Continuing on--from the output from the show interface command,
you can see a great deal of statistical information. You can see that the
counters for the interface have not been cleared since the router booted.
Queuing type for the interface is first-in-first-out (FIFO). You should be
familiar with the next few fields. The input and output queue were discussed
in detail previously. Here, you have statistical information that displays
the number of drops. The interface traffic statistics follow.
Statistical information describes the number of packets that travel across
the interface and the bandwidth utilization. The following fields are dedi-
cated to Ethernet troubleshooting. The cyclic redundancy check fields
counts the number of frames that were received that do not pass the CRC
test. Next are frame errors and overruns. We discussed overruns previ-
ously (they occur when the receiver on the interface receives frames faster
than it can move them to the hardware buffer on the interface). The ignore
signal is sent if there are buffer problems.
Output errors consist of underruns and collisions. The other fields
are counters for the physical interface: resets, lost carrier, and no
carrier
. These are followed by more buffer error counters.
