    Hello Victor,

     

    RPORTD is incremented when a port’s spanning tree state is not in the forwarding state, while RDISC is incremented for packets discarded due to ingress  buffer availability.  This doesnt necessarily mean TMM traffic.  

     

    BPDU packets coming from a switch which will register this counter and increment the counters.rx_portd_rdisc.. this can likely be determined by run tcpdump on the interface.  Please take all ***precautions*** when running tcpdump
