To display traffic information for an EtherChanneled port, select EtherChannel from the Monitor Port dialog box. The following information is displayed:

Utilization %

Level of utilization on the port. The current value represents the utilization levels over the last polling period. The utilization percentage is calculated using the following formula:

800 * ( $ifInOctets + $ifOutOctets ) / $ifSpeed

Unicasts (ifInUcastPkts + ifOutUcastPkts)

Pattern and current number of Unicast packets received and sent.

Broadcasts (ifExtnsBroadcastsTransmittedOks + ifExtnsBroadcastsReceivedOks)

Total of the number of frames successfully transmitted to a subnetwork or link-layer broadcast address and broadcast frames successfully received.

Multicasts (ifExtnsMulticastsTransmittedOks + ifExtnsMulticastsReceivedOks)

Total number of frames successfully transmitted to a subnetwork or link-layer multicast address and successfully received multicast frames.

Errors (ifInErrors + ifOutErrors)

Number of total errors for the port. The value is the total of inbound and outbound packets discarded because they contained errors.

Discards (ifInDiscards + ifOutDiscards + ifInUnknownProtos)

Total number of discards for the port. The value is the total number of inbound and outbound packets discarded because they contained errors and the number of inbound packets discarded because they were directed to an unknown or unsupported protocol.
