CheetahSwitch Workgroup-4508

Displaying Port Statistics

Port Statistics display key statistics from the Ethernet-like MIB for each port. Error statistics on the traffic passing through each port are displayed. This information can be used to identify potential problems with the switch (such as a faulty port or unusually heavy loading). The values displayed have been accumulated since the last system reboot.

The statistics displayed are indicated in the following figure and table.

Parameter

Description

Alignment Errors

For 10 Mbps ports, this counter records alignment errors (mis-

 

synchronized data packets). For 100 Mbps ports, this counter

 

records the sum of alignment errors and code errors (frames

 

received with rxerror signal).

FCS Errors

The number of frames received that are an integral number of octets

 

in length but do not pass the FCS check.

Single Collision Frames1

The number of successfully transmitted frames for which

 

transmission is inhibited by exactly one collision.

Multiple Collision Frames1

A count of successfully transmitted frames for which transmission is

 

inhibited by more that one collision.

SQE Test Errors1

A count of times that the SQE TEST ERROR message is generated

 

by the PLS sublayer.

Deferred Transmissions1

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 Collisions1

The number of frames for which transmission failed due to excessive

 

collisions.

Internal Mac Transmit Errors1

The number of frames for which transmission failed due to an

 

internal MAC sublayer transmit error.
