Port Statistics data window

The Port Statistics data window displays statistics about port performance. Select one or more ports in the faceplate display that you want to view statistics. Click the Port Stats data window tab to open the Port Statistics window. Table 22 describes the Port Statistics data window entries.

The Statistics drop-down list is available on the Port Statistics data window, and provides different ways to view detailed port information. Click the down arrow to open the drop-down list. Open the drop-down list and select Absolute to view the total count of statistics since the last switch or port reset. Select Rate to view the number of statistics counted per second over the polling period. Select Baseline to view the total count of statistics since the last time the baseline was set. Click Clear Baseline to set the current baseline when viewing baseline statistics. The baseline will also be set when the switch status changes from unreachable to reachable.

Table 22 Port Statistics data window entries

Entry	Description
Start Time	The beginning of the period over which the statistics apply. The
	start time for the Absolute view is not applicable. The start time
	for the Rate view is the beginning of polling interval. The start
	time for the Baseline view is the last time the baseline was set.
End Time	The last time the statistics were updated on the display
Total Time	Total time period from start time to end time
Al Init	Number of times the port entered the initialization state
AL Init Error	Number of times the port entered initialization and the
	initialization failed. Increments count when port has a sync loss
Bad Frames	Number of frames that were truncated due to a loss of sync or
	the frame didn't end with an EOF
Class 2 Frames In	Number of class 2 frames received by this port
Class 2 Frames Out	Number of class 2 frames transmitted by this port
Class 2 Words In	Number of class 2 words received by this port
Class 2 Words Out	Number of class 2 words transmitted by this port
Class 3 Frames In	Number of class 3 frames received by this port
Class 3 Frames Out	Number of class 3 frames transmitted by this port
Class 3 Toss	Number of class 3 frames that were discarded by this port. A
	frame can be discarded because of detection of a missing frame
	(based on SEQ_CNT), detection of an E_D_TOV timeout,
	receiving a reject frame, or receiving a frame on an offline port.
Class 3 Words In	Number of class 3 words received by this port
Class 3 Words Out	Number of class 3 words transmitted by this port
Decode Errors	Number of invalid transmission words detected during decoding.
	Decoding is from the 10-bit characters and special K characters.
Ep Connects	Number of E_Port logins
FBusy	Number of class 2 and class 3 fabric busy (F_BSY) frames
	generated by this port in response to incoming frames. This
	usually indicates a busy condition on the fabric or N_port that is
	preventing delivery of this frame.
