Networking Errors

A data packet that is shorter than the minimum frame size allowed by the networking protocol (64 bytes: Ethernet).

A data packet that is larger than the maximum frame size allowed by the networking protocol (1518 bytes: Ethernet).

A technique used to limit the amount of bandwidth that a particular device or application can use on a network.

The device that is sending data to the network interface cannot send data fast enough to keep up with the rate at which the network interface is transmitting the data.

The network interface is unable to transmit data to the network.

A data packet that is too large to be transmitted on the network.

Occurs when a data packet collides with another data packet after a certain amount of time has elapsed.

A device attempts to transmit data on the network but must wait because the network is busy.

Network interface loses the carrier signal from the other end of the connection.

Network interface is unable to detect the carrier signal from the other end of the connection.

Interface Down

Interface is full-duplex

Set the interface to be half-duplex or auto

High number of collisions

There is a bandwidth mismatch, or bandwidth negotiation is not working

Set the interface to correct bandwidth or restore to auto

High number of runts, giants, or late collisions

Interface is half-duplex

Set the interface to be full-duplex or auto
