The Gator Module View
Out Errors Outbound packets that could not be transmitted by the
device interface because they contained errors.
Load
The number of bytes processed by the indicated interface during the last poll
interval in comparison to the theoretical maximum load for that interface type
(10 Mbps for standard Ethernet). Load is further defined by the following
parameters:
In Octets The number of bytes received by this interface, expressed
as a percentage of the theoretical maximum load.
Out Octets The number of bytes transmitted by this interface,
expressed as a percentage of the theoretical maximum
load.
When you select this option, a Bar Graph field will be added to the interface
display area; this field is only available when Load is the selected base unit.
Rate
The count for the selected statistic during the last poll interval. The available
parameters are the same as those provided for Raw Counts. Refer to the Raw
Counts section, page 2-10, for a complete description of each parameter.
Viewing Interface Detail
The I/F Statistics window provides detailed statistical information — counts for
both transmit and receive packets, and error and buffering information — for
each individual interface. Color-coded pie charts also let you graphically view
statistics for both received and transmitted Unicast, Multicast, Discarded, and
Error packets.
To open the Interface Statistics window:
1. In the I/F Summary window, click to select the interface for which you would
like to view more detailed statistics.
2. Click Detail. The appropriate I/F Statistics window, Figure 2-9, opens.
