SMC Networks SMC6724L3 manual Rmon Statistics

CONFIGURING THE SWITCH

Parameter	Description
Multiple Collision	A count of successfully transmitted frames for which
Frames	transmission is inhibited by more than one collision.
Carrier Sense Errors	The number of times that the carrier sense condition
	was lost or never asserted when attempting to transmit a
	frame.
SQE Test Errors	A count of times that the SQE TEST ERROR message
	is generated by the PLS sublayer for a particular
	interface.
Frames Too Long	A count of frames received on a particular interface that
	exceed the maximum permitted frame size.
Deferred Transmissions	A count of frames for which the first transmission
	attempt on a particular interface is delayed because the
	medium was busy.
Internal MAC Receive	A count of frames for which reception on a particular
Errors	interface fails due to an internal MAC sublayer receive
	error.
RMON Statistics
Drop Events	The total number of events in which packets were
	dropped due to lack of resources.
Jabbers	The total number of frames received that were longer
	than 1518 octets (excluding framing bits, but including
	FCS octets), and had either an FCS or alignment error.
Received Bytes	Total number of bytes of data received on the network.
	This statistic can be used as a reasonable indication of
	Ethernet utilization.
Collisions	The best estimate of the total number of collisions on
	this Ethernet segment.
Received Frames	The total number of frames (bad, broadcast and
	multicast) received.
Broadcast Frames	The total number of good frames received that were
	directed to the broadcast address. Note that this does
	not include multicast packets.
Multicast Frames	The total number of good frames received that were
	directed to this multicast address.
