STATS PIF Command
Unknown Protocol Frames
indicates the number of frames discarded because the filter could not identify a
destination.
802.5 Stats
Line Errors
indicates that this adapter repeated or copied a frame or token and a violation of
the hardware-clocking protocol was detected. A high count in this field might
indicate a hardware problem with the upstream neighborhood of this adapter.
Burst Errors
indicates that this adapter repeated or copied a frame or token and a violation of
the hardware clocking protocol was detected. A high count in this field might
indicate a hardware problem in the upstream neighborhood of this adapter.
AC Errors
indicates that the upstream neighbor of this adapter could not set the ARI/FCI bits
in a Monitor Present frame. A high count in this field might indicate a hardware
problem in the upstream neighborhood of this adapter.
Abort Transmit Errors
indicates this adapter experienced a problem with the DMA circuit. A high count in
this field may indicate a hardware problem in the adapter.
Internal Errors
indicates an unexpected error has occurred in the adapter. A non-zero count in this
field may indicate a hardware problem in the adapter.
Lost Frame Errors
this counter indicates that this adapter was attempting to strip a frame transmitted
from the ring and was unable to receive the end-of-frame. A high count in this field
might indicate a hardware problem in the upstream neighborhood of this adapter.
Receive Congestions
is incremented each time a frame addressed to this adapter cannot be copied from
the ring due to lack of local buffer space on the adapter. A high count in this field
may indicate this adapter is supporting too many connections and needs a higher
transfer rate.
Frame Copied Errors
is incremented when this adapter recognizes a frame addressed to its specific
address but finds that the ARI bits are not set to 0. A high count in this field
