perfSetPortEEMask

perfSetPortEEMask
Sets the overall mask for end-to-end (EE) performance monitors.
Synopsis perfsetporteemask [slotnumber/]portnumber "TxSIDMsk " "TxDIDMsk " "RxSIDMsk" "RxDIDMsk"
Description Use this command to set the mask for an end-to-end (EE) performance monitor. This command
allows selecting the Fibre Channel frames for which to collect performance statistics. When setting
the EE mask on a port, all existing EE monitors on that port are deleted.
This command controls all three address fields (Domain ID, Area ID, and AL_PA ID) of both the
source ID and destination ID, which can be used to trigger the monitor.
The address mask is of the form "dd:aa:pp", where "dd" is the Domain ID mask, "aa" is the Area ID
mask, and "pp" is AL_PA ID mask.
Specify the following values to turn a specific field on or off:
The default EE mask value is 0xffffff.
When a mask is set (0xff), the corresponding field triggers the monitor. If the mask is unset (0x00),
the corresponding field is ignored.
For example, "00:ff:00" uses only the Area ID to trigger the EE monitor.
There is only one EE mask per port. The mask is applied to all eight EE monitors available on a port.
The default EE mask value upon power-on is already set. When ISL monitoring is enabled, the EE
mask on E_Ports is controlled automatically and existing mask values for E_Ports are over-written.
Notes This command requires an Advanced Performance Monitoring license.
This command is not supported on virtual FC ports (VE/VEX_Port), EX_Port, M (Mirror) ports and
GbE ports.
On the Brocade FC4-48, the Area ID address field and the AL_PA ID address field must be masked
together. On this blade, one bit of the AL_PA ID address field is used with the Area ID address field
to identify the upper 32 ports. For example, ports 128 and 256 may be addressed on Domain ID
"dd" with Area ID "aa" as "dd:aa:00" and "dd:aa:80" respectively. If the Area ID and AL_PA ID
address fields are masked separately, the switch cannot track frames sent to the upper 32 ports
deterministically, and this command returns the message that
be masked together."
The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may
be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS commands" and Appendix A, "Command
Availability" for details.
Operands This command has the following operands:
slotnumber
portnumber
516
00 Specifies that the field does not trigger EE monitors.
ff Specifies that the field does trigger EE monitors.
For bladed systems only, this operand specifies the slot number of the port
on which the monitor is to be updated, followed by a slash (/).
Specifies the number of the port on which the EE mask is to be updated,
relative to its slot for bladed systems. Use switchShow for a list of valid ports.
