LABEL

DESCRIPTION

Control

This field shows the number of control packets received (including those

 

with CRC error) but it does not include the 802.3x Pause packets.

 

 

TX Collision

 

The following fields display information on collisions while transmitting.

 

 

Single

This is a count of successfully transmitted packets for which transmission is

 

inhibited by exactly one collision.

 

 

Multiple

This is a count of successfully transmitted packets for which transmission

 

was inhibited by more than one collision.

 

 

Excessiv

This is a count of packets for which transmission failed due to excessive

e

collisions. Excessive collision is defined as the number of maximum

 

collisions before the retransmission count is reset.

 

 

Late

This is the number of times a late collision is detected, that is, after 512

 

bits of the packets have already been transmitted.

 

 

Error Packet

The following fields display detailed information about packets received

 

that were in error.

 

 

RX CRC

This field shows the number of packets received with CRC (Cyclic

 

Redundant Check) error(s).

 

 

Length

This field shows the number of packets received with a length that was out

 

of range.

 

 

Runt

This field shows the number of packets received that were too short

 

(shorter than 64 octets), including the ones with CRC errors.

 

 

Distribution

 

 

 

64

This field shows the number of packets (including bad packets) received

 

that were 64 octets in length.

 

 

65-127

This field shows the number of packets (including bad packets) received

 

that were between 65 and 127 octets in length.

 

 

128-255

This field shows the number of packets (including bad packets) received

 

that were between 128 and 255 octets in length.

 

 

256-511

This field shows the number of packets (including bad packets) received

 

that were between 256 and 511 octets in length.

 

 

512-

This field shows the number of packets (including bad packets) received

1023

that were between 512 and 1023 octets in length.

 

 

1024-

This field shows the number of packets (including bad packets) received

1518

that were between 1024 and 1518 octets in length.

 

 

Giant

This field shows the number of packets (including bad packets) received

 

that were between 1519 octets in length and the maximum frame size.

 

The maximum frame size varies depending on your switch model. See

 

Chapter 47 on page 419.
