♦
 
CRC Errors
  The number of frames that fail the CRC integrity check.
♦
 
Oversize Frames
  The number of good frames with length greater than 1518 bytes and therefore are
greater than the maximum legal length.
♦
 
Fragments
  The number of packets less than 64 bytes with either bad framing or an invalid CRC.
These are normally the result of collisions.
♦
 
Jabbers
  The number of frames with length more than 1518 bytes and with CRC error or misalignment
(bad framing).
♦
 
Late Collision
  The number of collisions that occur at or after the 64
th
 byte (octet) in the frame.
♦
 
Mac Rx Errors
  The number of frames with received MAC Errors.
♦
 
Dropped Frames
  Counts received packets which are dropped due to any of the following reasons: lack
of available receive buffers, port-disable, link-test-fail, spanning tree, or empty distribution list.
♦
 
Total errors
  The sum of the CRC Errors, Oversize Frames, Fragments, Jabbers, Late Collision, Mac
Rx Errors, and Dropped Frames counters.
♦
 
Collisions
  The number of collision errors.
