Description
Tracks the cumulative number of segmentation changes. Segmentation changes occur
because of one of the following:
•
Zone conflicts.
•
Incompatible link parameters. During E_Port and VE_Port initialization, ports
exchange link parameters, and incompatible parameters result in segmentation.
This is a rare event.
•
Domain conflicts.
•
Segmentation of the principal link between two switches.
Indicates whether the state of the SFP is normal or faulty, on or off. A faulty or off state
means that you must reinsert, turn on, or replace the SFP. Fabric Watch monitors only
the digital diagnostic SFP.
Note: SFPs connected to GbE ports are not monitored.
Tracks the number of zone changes. Because zoning is a security provision, frequent
zone changes might indicate a security breach or weakness. Zone change messages
occur whenever there is a change in zone configurations.
