An error only the switch sees, counted on XGS: Ports, 2026-10-20

Port1 to Port8 and two of the cages hang off an 88E6193X switch on both families. A frame that switch takes in with a bad checksum, too short or too long, or drops, is never handed on: the host's interface counters do not see it and neither do the coprocessor's. The switch counts it itself, in its RMON counters, and nothing read them until today.

The whole page, with how it was taken and what it does not show: An error only the switch sees, counted on XGS: Ports, 2026-10-20.
