Brocade Communications Systems SN3000B Command Reference Manual page 397

This command requires an Advanced Performance Monitoring license. A Fabric Watch license is
optional. Without a Fabric Watch license, you cannot use the alert mechanism, but you can still configure
frame monitors and observe the counters.
This command is not supported on virtual FC ports (VE/VEX_Port), EX_Port, mirror ports, GbE ports,
and FCoE ports.

Fabric OS Command Reference
53-1001764-01
Creates a user-defined frame type to be monitored. A frame type is defined by a
unique name and bit pattern.
Modifies an existing frame type configuration.
frame_type
Specifies a name for the frame type. The name is a user-defined string of up to 10
characters. Strings exceeding the character limit are truncated. The string must be
included in double quotation marks. Spaces are not permitted. This operand is
required with all configuration and display options.
Use the --change option to modify an existing frame type that you created earlier
by changing, for example, the bit pattern, the ports where the frames should be
monitored, or the alert mechanism. You can also use the --change option to
modify one of the predefined frame types supported with this command. You can
modify the ports where the frames should be monitored or change the default
threshold and alert mechanism. You cannot change the bit pattern of a predefined
frame type.
Predefined frame types include the following:
ABTS
Specifies a frame of type ABTS (Abort Sequence Basic Link Service
command) with a bit pattern of "4,0xff,0x81;12,0xff,0x00; 20,0xff,0x00;"
BA_ACC
Specifies a frame of type BA_ACC (Abort Accept) with a bit pattern of "4,0xff,
0x84;12,0xff,0x00;"
IP
Specifies a frame of type IP with a bit pattern of "12,0xFF,0x05;".
SCSI
Specifies a frame of type SCSI with a bit pattern of "12,0xFF,0x08;".
SCSI_READ
Specifies a frame of type SCSI Read with a bit pattern of
"12,0xFF,0x08;4,0xFF,0x06; 40,0xFF,0x08,0x28;".
SCSI_WRITE
Specifies a frame of type SCSI Write with a bit pattern of
"12,0xFF,0x08;4,0xFF,0x06; 40,0xFF,0x08,0x0A,0x2A;".
SCSI_RW
Specifies a frame of type SCSI Write with a bit pattern of
"12,0xFF,0x08;4,0xFF,0x06; 40,0xFF,0x08,0x28,0x0A,0x2A;".
SCSI2_RESERVE
Specifies a frame of type SCSI-2 Reserve with a bit pattern of
"12,0xFF,0x08;4,0xFF, 0x06;40,0xFF,0x16,0x56;".
SCSI3_RESERVE
Specifies a frame of type SCSI-3 Reserve with a bit pattern of
"12,0xFF,0x08;4,0xFF,0x06; 40,0xFF,0x5F;41,0xFF,0x01;".
