memory (DRAM) and NVRAM.
System Log messages operate as follows:

Description
Indicates the total number of packets flooded (forwarded) through this port
because the destination address was not in the address database.
Indicates the total number of valid-size packets that were received with proper
framing but discarded because of cyclic redundancy check (CRC) errors.
Indicates the total number of collisions detected on this port.
Indicates the total number of packets that were transmitted successfully on this
port after a single collision.
Indicates the total number of packets that were transmitted successfully on this
port after more than one collision.
Indicates the total number of packets lost on this port due to excessive collisions.
Indicates the total number of packet collisions that occurred after a total length of
time that exceeded 512 bit-times of packet transmission.
Transmitted column: Indicates the total number of pause frames transmitted on
this port. Pause frames cause the transmitting port to temporarily suspend the
transmission of packets when the receiving port's frame buffer is full.
Received column: Indicates the total number of pause frames received on this
port. Pause frames cause the transmitting port to temporarily suspend the
transmission of packets when the receiving port's frame buffer is full.

NVRAM messages are retrievable after a system reset.
DRAM messages can be viewed while the system is operational.
All NVRAM and DRAM messages are time stamped.
When you restart your system after a reset, the DRAM messages are deleted.
After a reset, all messages stored in NVRAM are copied to DRAM (DRAM
messages are not copied to NVRAM). The messages copied to DRAM are
time stamped to zero (0).
