Description
The number of packets dropped due to waiting too
long for a bus to become available.
The number of unknown packet types if Ethernet
DIX encapsulation is being used. The number of
packets with illegal lengths if IEEE 802.2/802.3
encapsulation is being used.
The number of frames sent.
The number of times packets could not be
transmitted because the Remote Access
Concentrator lost the Carrier Sense signal – usually
the result of excessive traffic on the Ethernet.
The number of times packets could not be
transmitted because the Remote Access
Concentrator lost the Clear to Send signal – usually
the result of a serious hardware failure or
incompatibility.
The number of times the Remote Access
Concentrator had to retry transmissions
automatically – usually the result of normal Ethernet
traffic. These retries do not cause the boot command
to display ''*."
The number of times the Remote Access
Concentrator could not transmit packets because
there were too many collisions – usually the result
of excessive traffic on the Ethernet (but can be due
to wiring errors or hardware failure). The boot
command displays these retries as "*."
