Output errors
(Extensive output only) Output errors on the interface. The following paragraphs explain the nonobvious counters:
  • Carrier transitions—Number of times the interface has gone from down to up. This number should not increment quickly, increasing only when the cable is unplugged, the far-end system is powered down and up, or a similar problem occurs. If it increments quickly (perhaps once every 10 seconds), then either the cable, the far-end system, or the PIC is broken.
  • Errors—Sum of the outgoing frame aborts and FCS errors.
  • Drops—Number of packets dropped by the output queue of the I/O Manager ASIC. If the interface is saturated, this number increments once for every packet that is dropped by the ASIC's RED mechanism.
  • Aged packets—Number of packets that remained in shared packet SDRAM for so long that the system automatically purged them. The value in this field should never increment. If it does, it is most likely a software bug or possibly broken hardware.
