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.
