Table 39 Ethernet Errors tab fields

Field	Description
AlignmentErrors	A count of frames received on a particular MLT that are not an
	integral number of octets in length and do not pass the FCS
	check. The count represented by an instance of this object is
	incremented when the alignmentError status is returned by the
	MAC service to the LLC (or other MAC user). Received frames
	for which multiple error conditions occur are, according to the
	conventions of IEEE 802.3 Layer Management, counted
	exclusively according to the error status presented to the LLC.
FCSErrors	A count of frames received on an MLT that are an integral
	number of octets in length but do not pass the FCS check. The
	count represented by an instance of this object is incremented
	when the frameCheckError status is returned by the MAC
	service to the LLC (or other MAC user). Received frames for
	which multiple error conditions occur are, according to the
	conventions of IEEE 802.3 Layer Management, counted
	exclusively according to the error status presented to the LLC.
IMacTransmitError	A count of frames for which transmission on a particular MLT
	fails due to an internal MAC sublayer transmit error. A frame is
	only counted by an instance of this object if it is not counted by
	the corresponding instance of either the LateCollisions object,
	the ExcessiveCollisions object, or the CarrierSenseErrors
	object.
IMacReceiveError	A count of frames for which reception on a particular MLT fails
	due to an internal MAC sublayer receive error. A frame is only
	counted by an instance of this object if it is not counted by the
	corresponding instance of either the FrameTooLongs object,
	the AlignmentErrors object, or the FCSErrors object.
	The precise meaning of the count represented by an instance
	of this object is implementation specific. In particular, an
	instance of this object may represent a count of receive errors
	on a particular interface that are not otherwise counted.
CarrierSenseErrors	The number of times that the carrier sense condition was lost or
	never asserted when attempting to transmit a frame on a
	particular MLT. The count represented by an instance of this
	object is incremented at most once per transmission attempt,
	even if the carrier sense condition fluctuates during a
	transmission attempt.
