Undersized
Packets
Count of packets with a valid
CRC that violate the minimum
Ethernet packet size.
These malformed packets are
most often the result of software
errors.
Possible cause: Device or
application creating non-
compliant packets.
Possible action: Use a network
analyzer to identify the
transceiver which at the source of
the problem. If necessary, replace
transceiver, network adapter, or
station.

Fragments Fragments or runts result from
normal collision activity in
Ethernet networks. A runt
packet is an incomplete packet
that is long enough to be
detected by an Ethernet
interface.
Possible causes:
• Interference on network
cabling.
• A Transceiver attached to
the Repeater is generating
Signal Quality Errors (SQE).
Possible actions (respectively):
• Inspect cable runs to see if
they are too close to noisy
devices, and check for
problems with network
devices.
• Disable SQE on the
Transceiver.
