
In Discards - The number of inbound packets discarded even though no errors had been
detected to prevent their delivery to a higher-layer protocol. One possible reason for discarding
such a packet could be to free up buffer space.

In Errors - For packet-oriented interfaces, the number of inbound packets that contained
errors preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol.

In Unknown Protos - For packet-oriented interfaces, the number of packets received via the
interface which were discarded because of an unknown or unsupported protocol.

Out Octets - The total number of octets transmitted out of the interface, including framing
characters.

Out Unicast Pkts - The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested be
transmitted, and which were not addressed to a multicast or broadcast address at this sub-layer,
including those that were discarded or not sent.

Out Broadcast Pkts - The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested be
transmitted, and which were addressed to a broadcast address at this sub-layer, including those
that were discarded or not sent.

Out Multicast Pkts - The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested be
transmitted, and which were addressed to a multicast address at this sub-layer, including those
that were discarded or not sent.

Out Discards - The number of outbound packets discarded even though no errors had been
detected to prevent their transmission.

Out Errors - For packet-oriented interfaces, the number of outbound packets that could not be
transmitted because of errors.
Scroll down and click on to view information on IPv4 and IPv6 (not currently supported) information:
IPv4 - Specific information:

Address - The list of IPv4 addresses on the interface

Neighbor- A list of mappings from IPv4 addresses to link-layer addresses. This list represents
the ARP cache.
From the CLI in operational mode, the command below may be issued to view the state and statistics of
all the network interfaces. The result of this command is very verbose and includes status and statistics for
all the defined interfaces. For the sake of brevity, only the bridge interface status information is shown
below (similar information will be shown for each defined interface):
