FRAMES RECEIVED

Displays the number of frames received.

ERRORS RECEIVED

Displays the number of errors received.

COLLISIONS

OOW COLLISIONS

usually caused by the network being too long where the round trip
propagation delay is greater than 51.2

µ

s (the collision domain is too

large), a station somewhere on the network is violating Carrier Sense and
transmitting at will, or a cable somewhere on the network failed during
the transmission of the packet.

CRC ERRORS

Displays the number of packets with bad Cyclic Redundancy Checks
(CRC) that have been received from the network. The CRC is a 4-byte
field in the data packet that ensures that the transmitted data that is
received is the same as the data that was originally sent.

ALIGNMENT ERRORS

Displays the number of errors due to misaligned packets.

RUNT PACKETS

packet is less than the minimum Ethernet frame size of 64 bytes, not
