Name | Data Type | Value
AlignmentErrors | uint32 |
Counter | boolean | true
Deprecated | string | CIM_EthernetPortStatistics.AlignmentErrors

Description

string

Note: The use of this method has been deprecated. Deprecated description: A count of frames that were received on a particular interface, are not an integral number of octets in length, and do not pass the FCS check. The count that is represented by an instance of this object is incremented when the alignment Error status is returned by the MAC layer to the LLC (or other MAC user). Received frames for which multiple error conditions obtained are, according to the conventions of IEEE 802.3 Layer Management, counted exclusively according to the error status presented to the LLC.

Deprecated | string | CIM_EthernetPortStatistics.CarrierSenseErrors

Description

string

Note: The use of this method has been deprecated. Deprecated description: 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.

Deprecated | string | CIM_EthernetPortStatistics.FCSErrors

Description

string

Note: The use of this method has been deprecated. Deprecated description: A count of frames that were received on a particular interface and are an integral number of octets in length, but do not pass the FCS check. The count represented by an instance of this object is incremented when the frame CheckError status is returned by the MAC layer to the LLC (or other MAC user). Received frames for which multiple error conditions obtained are, according to the conventions of IEEE 802.3 Layer Management, counted exclusively according to the error status presented to the LLC.

Counter | boolean | true
Deprecated | string | CIM_EthernetPortStatistics.FrameTooLongs

Description

string

Note: The use of this method has been deprecated. Deprecated description: A count of frames that are received on a particular interface that exceeds the maximum permitted frame size. The count that is represented by an instance of this object is incremented when the FrameTooLong status is returned by the MAC layer to the LLC (or other MAC user). Received frames for which multiple error conditions obtained are, according to the conventions of IEEE 802.3 Layer Management, counted exclusively according to the error status presented to the LLC.

InternalMACReceiveErrors | uint32 |
Counter | boolean | true
Deprecated | string | CIM_EthernetPortStatistics.InternalMACReceiveErrors

Description

string

Note: The use of this method has been deprecated. Deprecated description: A count of frames for which reception on a particular interface fails due to an internal MAC sublayer receive error. A frame is counted by an instance of this object only if it is not counted by the corresponding instance of the FrameTooLongs property the AlignmentErrors property, or the FCSErrors property. The precise meaning of the count that is represented by an instance of this object is implementation-specific. In particular, an instance of this object might represent a count of receive errors on a particular interface that are not otherwise counted.

Deprecated | string | CIM_EthernetPortStatistics.InternalMACTransmitErrors

Description

string

Note: The use of this method has been deprecated. Deprecated description: A count of frames for which transmission on a particular interface fails due to an internal MAC sublayer transmit error. A frame is counted by an instance of this object only if it is not counted by the corresponding instance of the LateCollisions property, the Excessive Collisions property, or the CarrierSenseErrors property. The precise meaning of the count represented by an instance of this object is implementation-specific. In particular, an instance of this object might represent a count of transmission errors on a particular interface that are not otherwise counted.

Description

string

Note: The use of this method has been deprecated. Deprecated description: The number of times that a collision is detected on a particular interface later than 512 bit-times into the transmission of a packet. Five hundred and twelve bit-times corresponds to 51.2 microseconds on a 10 Mbit/s system. A late collision included in a count that is represented by an instance of this object is also considered to be a generic collision for purposes of other collision-related statistics.
