Total Errors
"The total number of errors which have occurred on this port. This counter is
the summation of the values of other error counters (for the same port),
namely:
rptrMonitorPortFCSErrors,
rptrMonitorPortAlignmentErrors,
rptrMonitorPortFrameTooLongs,
rptrMonitorPortShortEvents,
rptrMonitorPortLateEvents,
rptrMonitorPortVeryLongEvents, and
rptrMonitorPortDataRateMismatches.
This counter is redundant in the sense that it is the summation of information
already available through other objects. However, it is included specifically
because the regular retrieval of this object as a means of tracking the health of a
port provides a considerable optimization of network management traffic over
the otherwise necessary retrieval of the summed counters."
