Current IFS Value
This statistic displays the current IFS value.

Duplex Mode
1=Half, 2=Full
This statistic describes the current link duplex configuration. A one indicates the adapter is configured to half duplex mode, and a two indicates full duplex mode configuration. (These values were chosen to match the usage of the FORCEDUPLEX keyword.) This statistic exists in rev 1.12 or higher of the NetWare server driver.

Flow Control Mode
1=Rx, 2=Tx, 3=both
Indicates which flow control mode is being used by the adapter.

Flow Control Received Unsupported Count

Good Octets Received Count HI
This statistic, in conjunction with the Good Octets Received Count LO, makes up a 64-bit counter that describes the number of good octets received. This statistic reflects the upper 32 bits of the 64-bit counter and is incremented each time the Good Octets Received Count LO has reached it maximum value and wraps to zero. This counter does not include received flow control packets.

Jumbo Frames Received
The number of good jumbo frames received.

Jumbo Frames Transmitted
The number of good jumbo frames transmitted.

Network Link Status
0=Up, 1=Down
This statistic describes the current link status of the adapter. A zero indicates the link is up and a one indicates that link is down. This statistic exists in rev 1.12 or higher of the NetWare server driver.

PCI Bus Type
0=PCI 2.2, 1=PCI-X
Indicates which type of slot the adapter is inserted. This counter does not accurately indicate the bus type, therefore you should ignore it.

Receive Fragment Count
This statistic describes the number of received packets that were less than minimum size (64 bytes) but had a bad CRC.

Receive Jabber Count
This statistic describes the number of received packets that were greater than maximum size (1522 bytes) but had a bad CRC.

Receive No Buffers Count
This statistic describes the number of times that packets were received when there were no available buffers in host memory to store those packets. The packet will still be received if there is space in the hardware FIFO. This counter does not include received flow control packets. Increasing Rx Descriptors on the command line during load could result in this counter incrementing less frequently.

Receive Oversize Count
This statistic describes the number of received packets that were greater than maximum size (1522 bytes) and had a valid CRC.

Receive Undersize Count
This statistic describes the number of received packets that were less than minimum size (64 bytes) and had a valid CRC.

Rx Carrier Extension Errors
This statistic counts the number of packets received in which the carrier extension error was signaled across the GMII interface. The PHY propagates carrier extension errors to the MAC when an error is detected during the carrier extended time of a packet reception. This statistic will only increment if receives are enabled and the device is operating at 1000Mb/s.

Rx Checksum Error Pkts
This statistic describes the number of receive packets with bad checksums calculated. This statistic will increment only on Intel 82543-based gigabit adapters (PRO/1000 F, PRO/1000 T server adapters). The hardware still calculates checksums even when rxchecksum is not specified, so this will increment whenever IP is used.

Rx Checksum Good Pkts
This statistic describes the number of receive packets with good checksums calculated. This statistic will increment only on Intel 82543-based gigabit adapters (PRO/1000 F, PRO/1000 T server adapters). The hardware still calculates checksums even when rxchecksum is not specified, so this will increment whenever IP is used.

Rx CRC Error Count
This statistic describes the number of receive packets with CRC errors. Packets less than 64 bytes are not counted in this statistic.

Rx DMA Too Early
This statistic counts the total number of times that the device attempted to perform an Early DMA operation (by speculatively requesting the host bus prior to reception of the entire packet), and ran out of data to DMA before the device was forced to relinquish ownership of the bus. This condition is really not an “error” condition, but is nevertheless counted for diagnostic purposes. This statistic is invalid unless Early Receives are enabled.

Rx Error Count
This statistic counts the number of packets received in which I_RX_ER was asserted by the PHY. In order for a packet to be counted in this register, it must pass address filtering and must be 64 bytes or greater (from <Destination Address> through <CRC>, inclusively) in length. If receives are not enabled, then this register does not increment. In TBI mode, this register will increment on the reception of /V/ codes.

Rx Length Error Count
This statistic describes receive length error events. A length error occurs if an incoming packet is undersized (less than 64 bytes) or oversized (greater than 1522 bytes, excluding Jumbo Frames, if enabled).

Rx Missed Packets Count
This statistic describes the number of missed packets. Packets are missed when the hardware receive FIFO has insufficient space to store the incoming packet. This could be caused because of too few buffers allocated, because there is insufficient bandwidth on the IO bus, or because insufficient number of pause frames for flow control are sent (82544-based adapters only). These packets will also be counted in the Total Packets Received counter as well as in Total Octets Received. To attempt to lower the number of missed packets, add the following parameters at the end of the first load ce1000 command (This may be in the autoexec.ncf or typed in manually at the end of the command).

