Interface Errors

Interface Errors report reveals packet discard count (specially due to error) for network interfaces associated with each device or device group you specify. Packets can be routinely discarded due to policy, hardware faults, and network outages. Interface Errors reports reveal an error-specific fraction of the total packet discard count reported in the Interface Discards report. At the network interface, discards due to error typically occur when a CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) or packet header inspection returns unexpected results.
