Table 6-5. Port Statistics Data Window Entries (Continued)

Entry

Description

 

 

Invalid CRC Count

Number of invalid Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) frames

 

detected.

Tx Wait Count

Number of times the port entered a wait state because it didn't

 

receive credit to transmit from the attached device.

Class 3 Toss Count

Number of class 2 and class 3 sequences that were discarded

 

by this port. A sequence 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, receiving

 

frames for a stopped sequence, or other causes.

FReject Count

Number of frames, from devices, that have been rejected.

 

Frames can be rejected for any of a large number of reasons.

FBusy Count

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.

Link Failures

Number of optical link failures detected by this port. A link

 

failure is a loss of synchronization 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,

 

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

 

failure.

Primitive Sequence

Number of bad primitives received by the port.

Errors

 

Rx Link Resets

Number of link reset primitives received from an attached

 

device.

Tx Link Resets

Number of link reset primitives sent from this port to an

 

attached port.

Rx Offline Sequences

Number of offline sequence primitives received by the port.

Tx Offline Sequences

Number of offline primitives transmitted by the port.

Total Errors

Total number of primitive and non-primitive port link errors.

Total Tx Frames

Total number of frames transmitted by the port.

Total Rx Frames

Total number of frames received by the port.

Total Tx Words

Total number of words transmitted by the port.

Total Rx Words

Total number of words received by the port.
