Which numbers do I have to compare. Not sure about Error RX field and others

Any expert in CatOS?

You have a counter for total packets (TX + RX) and a counter for packets received with error. It would be nice if there were a counter that gave total received packets so that you could calculate what percentage of receive packets are with error. But we do not have that counter. So calculate the percentage of total packets that are received in error. When I do the calculation it looks like almost 15% of total packets are packets received with error. To me that is a high percentage and I am not sure that I would say that it was ok.
