CONFIGURING THE SWITCH

	Table 3-8. Port Statistics
Parameter		Description
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.
