info ip

Purpose

Displays statistics relating to Internet Protocol (IP) activity.

Statistics that display are gathered since the statistic tables were last cleared by rebooting the Digi device, and include data, event, and error counts. These statistics are useful in understanding how the device is operating and can be helpful in finding problems. In particular, if an error counter is found to be increasing there may be a problem with the device.

To reset the statistics, reboot the device.

Required permissions

For Digi products with two or more users, set permissions to set permissions display=execute to use this command. See set permissions for details on setting user permissions for commands.

InAddressErrors Number of received datagrams discarded because they were for another host and could not be forwarded.
InHeaderErrors Number of received datagrams discarded because of invalid header information.
InUnknownProtos Number of received datagrams discarded because the specified protocol is not available.
InDiscards Number of received datagrams discarded for miscellaneous reasons.
ReassembleOks Number of received datagrams that were successfully reassembled from fragments.
ReassembleFails Number of received datagrams for which reassemby from fragments failed.
NatPrivateToPublic Number of datagrams received from the private network, successfully translated by NAT, and returned to IP to be forwarded to the public network.
NatPublicToPrivate Number of datagrams received from the public network, successfully translated by NAT, and returned to IP to be forwarded to the private network.
AclExamines Number of received datagrams examined for access control filtering.
AclDiscards Number of received datagrams discarded after being examined by access control filtering.

DatagramsForwarded Number of received datagrams forwarded to another host.
OutNoRoutes Number of received datagrams discarded because no route to the destination IP address could be found.
