View IPv4 statistics.

Use

To see IP traffic counters. These counters are helpful for network troubleshooting. In general, if a counter increases at an unusual rate, you should determine why. Some increases may reflect hacking attempts. Below are a few key counters and their descriptions:

  • IP statistics
    • Rcvd
      • First line (totals and local destinations)–Normal to have very high numbers.
      • All other counters–If a counter increases at an unusual rate, you should determine why. Some increases may reflect hacking attempts.
    • Frags
      • reassembled, fragmented, fragments–Normal to see these increase at a high rate.
      • timeouts–Normal to increase, but not as rapidly as the counters mentioned above.
    • Sent
      • First line (generated and forwarded)–Normal to have very high numbers.
      • no route–Indicates a configuration problem with the system or with a gateway. The system does not have a route for a destination. Check the system default route.
      • insufficient buffers–If this increases at an unusual rate, the system is overloaded.
  • ICMP statistics
    • Rcvd
      • unreachable–Normal to have a high number. The system receives unreachable errors when the system tries to send a large packet to a client or real server and a gateway cannot accept a packet that large or when the real server does not have the correct port set to accept connections.
      • echo and echor reply–Reflect ping commands. If this number increases at an unusual rate, it could be mean someone is trying to hack the system.
    • Sent
      • echo and echo reply–Reflect ping commands.
