Table 48 Ethernet statistics for port
Statistics Description
dot3StatsInternalMacReceiveErrors A count of frames for which reception on a particular interface
fails due to an internal MAC sublayer receive error.
A frame is only counted by an instance of this object if it is not
counted by the corresponding instance of the
dot3StatsFrameTooLongs object, the dot3StatsAlignmentErrors
object, or the dot3StatsFCSErrors object.
The precise meaning of the count represented by an instance of
this object is implementation specific. In particular, an instance of
this object may represent a count of received errors on a particular
interface that are not otherwise counted.

Table 49 Interface statistics for port
Statistics Description
Octets—IfHCIn The total number of octets received on the interface, including framing characters.
UcastPkts—IfHCIn The number of packets, delivered by this sublayer to a higher sublayer, which were not
addressed to a multicast or broadcast address at this sublayer.
BroadcastPkts—IfHCIn The number of packets, delivered by this sublayer to a higher sublayer, which were
addressed to a broadcast address at this sublayer.
MulticastPkts—IfHCIn The total number of packets, delivered by this sublayer. These are the packets that
higher-level protocols requested to be transmitted, and which were addressed to a
multicast address at this sublayer, including those that were discarded or not sent.
For a MAC layer protocol, this includes both group and functional addresses.
Discards—IfHCIn The number of inbound packets which were chosen to be discarded even though no
errors were detected to prevent their being delivered to a higher-layer protocol. One
possible reason for discarding such a packet could be to free up buffer space.
Errors—IfHCIn For packet-oriented interfaces, the number of inbound packets that contained errors
preventing them from being delivered to a higher-layer protocol.
For character-oriented or fixed-length interfaces, the number of inbound transmission
units that contained errors preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer
protocol.
Octets—IfHCOut The total number of octets transmitted out of the interface, including framing characters.
UcastPkts—IfHCOut The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested to be transmitted, and
which were not addressed to a multicast or broadcast address at this sublayer,
including those that were discarded or not sent.
BroadcastPkts—IfHCOut The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested to be transmitted, and
which were addressed to a broadcast address at this sublayer, including those that
were discarded or not sent. This object is a 64-bit version of ifOutBroadcastPkts.
