Table
Parameter | Defines the... |
|
|
FIRE Fabric Port | Fabric port associated with the Layer 3 module. The switch has |
| 13 fabric ports. Each module slot uses two fabric ports with the |
| exception of the supervisor module slot which uses one fabric |
| port. Hence, the supervisor module slot uses fabric port 1, the |
| next media module slot uses fabric ports 2 and 3, and so on. |
|
|
L3 Total (T2) | Total number of frames received on the fabric port. |
|
|
L3 Frame Cache Hits | Number of packets received on the fabric port that were |
| successfully matched against existing forwarding entries in the |
| Layer 3 (L3) address cache. |
|
|
Percent Cache Hits | Total percentage of successful matches between packets |
| received on a fabric port and the percent of those packets that |
| matched the Layer 3 address cache entries. |
|
|
L3 Slow Path Frames | Number of frames received on a fabric port that were not |
| successfully matched against existing forwarding entries in the |
| Layer 3 (L3) address cache. Subsequently, these frames were |
| forwarded to the supervisor module (slow path). All frames |
| sent to the supervisor module are routed in software. |
|
|
Percent Slow Path | Total percentage of unsuccessful matches between packets |
| received on a fabric port and the percent of those packets that |
| did not match the Layer 3 address cache entries. |
|
|
L3 Drop Frames | Number of Layer 3 frames that were dropped because they did |
| not match the Layer 3 address cache entries. |
|
|
Percent Drops | Total percent of Layer 3 frames dropped. |
|
|
RX Frame Count (T2) | Total number of frames received on a fabric port. |
|
|
L2 Frame Count (T2) | Number of Layer 2 frames received on a fabric port that were |
| forwarded on to an associated VLAN. |
|

To search the L3 address cache:
1.In the L3 Forwarding Cache section of the Web Agent window, click Entry Search. The Route Cache Entry Search dialog box opens.
2.Select the search criteria you want to use to find more specific information on available routes. For example, if you want to find all entries in the routing cache that contain a VLAN entry of vlan_10.0.1.1, you would search by VLAN and specify vlan_10.0.1.1 as your search value.
