Control Panel : Network Settings : Network Statistics Page : Receiving Errors

Field/Item Description
Buffer Overflow A buffer overflow is an anomalous condition where a process attempts to store data
beyond the boundaries of a fixed-length buffer. The result is that the extra data overwrites
adjacent memory locations. The overwritten data may include other buffers, variables and
program flow data and may cause a process to crash or produce incorrect results. This field
displays how many of these errors occurred. (Receiver ring buff overflows errors)
CRC Errors CRC stands for Cyclic Redundancy Check. A CRC can be used in the same way as a
checksum to detect accidental alteration of data during transmission or storage. CRCs are
popular because they are simple to implement in binary hardware, are easy to analyze
mathematically and are particularly good at detecting common errors caused by noise in
transmission channels. This field displays the number of CRC Errors, which are valid in
10/100M mode.
Frame Alignment This field displays the number of Frame Alignment Errors. A Frame Alignment Error
Error indicates a received frame has an uneven byte count and that there is a Frame Check
Sequence (FCS) error. Frame Alignment Errors often result from MAC layer packet
formation problems, cabling problems that cause corrupted or lost data and packets that
pass through more than two cascaded multiport transceivers. Same as Rx_Align_Errors.
This error is only valid in 10/100M mode.
FIFO Error This field displays the number of RX FIFO (Receiver FIFO) Errors reported.
Missed Error This field displays the number of Missed Packets. Same as Rx_Missed_Errors. Missed
packet count.
