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 port. The statistics displayed are indicated in the following figure and table.

Parameter		Description
Alignment Errors		The number of frames received that are not an integral number of
		octets in length and do not pass the FCS check.
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.
Internal Mac		The number of frames for which transmission failed due to an
Transmit Errors*		internal MAC sublayer transmit error.
