perfAddEEMonitor
Adds an end-to-end monitor to a port.
Synopsis perfaddeemonitor [slotnumber/]portnumber SourceID DestID
Description Use this command to add an end-to-end performance monitor to a port. The performance monitor
counts the number of words received, number of words transmitted, and number of CRC errors
detected using either of the following two conditions:
For frames received at the port, the frame SID is the same as SourceID and frame DID is the same
as DestID, both RX_COUNT and CRC_COUNT will be updated accordingly.
For frames transmitted from the port, the frame DID is the same as SourceID and frame SID is the
same as DestID, both TX_COUNT and CRC_COUNT will be updated accordingly.
To monitor traffic from host A to device B, add a monitor on port 2, specifying 0x050200 as the SID
and 0x010100 as the DID. The RX count equals the number of words from host A to device B,
whereas the TX count equals the number of words from device B to host A. The CRC count equals
the total number of CRC errors for both directions. Adding a monitor on port 1, specifying
0x010100 as SID and 0X050200 as the DID has a similar effect, except the RX and TX counts are
interchanged.
If ISL monitoring is enabled, end-to-end monitors cannot be added to E_Ports. Existing end-to-end
monitors on E_Ports are deleted.
Identical monitors cannot be added to the same port. Two monitors are considered identical if they
have the same SID and DID values after applying the end-to-end mask.
After a successful execution of this command, a monitor number is displayed. The monitor number
is provided for manipulation of these performance monitors.
Notes This command requires a Brocade Advanced Performance Monitoring license.
This command is not supported on virtual FC ports (VE/VEX_Port), EX_Port, M (Mirror) ports and
GbE ports.
The execution of this command is subject to Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place.
Operands This command has the following operands:
slotnumber
portnumber
SourceID
DestID
380
For bladed systems only, this operand specifies the slot number of the port
on which the monitor is to be added, followed by a slash (/).
Specifies the number of the port on which the monitor is to be added, relative
to its slot for bladed systems. Use switchShow for a list of valid ports.
Specify the 3-byte SID (Source ID) of the originator device. It should be in
"0xDDAAPP" format, where DD is domain ID, AA is area ID and PP is AL_PA ID.
For example, 0x050200 has a domain ID of 5, an area ID of 2, and an AL_PA
ID of 0. SourceID and DestID both cannot be 0x000000.
Specify the 3-byte DID (destination ID) of the destination device. It should be
in "0xDDAAPP" format, where DD is domain ID, AA is area ID and PP is AL_PA
ID. For example, 0x050200 has a domain ID of 5, an area ID of 2, and an
AL_PA ID of 0. SourceID and DestID both cannot be 0x000000.
