minFrameSize and less than or equal to maxFrameSize (Ref: 4.4.2.1, IEEE 802.3 Std).

The approximate minimum time for rollover of this counter is 80 hours." Reference: IEEE 802.3 Rptr Mgt, 19.2.6.2, aFrameCheckSequenceErrors

Alignment Errors

"This counter is incremented by one for each frame received on this port with the FCSError and FramingError signals asserted and CollisionEvent signal deasserted and whose OctetCount is greater than or equal to minFrameSize and less than or equal to maxFrameSize (Ref: IEEE 802.3 Std, 4.4.2.1). If rptrMonitorPortAlignmentErrors is incremented then the rptrMonitorPortFCSErrors Counter shall not be incremented for the same frame.

The approximate minimum time for rollover of this counter is 80 hours." Reference: IEEE 802.3 Rptr Mgt, 19.2.6.2, aAlignmentErrors

Frame Too Longs

"This counter is incremented by one for each frame received on this port whose OctetCount is greater than maxFrameSize (Ref: 4.4.2.1, IEEE 802.3 Std). If rptrMonitorPortFrameTooLongs is incremented then neither the rptrMonitorPortAlignmentErrors nor the rptrMonitorPortFCSErrors counter shall be incremented for the frame.

The approximate minimum time for rollover of this counter is 61 days." Reference: IEEE 802.3 Rptr Mgt, 19.2.6.2, aFramesTooLong

Short Events

"This counter is incremented by one for each CarrierEvent on this port with ActivityDuration less than ShortEventMaxTime. ShortEventMaxTime is greater than 74 bit times and less than 82 bit times. ShortEventMaxTime has tolerances included to provide for circuit losses between a conformance test point at the AUI and the measurement point within the state machine.

Note: shortEvents may indicate externally generated noise hits which will cause the repeater to transmit Runts to its other ports, or propagate a collision (which may be late) back to the transmitting DTE and damaged frames to the rest of the network.
