Port Statistics Data Window

Displays port performance data for the selected port.

The Port Statistics pull-down menu is available on the Port Statistics data window, and provides different ways to view detailed port information. Choose the down arrow to open the pull-down menu. Open the pull-down menu and select Absolute to view the total count of statistics since the last switch reset. Select Rate to view the number of statistics counted per second over the polling period. Select Baseline to view the total count of statistics since the last time the baseline was set. When viewing baseline statistics, choose the Clear Baseline button to set the current baseline.

Start Time | The beginning of the period over which the statistics apply. The start time for the Absolute view is not applicable. The start time for the Rate view is the beginning of polling interval. The start time for the Baseline view is the last time the baseline was set.
End Time | The last time the statistics were updated on the display.
Total Time | Total time period from start time to end time
In Frames | Number of frames received by this port

Busy Frames | Number of times the switch sent a P_BSY because Class 2 frame could not be delivered within ED_TOV time. 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.
Rejected Frames | Number of frames from devices that have been rejected
Sync Losses | Number of synchronization losses (>100 ms) detected by this port. A loss of synchronization is detected by receipt of an invalid transmission word.
Protocol Errors | Number of primitive sequence protocol errors. An error indicates that a sequence protocol violates the FC-2 signaling protocol.
Invalid Tx Words Recv | Number of invalid transmission words detected during decoding. Decoding is from the 10-bit characters and special K characters.
CRC Errors | Number of invalid Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) frames detected
Delimiter Errors | Number of delimiter errors detected. Delimiters, such as SOFc3 (start of frame, class 3), EOFn (end of frame), or others, are improper or invalid.
Address ID Errors | Number of address identifiers (S_ID, D_ID) found to be in error
Link Reset In | Number of link reset primitives received from an attached device
Link Reset Out | Number of link reset primitives sent from this port to an attached port
OLS In | Number of offline sequences received. An OLS is issued for link initialization, a Receive & Recognize Not_Operational (NOS) state, or to enter the offline state.
OLS Out | Number of offline sequences issued by this port. An OLS is issued for link initialization, a Receive & Recognize Not_Operational (NOS) state, or to enter the offline state. The switch may issue an OLS to perform offline diagnostics or to power down.
