View the Etherlike Statistics on the SFE/SGE Managed Switches

Objective

Etherlike page displays the interface statistics per port. The page contains useful information regarding errors in the physical layer that can cause problem for the traffic to flow. The objective of this document is to configure Etherlike statistics per port on the SFE/SGE Managed Switches.

Applicable Devices

• SFE/SGE Managed Switches

Software Version

• v3.0.0.18

Etherlike Statistics

Step 1. Log in to the web configuration utility and choose Statistics > Ethernet > Etherlike. The Etherlike page opens:

Step 2. For the Interface field, click either Port to choose a port to find Etherlike Statistics for, or choose LAG to choose a Link Aggregation to find Etherlike Statistics for.

Note: If you clicked LAG, skip to Step 4.

Step 3. From the Port drop-down list, choose the port that you want to find Etherlike Statistics for. Skip to Step 5.

Step 4. From the LAG drop-down list, choose the Link Aggregation that you want to find Etherlike Statistics for. LAG is aggregating or combining multiple network connection in parallel to increase the throughput.

Step 5. For the Refresh Rate field, choose an option for the Etherlike Statistics from the Refresh Rate drop-down list . The data will begin streaming after a refresh rate is chosen. The default value is set to No Refresh.

• No refresh — No Etherlike statistics will be taken.

• 15 sec. — Etherlike statistics will be taken ever 15 seconds.

• 30 sec. — Etherlike statistics will be taken ever 30 seconds.

• 60 sec. — Etherlike statistics will be taken ever 60 seconds.

Note: The Following Information is displayed according to the Etherlike Statsitics.

• Frame Check Sequence (FCS) Errors — This field displays received frames that failed the Cyclic Redundancy Checks (CRC).

• Single Collision Frames — This field explains the number of frames involved in a single collision, but were successfully transmitted.

• Late Collisions — Displays collisions that have been detected after the first 512 bits of data.

• Oversize Packets — Displays packets greater than 1518 octets received.

• Internal MAC Receive Errors — Displays frames rejected because of receiver errors.

• Received Pause Frames  — Displays received flow control pause frames that are transmitted from a particular interface.

• Transmitted Pause Frames  — Displays frames that are paused and are transmitted from a particular interface.

Step 6. (Optional) Click the Clear Counters button to clear the interface statistics counters.
