Frames too long:
The number of frames detected that exceed the
maximum permitted frame size of 1518 octets.
Short events:
The number of fragments detected with
ActivityDuration less than ShortEventMaxTime (greater than 74 bit
times and less than 82 bit times). Usually indicates a network
topology problem, such as connecting two Express hubs running at
100 Mbps with UTP cable (instead of Intel Cascade Cables in a
stack) or using cables longer than 100 meters.
Late events:
The number of collisions detected after the
allowable detection period. Usually indicates a network topology
problem, such as daisy-chaining two Express hubs running at 100
Mbps with UTP cable (instead of Intel Cascade Cables in a stack),
daisy-chaining too many hubs running at 10 Mbps, or using cables
longer than 100 meters.
Very long events:
The number of times MAU jabber lockup
protection (MJLP) was detected due to transmission of data that
exceeded five msec. in duration (octet count greater than
maxFramSize). This information can be useful in identifying faulty
devices or ports.
Rate mismatch:
A count of the occurrences of out-of-specification
bit rates. This indicates the number of times the FIFO buffer overruns
or underruns due to transmission rate errors. This could indicate an
incorrect FIFO setting on a LAN adapter or a faulty LAN adapter.
Total errors:
The total number of errors detected since the port
was last reset. Total errors include FCS errors, alignment errors,
frame too long, short events, late events, very long event, and rate
mismatch errors.
Runts:
The number of frames detected that are less than the
minimum permitted frame size and have a good FCS. Runts usually
indicate collision fragments, a normal network event.
Auto partitions:
The number of times this port was
automatically partitioned. This condition occurs when 64 consecutive
collisions are detected on the port. These collisions are due to
excessive traffic on the segment, a malfunctioning port, or a
malfunctioning adapter that is jabbering.
