Table 5-5. Port Statistics Data Window Entries (Continued)
Entry
Number of invalid transmission words detected during
decoding. Decoding is from the 10-bit characters and special K
characters.
Number of E_Port logins.
Number of class 2 and class 3 fabric busy (F_BSY) frames
generated by this port in response to incoming frames. This
usually indicates a busy condition on the fabric or N_port that
is preventing delivery of this frame.
Number of times a frame is received and all the switch ports
receive buffers are full. The normal Fabric Login exchange of
flow control credit should prevent this from occurring. The
frame will be discarded.
Number of frames, from devices, that have been rejected.
Frames can be rejected for any of a large number of reasons.
Number of invalid Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) frames
detected.
Number of address identifier (S_ID, D_ID) errors. AL_PA
equals non-zero AL_PA found on F_Port.
Number of optical link failures detected by this port. A link
failure is a loss of synchronization or by loss of signal while not
in the offline state. A loss of signal causes the switch to
attempt to re-establish the link. If the link is not re-established,
a link failure is counted. A link reset is performed after a link
failure.
Number of F7, AL_PS LIPs, or AL_PD (vendor specific) resets,
performed.
This LIP is used to reinitialize the loop. An L_port, identified by
AL_PS, may have noticed a performance degradation and is
trying to restore the loop.
A loop initialization primitive frame used to acquire an AL_PA.
This LIP denotes a loop failure detected by the L_port
identified by AL_PS.
A loop initialization primitive frame used to indicate that a Loop
Failure has been detected at its receiver and does not have a
valid AL_PA.
Number of device logins that have occurred on the switch.
