Port Statistics Screen Fields
The following information briefly explains each Port Statistics Screen field.
PORT #
Indicates the current port for which statistics are displayed.
OCTETS
Displays the number of octets transmitted and received.
PACKETS
Displays the number of packets transmitted and received.
TOTAL ERRORS
Displays the total number of errors on this port.
COLLISIONS
Displays the total number of collisions detected on this port.
CRC/ALIGNMENT ERRORS
Displays the number of packets with bad Cyclic Redundancy Checks (CRC) that
have been received from the network. The CRC is a 4-byte field in the data packet
that ensures that the transmitted data that is received is the same as the data that
was originally sent. Alignment errors are due to misaligned packets.
UNDERSIZE PACKETS
Displays the number of packets received whose size was less than the minimum
Ethernet frame size of 64 bytes, not including preamble.
OVERSIZE PACKETS
Displays the number of packets received whose size exceeded 1518 data bytes,
not including preamble.
FRAGMENTS
Displays the total number of packets received that were not an integral number of
octets in length or that had a bad Frame Check Sequence (FCS), and were less
than 64 octets in length (excluding framing bits but including FCS octets).
JABBERS
Displays the total number of packets received that were longer than 1518 octets
(excluding framing bits, but including Frame Check Sequence (FCS) octets), and
were not an integral number of octets in length or had a bad Frame Check
Sequence.
BROADCASTS
Displays the number of broadcasts received.
