Hi Randy, This Knowledge Base topic should explain how interface errors are calculated:
http://forums.dartware.com/viewtopic.php?t=623&highlight=discards This information is obtained directly from the SNMP agent on the device. You can confirm what the device is reporting by running an SNMPWalk on the device using the 'SNMPWALK' contextual menu item. You can then copy/paste the output into an email to [email protected] and we can have a look at it for you. Please do this at the time of the reported errors, and include the status window output for the interface in question as well. Thanks.
