the driver.

Link Down events

Number of link down events, that is, cable disconnects processed by the driver.

Host Command Statistics

nicCmdsDelMCastAddr

Number of times the driver has issued a command to the NIC to delete a multicast MAC address.

nicCmdsSetPromiscMode

Number of times the NIC received a command to enable or disable promiscuous mode.

nicCmdsSetMACAddr

Number of times the NIC received a command to set the current MAC address.

nicCmdsClearStats

Number of times the NIC received a command to clear the card statistics maintained by the card.

NIC Events Statistics

nicEventsFirmwareOperational

The number of events the driver has received from the NIC indicating that the firmware on the NIC is in the operational state.

nicEventsStatsUpdated

The number of times the NIC has updated the MIB interface statistics.

nicEventsLinkStateChanged

The number of events the driver has processed indicating that the status of the link has changed.

nicEventsMCastListUpdated

The number of times the NIC generated an event to report the addition or deletion of a multicast MAC address.

Interface Statistics

These are the MIB statistics collected by the card as documented in RFC1066.
