	PORT CONFIGURATION
Table 3-11 Port Statistics (Continued)
Parameter	Description
Etherlike Statistics
Alignment Errors	The number of alignment errors (missynchronized
	data packets).
Late Collisions	The number of times that a collision is detected later
	than 512 bit-times into the transmission of a packet.
FCS Errors	A count of frames received on a particular interface
	that are an integral number of octets in length but do
	not pass the FCS check. This count does not include
	frames received with frame-too-long or
	frame-too-short error.
Excessive Collisions	A count of frames for which transmission on a
	particular interface fails due to excessive collisions.
	This counter does not increment when the interface is
	operating in full-duplex mode.
Single Collision Frames	The number of successfully transmitted frames for
	which transmission is inhibited by exactly one
	collision.
Internal MAC Transmit	A count of frames for which transmission on a
Errors	particular interface fails due to an internal MAC
	sublayer transmit error.
Multiple Collision Frames	A count of successfully transmitted frames for which
	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.
