To monitor activity on a repeater port, on the CiscoView Monitor Port window, select Repeater Port from the CATEGORY popup menu. The CiscoView Monitor Port window displays the following information:

Readable Frames (rptrMonitorPortReadableFrames)

Number of frames of valid frame length that have been received on this port.

Error %

Percentage of error traffic on this port, using the following formula:

rptrMonitorPortTotalErrors / (rptrMonitorPortTotalErrors + rptrMonitorPortReadableFrames + 1) * 100

Collisions (rptrMonitorPortCollisions)

Number of collisions detected on this port.

Runts (rptrMonitorPortRunts)

Number of runts (usually caused by collision fragments) detected on this port.

Auto Partitions (rptrMonitorPortAutoPartitions)

Number of times the repeater has automatically partitioned this port.

FCS Errors (rptrMonitorPortFCSErrors)

Number of Frame Check Sequence (FCS) errors detected on this port.

Alignment Errors (rptrMonitorPortAlignmentErrors)

Number of alignment errors detected on this port.

Frame Too Longs (rptrMonitorPortFrameTooLongs)

Number of frames detected on this port whose octet count is greater than the maximum frame size.

Short Events (rptrMonitorPortShortEvents)

Number of carrier events detected on this port whose activity duration is less than the minimum event time.

Late Events (rptrMonitorPortLateEvents)

Number of carrier events detected on this port that return collisions after the late event threshold time.

Very Long Events (rptrMonitorPortVeryLongEvents)

Number of carrier events detected on this port whose activity duration is too long.

Data Rate Mismatches (rptrMonitorPortDataRateMismatches)

Number of data rate mismatch errors detected on this port.

Click Grapher to launch your network manager's graphing application (if appropriate). Note that to get accurate statistics for a repeater port in the Grapher window, you must set its community string appropriately in your network management platform. Alternatively, you can use Cisco's TrafficDirector application to get full traffic statistics for any port.
