o alignment error
This event is generated whenever an incoming frame does not
contain an integral number of octets. This error can be caused
by several conditions, such as electromagnetic interference, late
collisions, or improperly set hardware parameters (for example,
receiver squelch).
o carrier check failure
This event is generated on a transmission that failed, either
because the data link did not sense the receive carrier signal
that must accompany transmission of a frame, or because the data
link did not detect an error. This error indicates a failure
in either the transmitting or receiving hardware, such as the
transceiver or transceiver cable.
o data overrun
This event is generated whenever an incoming frame is lost
because of a hardware resource failure such as insufficient
hardware buffers or insufficient CPU time.
o excessive collision
This event is generated whenever a transmission fails because the
medium access algorithm reached the maximum number of allowable
retransmission attempts resulting from collisions. This error can
occur when too many systems are trying to transmit at the same
time or when there are cable problems.
o frame check error
This event is generated whenever an incoming frame fails
the Frame Check Sequence test. This error can be caused by
several conditions, such as electromagnetic interference, late
collisions, or improperly set hardware parameters (for example,
receiver squelch).
o frame too long
This event is generated whenever a remote system sends a frame
that exceeds the CSMA/CD MAC maximum length.
o late collision
This event is generated whenever a transmission fails because a
collision was detected after the allowed window for collisions
had elapsed. This error indicates either a problem with another
system's carrier sense or a weak local transmitter.
o receive data length error
This event is generated whenever a remote system sends an 802.3
frame having a length field value that is not valid for the
number of octets actually received by the MAC.
o unavailable station buffer
This event is generated whenever an incoming frame is discarded
because there is no station buffer available to receive it. This
error indicates a lack of local station buffers; that is, a lack
of buffers between the cable and the user buffers.
On OpenVMS, this event is blocked by default. If you wish to
unblock this event, you may do so using the NET$EVENT_LOCAL
script. For more information about that script, refer to
HELP NETWORK_MANAGEMENT EVENT_DISPATCHER.
o unavailable user buffer
This event is generated whenever an incoming frame is discarded
because there is no user buffer queued to the appropriate port
to receive it. This error indicates a lack of buffers in the
user process; that is, the buffers supplied by the user for the
Receive function.
This event is one that network managers commonly select to be
blocked. If you wish to block this event, you may do so using
the NET$EVENT_LOCAL script. For more information about that
script, refer to HELP NETWORK_MANAGEMENT EVENT_DISPATCHER.
o unrecognized individual destination pdu
This event is generated whenever an incoming frame that matches
an enabled individual MAC address is discarded because the frame
does not satisfy the filter criteria of any port. This error
indicates that a remote system is using a protocol that is
locally unsupported or that the local system has not enabled a
protocol type, protocol identifier, or LLC SAP address that it
should have.
o unrecognized multicast destination pdu
This event is generated whenever an incoming frame that matches
an enabled multicast MAC address is discarded because the frame
does not satisfy the filter criteria of any port. This error
indicates that the local system has not enabled an Ethernet
protocol type, SNAP identifier, or LLC SAP address that it should
have, or that a remote system is sending traffic that is invalid
for the combination of multicast and the currently specified
protocol type, SNAP identifier, or LLC SAP.
On OpenVMS, this event is blocked by default. If you wish to
unblock this event, you may do so using the NET$EVENT_LOCAL
script. For more information about that script, refer to
HELP NETWORK_MANAGEMENT EVENT_DISPATCHER.
