Viewing Port Errors
The switch keeps track of errors for each port and automatically refreshes the display (this is the default behavior). You can also display a snapshot of the port errors at the time you issue the command and view the output in a page-by-page mode. This setting is not saved; therefore, you must specify the no-refresh parameter each time you want a snapshot of the port errors.

View port transmit errors with the following
command:
show ports {port_list | stack-ports stacking-port-list} txerrors {no-refresh}
The switch collects the following port transmit error information:
- Port Number—The number of the port.
- Link State—The current state of the link. Options are:
- Active (A)—The link is present at this port.
- Ready (R)—The port is ready to accept a link.
- Loopback (L)—The port is configured for WANPHY loopback.
- Transmit Collisions (TX Coll)—The total number of collisions seen by the port, regardless of whether a device connected to the port participated in any of the collisions.
- Transmit Late Collisions (TX Late Coll)—The total number of collisions that have occurred after the port‘s transmit window has expired.
- Transmit Deferred Frames (TX Deferred)—The total number of frames that were transmitted by the port after the first transmission attempt was deferred by other network traffic.
- Transmit Errored Frames (TX Errors)—The total number of frames that were not completely transmitted by the port because of network errors (such as late collisions or excessive collisions).
- Transmit Lost Frames (TX Lost)—The total number of transmit frames that do not get completely transmitted because of buffer problems (FIFO underflow).
- Transmit Parity Frames (TX Parity)—The bit summation has a parity mismatch.
-
View port receive errors with the command:
show ports {port_list | stack-ports stacking-port-list} rxerrors {no-refresh}
The switch collects the following port receive error information:
- Port Number
-
Link State—The current state of the link. Options are:
- Active (A)—The link is present at this port.
- Ready (R)—The port is ready to accept a link.
- Loopback (L)—The port is in Loopback mode.
- Receive Bad CRC Frames (RX CRC)—The total number of frames received by the port that were of the correct length but contained a bad FCS value.
- Receive Oversize Frames (RX Over)—The total number of good frames received by the port greater than the supported maximum length of 1,522 bytes.
- Receive Undersize Frames (RX Under)—The total number of frames received by the port that were less than 64 bytes long.
- Receive Fragmented Frames (RX Frag)—The total number of frames received by the port that were of incorrect length and contained a bad FCS value.
- Receive Jabber Frames (RX Jabber)—The total number of frames received by the port that were greater than the support maximum length and had a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) error.
- Receive Alignment Errors (RX Align)—The total number of frames received by the port with a CRC error and not containing an integral number of octets.
- Receive Frames Lost (RX Lost)—The total number of frames received by the port that were lost because of buffer overflow in the switch.

For SummitStack stacking ports, you can also view transmit
and receive errors with the following commands:
show ports stack-ports stacking-port-list}txerrors {no-refresh}show ports stack-ports {stacking-port-list}rxerrors {no-refresh}Information displayed is identical to the details displayed for non-stacking ports.
