	Entry		Description

	FBusy		Number of times the switch sent a F_BSY because Class 2
			frame could not be delivered within ED_TOV time. 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.
	Flowerrors		Received a frame when there were no available credits.
	FReject		Number of frames from devices that were rejected.
	InvalidCRC		Invalid CRC detected.
	InvalidDestAddr		Invalid destination address detected.
	LIP_AL_PD_ALPS		Number of F7, AL_PS LIPs, or AL_PD (vendor specific)
			resets, performed.
	LIP_F7_AL_PS		This LIP is used to reinitialize the loop. An L_Port,
			identified by AL_PS, may have noticed a performance
			degradation and is trying to restore the loop.
	LIP_F8_AL_PS		This LIP denotes a loop failure detected by the L_Port
			identified by AL_PS.
	LIP_F7_F7		A loop initialization primitive frame used to acquire a valid
			AL_PA.
	LIP_F8_F7		A loop initialization primitive frame used to indicate that a
			loop failure has been detected at the receiver.
	Link Failures		Number of optical link failures detected by this port. A link
			failure is a loss of synchronization or a loss of signal while
			not in the offline state. A loss of signal causes the switch to
			attempt to re-establish the link. If the link is not
			re-established, a link failure is counted. A link reset is
			performed after a link failure.
	Login		Number of device logins
	Logout		Number of device logouts
	LoopTimeouts		A two (2) second timeout as specified by FC-AL-2.
	LossOfSync		Number of synchronization losses (>100 ms) detected by
			this port. A loss of synchronization is detected by receipt of
			an invalid transmission word.
	PrimSeqErrors		Primitive sequence errors detected.
