Graphing switch port data 53Graph Port screen - Rmon tab3 The following table describes the fields on this tab.RMON tab fieldsField DescriptionOctets The total number of octets of data (including thosein bad packets) received on the network (excludingframing bits but including FCS octets). Youcan use this object as a reasonable estimate ofEthernet utilization. For greater precision, samplethe etherStatsPkts and etherStatsOctets objectsbefore and after a common interval.Pkts The total number of packets (including badpackets, broadcast packets, and multicast packets)received.BroadcastPkts The total number of good packets received thatwere directed to the broadcast address. Note thatthis does not include multicast packets.MulticastPkts The total number of good packets received thatwere directed to a multicast address. Note thatthis number does not include packets directed tothe broadcast address.CRCAlignErrors The total number of packets received that had alength (excluding framing bits, but including FCSoctets) of between 64 and 1518 octets, inclusive,but had either a bad Frame Check Sequence(FCS) with an integral number of octets (FCSError) or a bad FCS with a nonintegral number ofoctets (Alignment Error).Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 SeriesConfiguration - System MonitoringNN47200-505 03.01 Standard5.1 27 August 2007Copyright © 2005 - 2007, Nortel Networks.
