Table 5-14. Frame Relay Performance Statistics (2 of 3)

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.
