reportsL2IfaceStatsFragments

Module: PRVT-SWITCH-MIB

OID (symbolic): PRVT-SWITCH-MIB::reportsL2IfaceStatsFragments

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.738.1.5.100.3.1.1.1.31

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: The total number of packets received that were less than 64 octets in length (excluding framing bits but including FCS octets) and had either a bad Frame Check Sequence (FCS) with an integral number of octets (FCS Error) or a bad FCS with a non-integral number of octets (Alignment Error).

Note that it is entirely normal for etherStatsFragments to increment. This is because it counts both runts (which are normal occurrences due to collisions) and noise hits.

What is reportsL2IfaceStatsFragments?

This counts packets under 64 octets that also had a bad FCS or alignment error; the MIB notes it's normal for this to increment somewhat since it captures both routine collision-related runts and general noise hits.
