Description
The number of unknown packet types if Ethernet IP
encapsulation is being used. The number of packets
with illegal lengths if IEEE 802.2/802.3 IP
encapsulation is being used.
The number of frames sent.
The number of times packets could not be transmitted
because the CSMIM2 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 CSMIM2 lost the Clear to Send signal –
usually the result of excessive traffic.
The number of times the CSMIM2 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 CSMIM2 could not transmit
packets because there were too many collisions –
usually the result of excessive traffic on the Ethernet.
The boot command displays these retries as "*."
