Interfaces

To view statistics for an interface in the GUI, select the System configuration tab and then click on the arrow (4) beside Network to expand the branch. Select Interface and then click on a port on the FortiADC port display on the right to display statistics.

Full

If you select this option the load balancer will attempt to auto negotiate the highest available speed with the unit on the other end of the connection.

Duplex Mode

If the port status is Link Up, this is the current port duplex setting. If the status is Link Down, this is either the highest duplex that can be negotiated, or the force setting. Can be set to Full or Half.

Speed

If the Port Status is Link Up, this is the current port speed. If the Port Status is Link Down, this is the highest speed that can be negotiated, or the force setting. Can be set to 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps.

 

Note: The following 10Gb SFPs (Small Form-factor Pluggable modules) are supported

(FortiADC 600E and 1000E only)

10GbaseLR - single-mode fiber
10GBase-SR 850nm Multi-mode
10GBase CX4 copper
10GBase Twinax copper
10GBase Twinax Long copper
10GBase-LRM 850nm Multi-mode
10GBase-T - RJ45

If you would like to display statistics using the CLI,enter the following:

eqcli > interface interface-name stats

The tables below show a typical port statistics displays.

Transmitted Counters

Packets

The total number of transmitted packets on this interface.

bytes

The total number of bytes transmitted on this interface

multicasts

The total number of good broadcast/multicast (e.g., ARP) packets transmitted by this interface.

errors

The total number of bad packets transmitted by this interface.

collisions

The total number of packets that were dropped (e.g., lack of transmit buffer , collision detection). These packets are not transmitted by the interface.

Received Counters

Packets

The total number of packets received on this interface.

bytes

The total number of bytes received on this interface.

multicasts

The total number of good broadcast/multicast (e.g., ARP) packets received on this interface.

errors

The total number of bad packets (e.g., CRC errors,, alignment errors) received on this interface.

drops

The total number of packets that were dropped (e.g., lack of receive buffer, congestion, invalid classification, e.g., tagged frame received on untagged port) by the receiving interface.

unknown protocol

Tot total number of packets received on this interface that used an unknown protocol.
