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.

Select the required stack unit, and port or module. 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

The number of successfully transmitted frames for which

 

Frames*

transmission is inhibited by exactly one collision.

 

Multiple Collision

A count of successfully transmitted frames for which transmission

 

Frames*

is inhibited by more that one collision.

 

SQE Test Errors*

A count of times that the SQE TEST ERROR message is

 

 

generated by the PLS sublayer.

 

Deferred

A count of frames for which the first transmission attempt on a

 

Transmissions*

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 Collisions*

The number of frames for which transmission failed due to

 

 

excessive collisions.
