PAgP Statistics

Port > Monitor > PagP Statistics

Use this option to display the PAgP-related statistics for a selected port.

The following list specifies buttons in this dialog box, as well as their function:

Note: The Start/Stop toggle feature is supported only by CiscoView 5.x.


Packets Received (pagpInPackets)

The number of PAgP information packets received on this interface.


Packets Sent (pagpOutPackets)

The number of PAgP information packets transmitted on this interface


Flush Packets Received (pagpInFlushes)

The number of PAgP flush packets received and echoed on this interface not matching any pagpDeviceId object belonging to the managed device. This object counts PagP flush packets originated by another device, and indicates that the other device implements the PagP flush feature and uses that feature to prevent mis-ordering of data frames within an ordered stream.


Flush Packets Sent (pagpOutFlushes)

The number of PAgP flush packets generated on this interface. This object does not count PagP flush packets counted in pagpInFlushes and returned to the sender. If pagpOutFlushes is counting, and pagpReturnedFlushes is not, the other device may not be returning PagP flush packets.


Flush Packets Returned (pagpReturnedFlushes)

The number of PAgP flush packets received on this interface matching some pagpDeviceId belonging to this device. This object counts PagP flush packets that were originated by the managed device and returned to it by another device. The counting of returned flush packets indicates that the managed device is implementing the PAgP flush protocol and the other device is correctly returning PAgP flush protocol packets.


Error Packets Received (pagpInErrors)

The number of packets received on this interface identified by encapsulation as PagP packets (of any type, for example: information or flush), but which were not valid packets because of length, version, number of TLVs (the packet’s tag, length, and value), or an illegal value in an enumerated field.
