dot3StatsInternalMacReceiveErrors
Module: EtherLike-MIB
OID (symbolic): EtherLike-MIB::dot3StatsInternalMacReceiveErrors
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.2.1.16
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter32
Access: read-only
Description: A count of frames for which reception on a particular interface fails due to an internal MAC sublayer receive error. A frame is only counted by an instance of this object if it is not counted by the corresponding instance of either the dot3StatsFrameTooLongs object, the dot3StatsAlignmentErrors object, or the dot3StatsFCSErrors object.
The precise meaning of the count represented by an instance of this object is implementation- specific. In particular, an instance of this object may represent a count of receive errors on a particular interface that are not otherwise counted.
For interfaces operating at 10 Gb/s, this counter can roll over in less than 5 minutes if
it is incrementing at its maximum rate. Since that amount of time could be less than a management station's poll cycle time, in order to avoid a loss of information, a management station is advised to poll the dot3HCStatsInternalMacReceiveErrors object for 10 Gb/s or faster interfaces.
Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at re-initialization of the management system, and at other times as indicated by the value of ifCounterDiscontinuityTime.
What is dot3StatsInternalMacReceiveErrors?
This counter counts frames that failed to be received correctly on this interface because of an internal MAC-sublayer receive error, excluding failures already attributed to oversized frames, alignment errors, or FCS errors. Like its transmit-side counterpart, admins use it as a catch-all indicator of receive-path hardware trouble on the Ethernet chip that isn't explained by the other, more specific error counters. For example, this counter rising while dot3StatsFCSErrors and dot3StatsAlignmentErrors stay flat points to an internal chipset receive fault rather than a wiring or framing issue.
