Configuring FRUs

The configuration of field-replaceable units (FRUs) is an exception to the procedures described
thus far in this chapter. FRUs are monitored using state values, as opposed to the quantitative
values used to monitor the rest of the fabric. As a result of the qualitative nature of this monitoring,
the concept of thresholds does not apply.
NOTE
The Off state is applicable only to fans on some platforms, such as the Brocade DCX and Brocade
DCX-4S. The Off state is not applicable to the power supply, slot, or WWN FRUs.
1. Establish a Telnet connection with a switch.
2. Log in using administrative privileges.
3. Enter the fwFruCfg command at the command prompt.
84
Missing SFPs—Monitors the number of ports without SFPs.
Error Ports—Ports that are disabled because of segmentation, an authentication failure, port
fencing, or bottleneck detection.
