OSA-Express3 Port Errors Workspace
The OSA-Express3 Port Errors workspace displays error data for the OSA-Express3
Ethernet adapters. The OSA-Express3 Port Errors workspace is accessed only
as a drill down from the OSA-Express3 Ports Summary workspace using Channel
Number and Port Number as link attributes.
To display the OSA-Express3 Port Errors workspace, do the following:
- Click the OSA navigator item for a specific TCP/IP
stack to display the OSA Channels workspace.
- If the value for the OSA channel Subtype attribute
in the OSA-Express Channels Summary Table is osaexp3gigabitEthernet, osaexp3oneThousandBaseTEthernet,
or osaexp3tenGigabitEthernet,, right-click the Link icon by this table row.
- A conditional link is displayed in the list of available links. Select OSA-Express3 Ports to display the OSA-Express3
Ports Summary workspace.
- Right-click on the Link icon by one of the
rows in the Port Summary for Channel xyz summary table
and select OSA-Express3 Port Errors.
The OSA-Express3 Port Errors workspace contains the following views:
- Current Collisions: Displays the number of single
collisions, multiple collisions, excessive collisions or late collisions encountered
by a successfully transmitted packet over the current collection interval.
The information is presented in a bar graph where:
- Yellow represents the number of single collisions over the current collection
period.
- Blue represents the number of multiple collisions over the current collection
period.
- Pink represents the number of excessive collisions over the current collection
period.
- Green represents the number of late collisions over the current collection
period.
This data applies to a port selected from the OSA-Express3 Ports Summary
workspace
- Current Missed Packets or Not Stored Frames: Displays
the number of missed packets received or the number of frames received when
there were no available descriptor buffers available to store frames by the
specified port over the current collection interval. The information is presented
in a bar graph where:
- Yellow represents the number of not stored frames received over the current
collection period.
- Blue represents the number of missed packets received over the current
collection period.
This data applies to a port selected from the OSA-Express3 Ports Summary
workspace.
- Current CRC Errors or Jabber Frames: Displays the
number of cyclic redundancy check (CRC) errors on packets received on the
LAN or the number of jabber frames received by the specified port over the
current collection interval. The information is presented in a bar graph
where:
- Yellow represents the number of packets with CRC errors received over
the current collection period.
- Blue represents the number of jabber frames received over the current
collection period.
This data applies to a port selected from the OSA-Express3 Ports Summary
workspace.
- Current Undersized or Oversized Frames: Displays
the number of undersized frames received or oversized frames received by the
specified port over the current collection interval. The information is presented
in a bar graph where:
- Yellow represents the number of undersized frames received over the current
collection period.
- Blue represents the number of oversize frames received over the current
collection period.
This data applies to a port selected from the OSA-Express3 Ports Summary
workspace.
- Port Errors for Port Number abc
and Channel xyz Table: Provides OSA-Express3
port error data for the specified port and channel, where abc is
the selected port number link attribute and xyz is the selected channel
number link attribute.
Port Errors for Port Number abc
and Channel xyz Table
The Port Errors for Port Number abc and Channel xyz table
provides OSA-Express3 port error data for the specified port number and channel,
where abc is the selected port number link attribute and xyz is the selected channel number link attribute.
For a complete list of the attributes available in the Port Errors for
Port Number abc and Channel xyz table, and a brief description
of each, see the OSA Express3 Ports Errors Attributes help panel.