Highwm=0x8008 Lowwm=0x800 Pausetime=0X2000

Rx Sequence Error Count
This statistic describes receive sequence error events. This statistic will increment along with the Rx Symbol Error Count when the fiber cable is either disconnected or the connector is not seated completely.

Rx Symbol Error Count
This statistic describes the number of symbol errors between reads. The count increases for every bad symbol received, whether or not a packet is currently being received and whether or not the link is up. This statistic will increment along with the Rx Sequence Error Count when the fiber cable is either disconnected or the connector is not seated completely. Also, during driver load, this statistic will increment minimally.

Slot Width (bit)
(32 or 64 bits)
Determines the width of the PCI bus.

Total Octets Received HI
This statistic, in conjunction with the Total Octets Received LO, makes up a 64-bit counter that describes the total number of octets received. This statistic reflects the upper 32 bits of the 64-bit counter and is incremented each time the Total Octets Received LO has reached it maximum value and wraps to zero.

Total Octets Received LO
This statistic, in conjunction with the Total Octets Received HI, makes up a 64-bit counter that describes the total number of octets received. This statistic reflects the lower 32 bits of the 64-bit count.

Total Octets Transmitted HI
This statistic, in conjunction with the Total Octets Transmitted LO, makes up a 64-bit counter that describes the total number of octets received. This statistic reflects the upper 32 bits of the 64-bit counter and is incremented each time the Total Octets Transmitted LO has reached it maximum value and wraps to zero.

Total Octets Transmitted LO
This statistic, in conjunction with the Total Octets Transmitted HI, makes up a 64-bit counter that describes the total number of octets transmitted. This statistic reflects the lower 32 bits of the 64-bit count.

Total Packets Received
This statistic describes the total number of packets received. All packets are counted here, regardless of their length, whether they are erred, or whether they are flow control packets.

Total Packets Transmitted
This statistic describes the total number of packets transmitted. All packets transmitted will be counted here, regardless of their length, or whether they are flow control packets.

Tx Defer Count
This statistic describes transmit defer events. A defer event occurs when the transmitter cannot immediately send a packet due to the medium being busy either because another device is transmitting or the link is not up.

Tx DMA Underruns
This statistic counts the total number of transmit underruns seen by the transmitter. An underrun occurs when the device starts transmission of data before all of the data is DMAed to the packet buffer and the transmission process runs out of on-chip data before reaching the end of the packet. This may occur when the wire is much faster than the host interface and the Early Transmit Threshold is set too low. This statistic is invalid unless Early Transmits are enabled.

Tx Excessive Collisions Count
This statistic describes when 16 or more collisions have occurred on a packet. This counter increments only if the device is in half-duplex mode.

Tx Late Collisions Count
This statistic describes collisions that occur after 64 bytes times. This counter increments only if the device is in half-duplex mode.

Tx Multiple Collision
This statistic describes the number of times that a transmitted packet encountered more than one collision but less than 16. This counter increments only if the device is in half-duplex mode.

Tx Single Collision Count
This statistic describes the number of times that a transmitted packet encountered a single collision. This counter increments only if the device is in half-duplex mode.

Tx Threshold
Displays the current value of the Early Transmit Threshold. The adapter will start transmitting the packet when the specified number of quad-words has been DMAed in from memory.

Tx TOTAL Collision
This statistic describes the total number of collisions seen by the transmitter. This counter increments only if the device is in half-duplex mode.

Tx with No CRS
This statistic counts the number of successful packet transmission in which the Carrier Sense input from the PHY was not asserted within one slot time of start of transmission.
The PHY should assert Carrier Sense during every transmission. Failure to do so may indicate that the link has failed, or the PHY has an incorrect link configuration. This statistic is not valid in TBI mode, and is only valid when the device is operating at full duplex.

XOFF Received Count
This statistic describes the number of XOFF packets received. XOFF packets can occur when Flow Control is enabled and both the adapter and its link partner are configured to use it.

XOFF Transmitted Count
This statistic describes the number of XOFF packets transmitted. XOFF packets can occur when Flow Control is enabled and both the adapter and its link partner are configured to use it.

XON Received Count
This statistic describes the number of XON packets received. XON packets can occur when Flow Control is enabled and both the adapter and its link partner are configured to use it.

XON Transmitted Count
This statistic describes the number of XON packets transmitted. XON packets can occur when Flow Control is enabled and both the adapter and its link partner are configured to use it.
