DSL-statistics

The DSL statistics provide information on connections via the 10Base-T WAN port (generally referred to as the DSL port on the device).

The table columns have the following meaning:

/DSL-statistics Running status displays
DSL-Rx-packets Number of data packets received
DSL-Tx-packets Number of data packets sent
DSL-Rx-errors Number of recognized receive errors
DSL-Tx-errors Number of recognized transmit errors
DSL-Rx-no-connection Number of packets received without a connection. These packets were discarded.
DSL-NIC-errors Number of internal errors of the DSL Ethernet controller, for example due to the reception of a damaged packet
DSL-queue-packets Number of packets in the DSL send queue still to be sent
DSL-queue-errors Number of packets received for which no receive buffer was available. These packets were discarded.
DSL-Rx-bytes Number of bytes received
DSL-Tx-bytes Number of bytes sent
DSL-Rx-unicasts Number of packets sent specifically to the device. This value must be identical to the value of DSL Rx packets. Otherwise broadcast or multicast packets were received that were discarded immediately.
DSL-Tx-broadcasts Number of broadcasts sent Broadcasts are only sent during connection establishment.
DSL-Tx-unicasts Number of packets sent specifically to the AC
Link-active This value indicates whether the DSL connection is active, i.e. whether the device is connected to the ADSL modem. A connection can only be established if this value is set to 'Yes'. Otherwise, an error message will be returned for the connection attempt.
PPPoE-statistics PPPoE statistics
Delete-values Resets all counters in the DSL statistics

The Layer-2 PPPoE packets are also counted in the statistics for transferred bytes and packets.

Note: Not only DSL modems, but also other devices with 10Base-T interfaces such as cable modems can be connected to the DSL interface. The DSL statistics apply for all connections via the so-called DSL port, regardless of the technology actually used.
