Bad Frames is a counter of all bad frames over a period of time per segment. A
count of all bad frames displays in the
Overview counters of Expert View.
The Bad Frames counter is a total count of several MAC layer symptoms. The bad
frames counter includes the following MAC layer events:
• CRC Frames -- Frames from 64 to 1518 bytes with a CRC error.
• Fragment Frames -- Frames less than 64 bytes with a CRC error.
• Jabber Frames -- Frames greater than 1518 bytes with a CRC error.
• Oversize Frames -- Frames greater than 1518 bytes without a CRC error.
• Runt Frames -- Frames less than 64 bytes without a CRC error.
