CONFIGURING YOUR ROUTER
Ethernet Statistics
Ethernet Statistics appears under the Statistics Tab for the
properties for a router.
This part of the Statistics dialog box provides information on the
status of data currently being sent or received from the Ethernet. If
no data is being transferred, then zero values will be indicated for
all communication parameters. Because Ethernet data transfers
generally involve some degree of error handling, it is not
uncommon to see some errors reported. However, if a high level
of errors are reported or if the count is increasing continuously
without stopping, you should consult with the Network
Administrator.
Framing Errors represents the number of incidents of corrupt
data resulting from framing errors on the Ethernet side of the
selected router. Automatic error correction handles framing errors
for you.
CRC Errors represents the number of incidents of corrupt data
resulting from CRC errors on the Ethernet side of the selected
router. Automatic error correction handles CRC errors for you.
Collisions represents the number of incidents of data transfer
collisions. Collisions occur when someone else on the Ethernet
side of the selected router is already sending data at the time your
data transfer is expected. Automatic error correction handles
collisions for you.
Missed Packets represents the number of packets not transferred
properly from the Ethernet network to the selected router. These
errors often occur because the router is momentarily busy and
cannot receive data from the Ethernet network. Automatic error
correction handles missed packets for you.
