Shared Ethernet Adapter statistics
JUMBO_FRAMES
The jumbo frames feature has been enabled on the Shared Ethernet Adapter.
GVRP The GVRP feature has been enabled on the Shared Ethernet Adapter.
VLAN IDs List of VLAN IDs that have access to the network
through the Shared Ethernet Adapter (this includes PVID and all tagged VLANs).
Table 52. Descriptions of Shared Ethernet Adapter statistics (continued)
Statistic Description
Real adapters
Packets received
Number of packets received on the physical network.
Packets bridged
Number of packets received on the physical network that were sent to the virtual network.
Packets consumed
Number of packets received on the physical network that were addressed to the interface configured over the Shared Ethernet Adapter.
Packets fragmented
Number of packets received on the physical network that were fragmented before being sent to the virtual network. They were fragmented because they were bigger than the outgoing adapter’s Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU).
Packets transmitted
Number of packets sent on the physical network. This includes packets sent from the interface configured over the Shared Ethernet Adapter, as well as each packet sent from the virtual network to the physical network (including fragments).
Packets dropped
Number of packets received on the physical network that were dropped for one of the following reasons:
v The packet was the oldest packet on a thread’s queue and there was no space to accommodate a newly received packet.
v The packet had an invalid VLAN ID and could not be processed.
v The packet was addressed to the Shared Ethernet Adapter interface, but its interface had no filters registered.

Statistic Description
Virtual adapters
Packets received
Number of packets received on the virtual network. In other words, the number of packets received on all of the virtual adapters.
Packets bridged
Number of packets received on the virtual network that were sent to the physical network.
Packets consumed
Number of packets received on the virtual network that were addressed to the interface configured over the Shared Ethernet Adapter.
Packets fragmented
Number of packets received on the virtual network that were fragmented before being sent to the physical network. They were fragmented because they were bigger than the outgoing adapter’s MTU.
Packets transmitted
Number of packets sent on the virtual network.
This includes packets sent from the interface configured over the Shared Ethernet Adapter, as well as each packet sent from the physical network to the virtual network (including fragments).
Packets dropped
Number of packets received on the virtual network that were dropped for one of the following reasons:
v The packet was the oldest packet on a thread’s queue and there was no space to accommodate a newly received packet.
v The packet was addressed to the Shared Ethernet Adapter interface, but its interface had no filters registered.
Output packets generated Number of packets with a valid VLAN tag or no VLAN tag sent out of the interface configured over the Shared Ethernet Adapter.
Output packets dropped Number of packets sent out of the interface configured over the Shared Ethernet Adapter that are dropped because of an invalid VLAN tag.
Device output failures Number of packets that could not be sent due to
underlying device errors. This includes errors sent on the physical network and virtual network, including
fragments and Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) error packets generated by the Shared Ethernet Adapter.
Memory allocation failures Number of packets that could not be sent because there was insufficient network memory to complete an operation.
Table 52. Descriptions of Shared Ethernet Adapter statistics (continued)
Statistic Description
ICMP error packets sent Number of ICMP error packets successfully sent when a big packet could not be fragmented because the don’t fragment bit was set.
Non IP packets larger than MTU Number of packets that could not be sent because they were bigger than the outgoing adapter’s MTU and could not be fragmented because they were not IP packets.
Thread queue overflow packets Number of packets that were dropped from the thread queues because there was no space to accommodate a newly received packet.
