The meaning:

STATE

The overall state of the port:

DOWN - port is passive, error during the INIT or WORK.
READY - port is active.
TX-DISABLED - transmitter disabled because of JABBER error.
HALTED - was halted because of serious error.
FAILED - initialisation (or re-init, if supported) failed.
NEGOTIATING - driver performs the autonegotiation.

CARD

The card type handled by the driver.

CUR-MAC-ADDR

The MAC address currently used by driver and hardware.

	Tip
	Interesting chapter: Section 80.6, “How to change the MAC address of the Ethernet or EthernetUSB interface”.

FACTORY-MAC-ADDR

The MAC address of the card loaded from the HW.

MODE

The mode negotiation state. FIX means forced by configuration negotiation, AUT - auto negotiation.

UNKNOWN - mode of the port isn't known, typically reported in NEGOTIATING state.
N/A - speed is not applicable - specific for virtual Ethernet (VETH) port.
10TP - speed is 10 Mbps.
100TX - speed is 100 Mbps.
1000 - speed is 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps).

DUPLEX

The current duplex mode of the port.. FIX means forced by configuration negotiation, AUT - auto negotiation.

UNKNOWN - isn't known, typically reported in NEGOTIATING state.
N/A - not applicable - specific for virtual Ethernet (VETH) port.
HALF - HALF-DUPLEX mode.
FULL - FULL-DUPLEX mode.

DMA-RXBUF

This diagnostic where introduced with Broadcom driver which provides possibility to configure just limited values for DMA buffers which are 32, 64, 128, 256 and 512. Therefore the value configured in D P ETH is adapted to nearest higher possible value (on Broadcom only) and this value is displayed in diagnostic.

DMA-TXBUF

VLAN-SUPPORT

Indicates whether it supports VLAN or not.

	Tip
	Interesting chapter: Section 80.5, “How to assign a VLAN for Ethernet interface”.

CUR-MAX-VLANS

Configured value of max-vlans.

CUR-VLANS

Current VLANs in use.

UNTAG

OPENED - untagged traffic is opened to pass through Ethernet.

VLAN-ID

Throughput on VLAN identifier:

ALL - all throughput.
1..4094 - throughput in specified VLAN.
UNTAG - untagged throughput.

IP-Mcast

The state of IP multicast support.

5sec-In/Out

Last 5 seconds transmited/received throughput.

5min-In/Out

Last 5 minutes transmited/received throughput.

With reference to the shown interval of time («Cleared 4 days 05:09:04 ago») these counters show the number of:

`FRM`	Successfully transmitted/received frames.
`CHAR`	Incoming/outgoing characters (bytes).
`BROADCAST`	Incoming/outgoing broadcast frames.
`MULTICAST`	Incoming/outgoing multicast frames.
`NOBUF`	Incoming frames discarded because there wasn't enough space inside the RX fifo.
`FCS`	Incoming frames with bad CRC.
`LOST-IP`	Frames discarded because Rx IP fifo is full.
`LOST-ARP`	Frames discarded because Rx ARP fifo is full.
`LOST-PPPOES`	Frames discarded because Rx PPPOE-DISC fifo is full.
`LOST-PPPOED`	Frames discarded because Rx PPPOE-SESS fifo is full.
`LINK-FAIL`	Link failures.
`COLLISION`	Collisions.
`RX-OVR`	Received FIFO overflows.
`TX-UND`	TX underrun.
`FRM-DROP`	Dropped incoming frames.
`FRM-UNKPRT`	Discarded frames because of unknown protocol. Frames different from IP/ARP/PPPOED/PPPOES.
`CHAR-DROP`	Dropped incoming characters.
`CHAR-UNKPRT`	Discarded characters because of unknown protocol. Characters different from IP/ARP/PPPOED/PPPOES.
`UNK-VLAN-ID`	Frames with unknown VLAN-ID.
`ETH-DOWN`	How many times Ethernet port went DOWN.
`ETH-NEG`	How many times Ethernet port went NEGOTIATING state.
`ETH-READY`	How many times Ethernet port went READY.
`N-COLLISION`	Normal collisions.
`L-COLLISION`	Late collisions.
`E-COLLISION`	16times repetitive collisions.
`SHORT`	Too short incoming/outgoing frames.
`LONG`	Too long incoming/outgoing frames.
`TBE`	Transmit buffer unavailable events. Detected by the chip when it tries to read another TX/RX DMA buffer to send/receive it but it is not available. This is not error. It means only that the upper layer doesn't provide any data.
`QED`	Transmit buffer unavailable events. This is detected by the driver when the TX data are delivered from the upper layer and there is no space in TX DMA FIFO, therefore the NCB_SEND has to be stored into the queue to wait for the empty TX DMA buffer.
`ABORT`	Aborted frames - specific statistic for RealTek.
`CARR`	Carrier loss.
`DEFERRED`	Deferred frames.
`ALIGN`	Incoming frames not aligned.
`NEG-FAIL`	Failed negotiation attempts.
`HB-FAIL`	Heartbeat fails.
`RUNT`	RUNT frame.
`WDG-TOUT`	Watchdog timeouts.
`AUTO-INIT`	Performed AUTO initialisations. Currently it is performed on REALTEK (RTL8139D chip) when serious troubles in RX ring buffer is detected and no RX traffic is there during given timeout (4 minutes).
`DSC-ERR`	Descriptor errors.
`MII-ERR`	MII errors.

	Note
If the `LOST-IP` increase, the queue for the `ip-rxbuf` parameter runs out. If the `LOST-ARP` increase, the queue for the `arp-rxbuf` parameter runs out. If the `LOST-PPPOES` increase, the queue for the `pppoes-rxbuf` parameter runs out. If the `LOST-PPPOED` increase, the queue for the `pppoed-rxbuf` parameter runs out. Consult Abilis support (tem@antek.it) if you are troubles with Ethernet card, and you see incrementation of these counters, excluding: `FRM`, `CHAR`, `BROADCAST` and `MULTICAST`.
