Cisco Router: Ethernet deferred transmissions Health Monitor

Jalasoft.Xian.SmartManagementPacks.CiscoRouters.EthernetDeferredTransmissions.1.1 (AggregateMonitor)

This monitor catches Xian events that notifies when the Ethernet deferred transmissions if has changed its state.

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

Number of ethernet deferred transmissions is over threshold.

The number of frames that were delayed is above the maximum threshold configured in Xian Network Manager 2012.

Causes

The traffic load destined for this router is excessive and is causing the frames to be discarded.

Resolutions

Reduce the router load if you evidence an increasing number of packets in this field. You may need to modify your network topology to reduce the traffic load for this router.

Additional

Monitors the number of frames for which the first transmission attempt on a particular interface is delayed because the medium is busy. The count represented by an instance of this object does not include frames involved in collisions.
