Port Statistic

Description

Dot3StatsExcessiveCollisions

A count of frames for which transmission on a particular interface fails due

to excessive collisions. This counter does not increment when the interface

is operating in full-duplex mode.

Dot3StatsInternalMacTransmitErrors A count of frames for which transmission on a particular interface fails due

to an internal MAC sublayer transmit error. A frame is only counted by an

instance of this object if it is not counted by the corresponding instance of

either the dot3StatsLateCollisions object, the dot3StatsExcessiveCollisions
object, or the dot3StatsCarrierSenseErrors object. The precise meaning of

the count represented by an instance of this object is

implementation-specific. In particular, an instance of this object may

represent a count of transmission errors on a particular interface that are
not otherwise counted.

Dot3StatsCarrierSenseErrors

The number of times that the carrier sense condition was lost or never

asserted when attempting to transmit a frame on a particular interface.
The count represented by an instance of this object is incremented, at

most, once per transmission attempt, even if the carrier sense condition

fluctuates during a transmission attempt. This counter does not increment
when the interface is operating in full-duplex mode.

Dot3StatsFrameTooLongs

A count of frames received on a particular interface that exceeds the

maximum permitted frame size. The count represented by an instance of

this object is incremented when the frameTooLong status is returned by the
MAC service to the LLC (or other MAC user). According to the conventions

of IEEE 802.3 Layer Management, received frames for which multiple

error conditions are obtained are counted exclusively according to the
error status presented to the LLC.

Dot3StatsInternalMacReceiveErrors A count of frames for which reception on a particular interface fails due to

an internal MAC sublayer receive error. A frame is only counted by an

instance of this object if it is not counted by the corresponding instance of
either the dot3StatsFrameTooLongs object, the dot3StatsAlignmentErrors

object, or the dot3StatsFCSErrors object. The precise meaning of the

count represented by an instance of this object is implementation-specific.
In particular, an instance of this object may represent a count of receive

errors on a particular interface that are not otherwise counted.

Dot3StatsSymbolErrors

For an interface operating at 100 Mb/s, the number of times an invalid

data symbol occurred when a valid carrier was present. For an interface
operating in half-duplex mode at 1000 Mb/s, the number of times the

receiving media is non-idle (a carrier event) for a period of time equal to

or greater than slotTime, and during which there was at least one
occurrence of an event that causes the PHY to indicate 'Data reception

error' or 'carrier extend error' on the GMII.

For an interface operating in full-duplex mode at 1000 Mb/s, the number
of times the receiving media is non-idle (a carrier event) for a period of

time equal to or greater than minFrameSize, and during which there was

at least one occurrence of an event that causes the PHY to indicate 'Data
reception error' on the GMII. The count represented by an instance of this

object is incremented, at most, once per carrier event, even if multiple

symbol errors occur during the carrier event. This count does not increment

if a collision is present.

Dot3ControllnUnknownOpcodes

A count of MAC Control frames received on this interface that contain an

opcode that is not supported by this device.

Dot3InPauseFrames

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.
