Ethernet MAC statistics
Provides statistics for the media access control (MAC). MAC also provides an addressing mechanism called the physical address or the MAC address. The MAC address is a unique address that is assigned to each network adapter. The MAC address helps deliver data packets to a destination within the subnetwork.

Ethernet TCP/IP statistics
Provides statistics for the TCP/IP, which is the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and Internet Protocol (IP) for the iSCSI device. With TCP, applications on networked hosts can create connections to one another, over which they can exchange data in packets. The IP is a data-oriented protocol that communicates data across a packet-switched inter-network. The IPv4 statistics and the IPv6 statistics are shown separately.

Ethernet Kernel statistics
Provides statistics for the platform kernel drivers of the iSCSI device. The kernel statistics displays similar network data as the TCP/IP statistics option. However, the kernel statistics data is collected from the platform kernel drivers instead of directly from the iSCSI hardware.

Local Target/Initiator (Protocol) statistics
Shows statistics for the iSCSI target, which provides block level access to its storage media, and shows the iSCSI statistics for the storage system when used as an initiator in asynchronous mirroring operations.

DCBX Operational States statistics
Displays the operational states of the various Data Center Bridging Exchange (DCBX) features.

LLDP TLV statistics
Displays the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) Type Length Value (TLV) statistics.

DCBX TLV statistics
Displays the information that identifies the storage system host ports in a Data Center Bridging (DCB) environment. This information is shared with network peers for identification and capability purposes.
