Statistic

What It Indicates

 

 

Frame Relay Errors (cont'd)

 

 

Short Rx Frames

The number of frames received over the Network or Port-1

 

interface that were less than 5-octets (five 8-bit bytes) in

 

length.

 

There may be a non-frame relay device on the other end of

 

the link.

 

 

Long Rx Frames

The number of frames received over the Network or Port-1

 

interface that were more than 8192-octets in length.

 

The device on the far end of the link may be configured

 

incorrectly.

 

 

Invalid DLCI

The number of frames received over the interface that were

 

addressed to DLCIs outside the valid range; that is, a number

 

less than 16 or greater than 1007.

 

The device on the far end of the circuit may have been

 

configured incorrectly, or the DLCIs configured for the

 

FrameSaver unit may not match the DLCIs supplied by the

 

service provider.

 

 

Unknown DLCI

The number of frames received over the interface that were

 

addressed to unknown DLCIs.

 

The DLCI may not have been configured, or it has been

 

configured to be Inactive.

 

Indicates that the FrameSaver units or devices at both or

 

either end of the circuit have been configured incorrectly.

 

 

Unknown Error

The number of frames received over the interface that do not

 

fall into one of the other statistic categories.

 

Indicates that the error is not one that the unit can recognize.

 

 

Frame Relay LMI

 

 

 

LMI Protocol

The LMI protocol configured for the frame relay link.

 

Normal condition.

 

 

Status Msg Received

The number of LMI status messages received over the

 

interface.

 

Normal condition.

 

 

Total LMI Errors

The number of LMI errors. Reliability errors, protocol errors,

 

unknown report types, unknown information elements, and

 

sequence errors are included in this total.

 

Network problems.

 

 

Number of Inactives

The number of times the LMI has declared the frame relay link

 

Inactive.

 

Network problems.
