Loopback status: Enabled or Disabled. If loopback is enabled, type of loopback: Local or Remote.

All levels

Source filtering

Source filtering status: Enabled or Disabled.

All levels

Flow control

Flow control status: Enabled or Disabled.

All levels

Minimum links needed

Number of child links that must be operational for the aggregate interface to be operational.

All levels

Device flags

Information about the physical device. Possible values are described in the “Device Flags” section under Common Output Fields Description.

All levels

Interface flags

Information about the interface. Possible values are described in the “Interfaces Flags” section under Common Output Fields Description.

All levels

Current address

Configured MAC address.

detail extensive

Hardware address

Hardware MAC address.

detail extensive

Last flapped

Date, time, and how long ago the interface went from down to up or from up to down. The format is Last flapped: year-month-day hours:minutes:seconds timezone (hours:minutes:seconds ago). For example, Last flapped: 2002-04-26 10:52:40 PDT (04:33:20 ago).

detail extensive

Input Rate

Input rate in bits per second (bps) and packets per second (pps).

None specified

Output Rate

Output rate in bps and pps.

None specified

Statistics last cleared

Time when the statistics for the interface were last set to zero.

detail extensive

Traffic statistics

Number of and rate at which bytes and packets are received and transmitted on the physical interface.

  • Input bytes—Number of bytes and rate, in bps, at which bytes are received on the interface.
  • Output bytes—Number of bytes and rate, in bps, at which bytes are transmitted on the interface.
  • Input packets—Number of packets and rate, in pps, at which packets are received on the interface.
  • Output packets—Number of packets and rate, in pps, at which packets are transmitted on the interface.

detail extensive

Input errors

Input errors on the interface:

  • Errors—Sum of incoming frame aborts and frame check sequence (FCS) errors.
  • Drops—Number of packets dropped by the input queue of the I/O Manager ASIC. If the interface is saturated, this number increments once for every packet that is dropped by the ASIC's random early detection (RED) mechanism.
  • Framing errors—Number of packets received with an invalid FCS.
  • Runts—Number of frames received that are smaller than the runt threshold.
  • Giants—Number of frames received that are larger than the giant threshold.
  • Policed discards—Number of frames that the incoming packet match code discarded because they were not recognized or were not of interest. Usually, this field reports protocols that Junos OS does not handle.
  • Resource errors—Sum of transmit drops.

detail extensive

Output errors

Output errors on the interface:

  • Carrier transitions —Number of times the interface has gone from down to up. This number does not normally increment quickly, increasing only when the cable is unplugged, the far-end system is powered down and then up, or another problem occurs. If the number of carrier transitions increments quickly (perhaps once every 10 seconds), then the cable, the far-end system, or the PIC is malfunctioning.
  • Errors—Sum of the outgoing frame aborts and FCS errors.
  • Drops—Number of packets dropped by the output queue of the I/O Manager ASIC. If the interface is saturated, this number increments once for every packet that is dropped by the ASIC's RED mechanism.
  • MTU errors—Number of packets whose size exceeded the MTU of the interface.
  • Resource errors—Sum of transmit drops.

detail extensive

IPv6 transit statistics

Number of IPv6 transit bytes and packets received and transmitted on the physical interface if IPv6 statistics tracking is enabled.

  • Input bytes—Number of bytes received on the interface.
  • Output bytes—Number of bytes transmitted on the interface.
  • Input packets—Number of packets received on the interface.
  • Output packets—Number of packets transmitted on the interface.

detail extensive

Queue counters

CoS queue number and its associated user-configured forwarding class name.

  • Queued packets—Number of queued packets.
  • Transmitted packets—Number of transmitted packets.
  • Dropped packets—Number of packets dropped by the ASIC's RED mechanism.

    • Resp Tx—Number of marker response PDUs transmitted on this aggregation port.
    • Unknown Rx—Number of frames received that either carry the slow protocols Ethernet type value (43B.4) but contain an unknown PDU, or are addressed to the slow protocols group MAC address (43B.3) but do not carry the slow protocols Ethernet type.
    • Illegal Rx—Number of frames received that carry the slow protocols Ethernet type value (43B.4) but contain a badly formed PDU or an illegal value of protocol subtype (43B.4).
