Category Subcategory Variable Definition
ifOutDiscards The number of outbound packets
discarded even though no errors
were detected to prevent the
packets being transmitted. One
possible reason for discarding such
a packet is to free buffer space.
ifOutErrors For packet-oriented interfaces, the
number of outbound packets that
were not transmitted because of
errors. For character-oriented or
fixed-length interfaces, the number
of outbound transmission units that
were not transmitted because of
errors.
Ethernet dot3StatsAlignmentErrors A count of frames received on a
particular interface that are not an
integral number of octets in length
and do not pass the Frame Check
Sequence (FCS) check. The count
represented by an instance of this
object increments when the
alignmentError status is returned
by the MAC service to the LLC (or
other MAC user). Received frames
for which multiple error conditions
exist are, according to the
conventions of IEEE 802.3 Layer
Management, counted exclusively
according to the error status
presented to the LLC.
dot3StatsFCSErrors A count of frames received on a
particular interface that are an
integral number of octets in length
but do not pass the FCS check.
The count represented by an
instance of this object increments
when the frameCheckError status
is returned by the MAC service to
the LLC (or other MAC user).
Received frames for which multiple
error conditions occur are,
according to the conventions of
IEEE 802.3 Layer Management,
counted exclusively according to
the error status presented to the
LLC.
