Entry

Description

 

 

 

 

LIPF7F7

A loop initialization primitive frame used to acquire a valid

 

 

AL_PA.

 

LIPF8F7

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 for a period of time

 

 

greater than the value of R_T_TOV or by 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 by the time specified by R_T_TOV, a link

 

 

failure is counted. A link reset is performed after a link

 

 

failure.

 

Login

Time when user logged in.

 

Logout

Time when user logged out.

 

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.

 

EportConnects

Shows the count of the number of times an E_Port

 

 

connected through ISL negotiation.

 

RxLinkResets

Number of link reset primitives received from an attached

 

 

device.

 

RxOfflineSeq

Number of offline sequences received. An OLS is issued

 

 

for link initialization, a Receive & Recognize

 

 

Not_Operational (NOS) state, or to enter the offline state.

 

TotalErrors

Total number of errors detected.

 

TotalLIPsRecvd

Number of loop initialization primitive frames received by

 

 

this port.

 

TotalLinkResets

Total number of link reset primatives.

 

TotalOfflineSeq

Total number of Offline Sequences issued by this port.

 

TotalRxFrames

Total number of frames received by this port.

 

TotalRxWords

Total number of words received by this port.

 

TotalTxFrames

Total number of frames issued by this port.
