Table 4-4. SHOW COUNTER PORTS Command Attributes
Attribute | Description |
|
|
Excessive Collisions | Number of packets the bridge discarded |
| because it could not transmit onto the |
| Ethernet without seeing a collision 16 |
| times in a row. |
|
|
Received Framing Error | Number of Ethernet packets received |
| without proper framing. |
|
|
Received Frame Check (FCS) | Number of Ethernet packets received |
Error | with bad FCS (Frame Check Sequence) — |
| usually these and framing errors are seen |
| together. |
|
|
Received Overflows | This can occur when packets arrive from |
| one port faster than they can be output |
| on the other port. As network size |
| increases, the likelihood of these errors |
| increases. They are not fatal errors. |
|
|
Received Buffer Error | This error occurs on the receive end |
| when the Ethernet chip wants to chain |
| data buffers and does not own the next |
| buffer. |
|
|
Babble Failures | Number of times the bridge told the |
| Ethernet chip to send out an illegally long |
| Ethernet packet. |
|
|
Receiver Missed Frames | Number of times the receiver missed a |
| frame. This can occur when packets |
| arrive from one port faster than they can |
| be output on the other port. As network |
| size increases, the likelihood of these |
| errors increases. They are not fatal |
| errors. |
