Intel® Blade Server Ethernet Switch Module IXM5414E 79
Jabbers Received
The total number of packets received that were longer than 1518 octets (excluding framing
bits, but including FCS octets), and had either a bad Frame Check Sequence (FCS) with an
integral number of octets (FCS Error) or a bad FCS with a non-integral number of octets
(Alignment Error). Note that this definition of jabber is different than the definition in IEEE-
802.3 section 8.2.1.5 (10BASE5) and section 10.3.1.4 (10BASE2). These documents define
jabber as the condition where any packet exceeds 20 ms. The allowed range to detect jabber
is between 20 ms and 150 ms.
Fragments/Undersize Received
The total number of packets received that were less than 64 octets in length (excluding
framing bits but including FCS octets).
Alignment Errors
The total number of packets received that had a length (excluding framing bits but including
FCS octets) of between 64 and 1518 octets, inclusive, but had a bad Frame Check Sequence
(FCS) with a non-integral number of octets.
Rx FCS Errors
The total number of packets received that had a length (excluding framing bits but including
FCS octets) of between 64 and 1518 octets, inclusive, but had a bad Frame Check Sequence
(FCS) with an integral number of octets.
Total Received Packets Not Forwarded
802.3x Pause Frames Received
A count of MAC Control frames received on this interface with an opcode indicating the
PAUSE operation. This counter does not increment when the interface is operating in half-
duplex mode.
Total Packets Transmitted (Octets)
Total Packets Transmitted (Octets)
The total number of octets of data (including those in bad packets) transmitted on the
network (excluding framing bits but including FCS octets). This object can be used as a
reasonable estimate of Ethernet utilization. If greater precision is desired, the etherStatsPkts
and etherStatsOctets objects should be sampled before and after a common interval.
Packets Transmitted 64 Octets
The total number of packets (including bad packets) transmitted that were 64 octets in
length (excluding framing bits but including FCS octets).
Packets Transmitted 65-127 octets
The total number of packets (including bad packets) transmitted that were between 65 and
127 octets in length (excluding framing bits but including FCS octets).
Packets Transmitted 128-255 Octets
The total number of packets (including bad packets) transmitted that were between 128 and
255 octets in length (excluding framing bits but including FCS octets).
Packets Transmitted 256-511 Octets
The total number of packets (including bad packets) transmitted that were between 256 and
511 octets in length (excluding framing bits but including FCS octets).
Packets Transmitted 512-1023 Octets
The total number of packets (including bad packets) transmitted that were between 512 and
1023 octets in length (excluding framing bits but including FCS octets).
