This Gauge32, held on the ComPort, counts Ethernet frames received with framing errors during the current 15-minute period. Framing errors point to a physical-layer problem on the local Ethernet segment, such as a marginal cable or connector, rather than an issue further upstream on the cable plant. For example, a technician would check whether stuCurrEtherFramErrs is elevated before dispatching a truck roll to inspect the subscriber's Ethernet patch cable and connectors.
