Packets In Error
Displays the number of error packets coming into the interface.
Runt frames — Packets shorter than the minimum Ethernet frame length (64
bytes).
CRC errors — The Cyclical Redundancy Check (CRC) is the 4 byte field at the end of
every frame the receiving station uses to interpret if the frame is valid. If the CRC
value computed by the interface does not match the value at the end of frame, it is
considered as a CRC error.
Late collisions — A late collision is any collision that occurs after the first 64 octets
of data have been sent by the sending station. Late collisions are not normal and
are usually the result of out of specification cabling or a malfunctioning device.
Misaligned frames — A misaligned frame is a frame that somehow gets out of sync
with the receiving station's receive clock recovery circuit. Misalignment is reported
if the frame ends with a CRC error and extra bits are also detected.
Bytes Out Displays the number of bytes going out on the interface.
Packets Out Displays the number of packets going out on the interface.
Packets Out Dropped Displays the number of dropped packets going out of the interface, due to
saturated output queues assigned to the interface processor or the physical
device/software module. Packets can be dropped due to collisions as well.
Packets Out Error
Displays the number of error packets going out of the interface, including frame
forming errors or malformed packets transmitted over the interface.
