SAN32M1 Fabric Switch Installation and Service Manual 460
Event Code: 431
Message: Excessive Ethernet receive errors
Severity: Informational
Explanation: The receive error counters for the Ethernet adapter on the active CTP card (sum of all error counters) exceeded
a threshold. This does not indicate a CTP card failure but an indication of a possible problem with either the
Ethernet cable, or hub, or misbehavior of another device on the same Ethernet segment. All counters in the event
data described below are represented in hexadecimal with the least significant byte first (e.g., event data 56 34
12 00 represents the counter value 0x00123456).
Action: Verify that the cable and Ethernet hub, and other devices connected to the same segment are working properly.
Event Data: Bytes 0-3: Total Ethernet receive errors (Sum of all receive errors).
Bytes 4-7: Dribble bits count (Count of frames where the received frame had from one to seven bits after the
last received full byte. The CRC error counter is also updated. The frame is not processed).
Bytes 8-11: CRC error count (Count of frames where the received frame had a bad CRC. The frame is not
processed).
Bytes 12-15: Runt frame count (Count of frames received with less than 64 bytes. The frame is not processed.
Broadcast runt frames are counted but do not contribute to the threshold count).
Bytes 16-19: Extra Data count (Count of frames received with more than 1518 bytes. The frame is not processed.
Broadcast frames are counted but do not contribute to the threshold count).
