Description: The total number of errors which have occurred on

this port. This counter is the summation of the

values of other error counters (for the same

port), namely:

chipRptrMonitorPortFCSErrors,

chipRptrMonitorPortAlignmentErrors,

chipRptrMonitorPortFrameTooLongs,

chipRptrMonitorPortShortEvents,

chipRptrMonitorPortLateEvents,

chipRptrMonitorPortVeryLongEvents, and

chipRptrMonitorPortDataRateMismatches.

This counter is redundant in the sense that it is

the summation of information already available

through other objects. However, it is included

specifically because the regular retrieval of this

object as a means of tracking the health of a port

provides a considerable optimization of network

management traffic over the otherwise necessary

retrieval of the summed counters.
