The Device Statistics Screen

The following sections describe Device Statistics screen fields:

BYTES RECEIVED

Displays the number of bytes received.

FRAMES RECEIVED

Displays the number of frames received.

ERRORS RECEIVED

Displays the number of errors received.

COLLISIONS

Displays the number of collisions received.

OOW COLLISIONS

Displays the number of Out Of Window collisions. OOW collisions are usually caused by the network being too long where the round trip propagation delay is greater than 51.2 s (the collision domain is too large), a station somewhere on the network is violating Carrier Sense and transmitting at will, or a cable somewhere on the network failed during the transmission of the packet.

CRC ERRORS

Displays the number of packets with bad Cyclic Redundancy Checks (CRC) that have been received from the network. The CRC is a 4-byte field in the data packet that ensures that the transmitted data that is received is the same as the data that was originally sent.

ALIGNMENT ERRORS

Displays the number of errors due to misaligned packets.

RUNT PACKETS

Displays the number of runt packets received from the network. A runt packet is less than the minimum Ethernet frame size of 64 bytes, not including preamble.

GIANT PACKETS

Displays the number of packets received whose size exceeded 1518 data bytes, not including preamble.
