etherStatsJabbers
Module: RMON-MIB
OID (symbolic): RMON-MIB::etherStatsJabbers
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.1.1.1.12
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter32
Access: read-only
Description: The total number of packets received that were longer than 1518 octets (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 this definition of jabber is different than the definition in IEEE-802.3 section 8.2.1.5 (10BASE5) and section 10.3.1.4 (10BASE2). These documents define jabber as the condition where any packet exceeds 20 ms. The allowed range to detect jabber is between 20 ms and 150 ms.
What is etherStatsJabbers?
This OID counts malformed Ethernet frames that are too long and have corrupted checksums (called jabbering frames). High counts indicate physical cable problems or faulty network cards sending garbage. A network administrator checks this to identify bad hardware that needs to be replaced before it corrupts other traffic.
