Last Error Type
The last type of Frame Relay DLCMI protocol error received on this port. The following list
describes the error types displayed:
Unknown Error An error occurred but it can not be classified into one of the stan-
dard Frame Relay error types.
Receive Short The receive frame was not long enough to allow demultiplexing.
The address field was incomplete, or the protocol identifier was
missing or incomplete.
Receive Long The receive frame exceeded the maximum length for this port.
Illegal Dlci The DLCI address field in a frame did not match the configured
format.
Unknown Dlci A frame was received on a virtual circuit that was not active or was
administratively disabled.
Dlcmi Protocol Error An Unspecified error occurred while trying to interpret the Link
Maintenance frame.
Dlcmi Unknown IE DLCMI Unknown Information Element. The Link Maintenance frame
contained an Information Element type that is not valid for the
configured DLCMI protocol.
Dlcmi Sequence Error The Link Maintenance frame contained a sequence flag that was
different than the expected flag.
Dlcmi Unknown RPT DLCMI Unknown Report Type. The Link Maintenance frame
contained a Report Type Information Element with a value that is
not valid for the configured DLCMI protocol.
No Error Since Reset No error has occurred since the last time this port was initialized.
Last Error Time
The time since the last Frame Relay protocol error was received. A value of zero (0) indi-
cates no Frame Relay protocol errors have been received. The type of error that was last
received is indicated in the Last Error Type field.
Interface Failures
The number of times this Frame Relay port has gone down since it was initialized.
Last Interface Failure Time
The time since the interface was taken down due to excessive errors. Excessive errors are
defined as the time when a DLCMI error exceeds the Error Threshold or the errors within
the Monitored Events Counter. A value of zero (0) indicates the interface has not been taken
down due to excessive errors. These error parameters are configured through frmodify and
in most cases should be set to defaults. See Setting Configuration Parameters on page 29-
22 for more information.
