OSA-Express7 Port Errors workspace

The OSA-Express7 Port Errors workspace displays error data for the OSA-Express7 Ethernet adapters. The OSA-Express7 Port Errors workspace is accessed only as a drill down from the OSA-Express7 Ports Summary workspace using Channel Number and Port Number as link attributes.

To display the OSA-Express7 Port Errors workspace, do the following:

1. Click the OSA navigator item for a specific TCP/IP stack to display the OSA Channels workspace.
2. If the value for the OSA channel Subtype attribute in the OSA-Express Channels Summary table is osaexp7gigabitEthernet, osaexp7oneThousandBaseTEthernet, or osaexp7tenGigabitEthernet, right-click the Link icon by this table row.
3. Select OSA-Express7 Ports to display the OSA-Express7 Ports Summary workspace.
4. Right-click on the Link icon by one of the rows in the Ports Summary for Channel xyz Summary table and select OSA-Express7 Port Errors.

The OSA-Express7 Port Errors workspace contains the following views:

• Current Collisions: Displays the number of single collisions, multiple collisions, excessive collisions or late collisions encountered by a successfully transmitted packet over the current collection interval. The information is presented in a bar graph where:
  • Yellow represents the number of single collisions over the current collection period.
  • Blue represents the number of multiple collisions over the current collection period.
  • Pink represents the number of excessive collisions over the current collection period.
  • Green represents the number of late collisions over the current collection period.
  This data applies to a port selected from the OSA-Express7 Ports Summary workspace
• Current CRC Errors or Jabber Frames: Displays the number of cyclic redundancy check (CRC) errors on packets received on the LAN or the number of jabber frames received by the specified port over the current collection interval. The information is presented in a bar graph where:
  • Yellow represents the number of packets with CRC errors received over the current collection period.
  • Blue represents the number of jabber frames received over the current collection period.
  This data applies to a port selected from the OSA-Express7 Ports Summary workspace.
• Current CRC Errors or Jabber Frames: Displays the number of cyclic redundancy check (CRC) errors on packets received on the LAN or the number of jabber frames received by the specified port over the current collection interval. The information is presented in a bar graph where:
  • Yellow represents the number of packets with CRC errors received over the current collection period.
  • Blue represents the number of jabber frames received over the current collection period.
  This data applies to a port selected from the OSA-Express7 Ports Summary workspace.
• Current Undersized or Oversized Frames: Displays the number of undersized frames received or oversized frames received by the specified port over the current collection interval. The information is presented in a bar graph where:
  • Yellow represents the number of undersized frames received over the current collection period.
  • Blue represents the number of oversize frames received over the current collection period.
  This data applies to a port selected from the OSA-Express7 Ports Summary workspace.
