Viewing Packet Statistics
This page shows reports of packet traffic and packet errors. The table headings meanings are
explained as follows:
• ID: The port number on the switch
• Tx: Transmitted packets
• Rx: Received packets
• Tx Error: Transmitted packets with error. Packets are counted as contributing to TX Error if
they:
• Had a late collision detected during the transmission (512 bit-times into the transmission)
• Experienced 16 failed transmission attempts due to collision.
• Were dropped due to lack of resources
Note: In order for it to work, you must map the priority to the appropriate 4
queues in the IEEE802.1P of Switch > QoS page.
Note: Speed must be set to the same value as for the port’s link partner. If this is not done,
packet loss or link errors may occur.
