Table Organization
Each of the following tables details the statistics available for that set of cards. Available statistics are controlled by three sets of controls.
IxExplorer
Statistics Modes
From the IxExplorer pane, select a port and select Filter, Statistics, Receive Mode from the right-hand pane. Select the tab at the top labelled Statistics. This is shown here for a Gigabit module with the statistics modes highlighted. The choices here are mutually exclusive. In most cases, when one is selected new statistics are available at the expense of others.

Extra Statistics Check Boxes
Additional statistics are selected through a set of check boxes located on the same Statistics tab, in the Additional Statistics section. These statistics are always in addition to those in the Statistics Mode section.
Receive Mode
From the IxExplorer pane, select a port and select Filter, Statistics, Receive Mode from the right-hand pane. Select the tab at the top labelled Receive Mode. This is shown here for a 10GE LAN module. The check boxes generally result in additional statistics.

Key to Tables
The following table lists the headings that appear in the tables in this appendix and their correspondence to IxExplorer dialogs and selections.
TCL Development
Statistics Mode
The statistics mode is controlled by the use of the Tcl stat mode command. The following table lists the available choices and their correspondence to IxExplorer choice.
Option | IxExplorer Choice |
---|---|
statNormal (0) (default) |
Normal |
statQos (1) |
Quality of Service |
statStreamTrigger (2) |
User Defined Statistics 5 and 6 |
statModeChecksumErrors (3) |
IP/TC@/UDP Checksum Verification |
statModeDataIntegrity (4) |
Data Integrity |
Access to Statistics
Most statistics are accessed through the use of stat command. VSR statistics are access through the use of the vsrStat command.
Receive Mode
The receive mode is controlled through the use of the port receiveMode option. The choices available are or'd together and list the bits available to control the receive mode.
