Table 12 Port Statistics Summary Page - Field Description (continued)

Field

Description

 

 

Broadcast Output

The total number of packets that higher-level protocols

 

requested be transmitted, and which were addressed to

 

a broadcast address at this sub-layer, including those

 

that were discarded or not sent.

Alignment Errors

The number of alignment errors (mis-synchronized data

 

packets).

FCS Errors

A count of frames received on a particular interface that

 

are an integral number of octets in length but do not

 

pass the FCS check. This count does not include frames

 

received with frame-too-long or frame-too-short error.

Single Collision Frames

The number of successfully transmitted frames for which

 

transmission is inhibited by exactly one collision.

Multiple Collision Frames

A count of successfully transmitted frames for which

 

transmission is inhibited by more than one collision.

SQE Test Errors

A count of times that the SQE TEST ERROR message is

 

generated by the PLS sublayer for a particular interface.

Deferred Transmissions

A count of frames for which the first transmission

 

attempt on a particular interface is delayed because the

 

medium was busy.

Late Collisions

The number of times that a collision is detected later

 

than 512 bit-times into the transmission of a packet.

Excessive Collisions

A count of frames for which transmission on a particular

 

interface fails due to excessive collisions. This counter

 

does not increment when the interface is operating in

 

full-duplex mode.

Internal Mac Transmit

A count of frames for which transmission on a particular

Errors

interface fails due to an internal MAC sublayer transmit

 

error.

Internal Mac Receive

A count of frames for which reception on a particular

Errors

interface fails due to an internal MAC sublayer receive

 

error.

Frames Too Long

A count of frames received on a particular interface that

 

exceed the maximum permitted frame size.

Carrier Sense Errors

The number of times that the carrier sense condition

 

was lost or never asserted when attempting to transmit

 

a frame.
