Port Statistics Data Window

Displays switch details and performance data for selected ports. To open the Port Statistics data window, click the Port Statistics tab below the data window in the faceplate display.

 

The Port Statistics pull-down menu (between switch graphic and data windows) is available on the Port Statistics data window, and provides different ways to view detailed port information. Choose the down arrow to open the pull-down menu and select Absolute to view the total count of statistics since the last switch reset. Select Rate to view the number of statistics counted per second over the polling period. Select Baseline to view the total count of statistics since the last time the baseline was set. When viewing baseline statistics, choose the Clear Baseline button to set the current baseline.

 

Start Time

The beginning of the period over which the statistics apply. The start time for the Absolute view is not applicable. The start time for the Rate view is the beginning of polling interval. The start time for the Baseline view is the last time the baseline was set.

End Time

The last time the statistics were updated on the display.

Total Time

Total time period from start time to end time

Login Count

Number of logins that have occurred on the switch

Logout Count

Number of logouts that have occurred on the switch

Al Init Count

Number of times the port entered the initialization state.

Invalid Destination Address

Number of address identifier (S_ID, D_ID) errors. AL_PA equals 0 on FL_Port or non-zero AL_PA found on F_Port.

Total LIP Received

Number of loop initialization primitive frames received

LIP F7F7 Count

A loop initialization primitive frame used to acquire an AL_PA

LIP F8F7 Count

Currently not used

LIP F7AIPs Count

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 F8AIPs Count

This LIP denotes a loop failure detected by the L_port identified by AL_PS

LIP AIPdAIPs Count

Number of F7, AL_PS LIPs, or AL_PD (vendor specific) resets performed.

AL Init Errors

Number of times the port entered initialization and the initialization failed. Increments count when port has a sync loss.

Class 2 In Frames

Number of class 2 frames received by this port

Class 2 Out Frames

Number of class 2 frames transmitted by this port

Class 2 Words In

Number of class 2 words received by this port

Class 2 Words Out

Number of class 2 words transmitted by this port

Class 3 In Frames

Number of class 3 frames received by this port

Class 3 Out Frames

Number of class 3 frames transmitted by this port

Class 3 Words In

Number of class 3 words received by this port

Class 3 Words Out

Number of class 3 words transmitted by this port

Decode Error Count

Number of invalid transmission words detected during decoding. Decoding is from the 10-bit characters and special K characters.

Loss Of Sync Count

Number of synchronization losses (>100 ms) detected by this port. A loss of synchronization is detected by receipt of an invalid transmission word.

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 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.

Primitive Sequence Errors

Number of bad primitives received by the port

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

Total Link Resets

Number of link-reset primitives the transmitted by the port

Total Offline Sequences

Total number of offline sequences transmitted and received by the port

Flow Error Count

receive buffers are full. The normal Fabric Login exchange of

flow control credit should prevent this from occurring. The

frame will be discarded.

E_Port Connections

Number of E_Port logins

Framing Errors
