9-6 CHAPTER 9: STATUS MONITORING AND STATISTICS
Port Errors The Switch 9000 keeps track of errors for each port.
To view port error, type
show port <portlist> errors
The following port error information is collected by the Switch:
Link Status — The current status of the link. Options are:
Ready — The port is ready to accept a link.
Active — The link is present at this port.
Transmit Collisions (TX Coll) — The total number of collisions seen
by the port, regardless of whether a device connected to the port
participated in any of the collisions. This value will always be zero for a
full-duplex device
Transmit Late Collisions (TX Late) — The total number of collisions
that have occurred after the port’s transmit window has expired. This
value will always be zero for a full-duplex device.
Transmit Deferred Frames (TX Def) — The total number of frames
that were transmitted by the port after the first transmission attempt
was deferred by other network traffic.
Transmit Frames Lost (TX Lost) — The total number of frames that
were not completely transmitted by the port.
Transmit Errored Frames (TX Err) — The total number of frames that
were not completely transmitted by the port due to network errors,
such as late collisions or excessive collisions.
Receive Bad CRC Frames (RX CRC) — The total number of frames
received by the port that were of the correct length, but contained a
bad FCS value.
Receive Oversize Frames (RX Over) — The total number of good
frames received by the port that were of longer than the supported
maximum length of 1522 bytes.
Receive Undersize Frames (RX Under) — The total number of
frames received by the port that were less than 64 bytes long.
