Frames Blue, Total Errors Red | Enterasys Networks 6000, Matrix E7

	Managing Ethernet MicroLAN Modules
Frames (Blue)
Frames	The total number of packets (both good and error) processed
	by the selected repeater, board, or port.
Nothing	The Frames scale is not currently measuring any statistics.
Total Errors (Red)
Total Errors	The total number of errors of any kind processed by the
	selected repeater, board, or port.
Collisions	The total number of collisions (combined transmit and receive)
	detected by the selected repeater, board, or port.
CRC Errors	The total number of packets with CRC (Cyclical Redundancy
	Check) errors that the selected repeater, board, or port has
	received from the network.
Runt Packets	The number of runt packets detected by the selected repeater,
	board, or port. A runt frame is one that is less than the
	minimum Ethernet frame size of 64 bytes.
Giant Packets	The number of giant packets detected by the selected repeater,
	board, or port. A giant frame exceeds the maximum Ethernet
	frame size of 1518 bytes (excluding the preamble).
Algn. Errors	The number of misaligned packets detected by the selected
	repeater, board, or port. Misaligned packets are those which
	contain a non-integral number of bytes; they can result from a
	MAC layer packet formation problem, or from a cabling
	problem that is corrupting or losing data. Alignment errors are
	also known as framing errors.
OOW Collns.	The number of collisions out of the standard collision window
	(51.2 µs) experienced by the selected repeater, board, or port.
	There are two conditions which can cause this type of error to
	occur: either the network’s physical length exceeds IEEE 802.3
	specifications, or a node on the net is transmitting without first
	listening for carrier sense (and beginning its illegal
	transmission more than 51.2 µs after the first station began
	transmitting).
Nothing	The Errors scale is not currently monitoring error packets.

NOTE

For more detailed definitions of these statistics and information on the possible network conditions they represent, consult the Enterasys Network Troubleshooting Guide, included with this package.
