Entry

 

Description

 

 

 

 

FBusy

Number of times the switch sent a P_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 ALPD ALPS

Number of F7, AL_PS LIPs, or AL_PD

 

 

(vendor specific) resets, performed.

 

LIPF7ALPS

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.

 

LIPF8ALPS

This LIP denotes a loop failure detected by

 

 

the L_port identified by AL_PS.

 

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.
