FC Interface Monitor Frame Errors

The Monitor dialog boxes have special Monitor Dialog Controls.

Field

Description

InvalidCrcs

The number of invalid CRCs detected by the FC-Port. Loop ports should not count CRC errors passing through when monitoring.

ELPFailures

The number of Exchange Link Parameters Switch Fabric Internal Link service request failures detected by the FC-Port. This is applicable to only Interconnect_Port, which are E_Port or B_Port.

Frags

The number of fragmented frames received by the FC-port.

Runts

The number of frames received by the FC-port that are shorter than the minimum allowable frame length regardless if the CRC is good or not.

Jabbers

The number of frames received by the FC-port that are longer than a maximum frame length and also have a CRC error.

TooLongs

The number of frames received by the FC-port where the frame length was greater than what was agreed to in FLOGI/PLOGI. This could be caused by losing the end of frame delimiter.

TooShorts

The number of frames received by the FC-port where the frame length was less than the minimum indicated by the frame header (normally 24 bytes), but it could be more if the DFCTL field indicates an optional header should be present.

Unknowns

The number of unknown class frames received by FC-port.

EOFa

The number of frames received by FC-port with EOF aborts.

Framing

The number of framing errors. This denotes that the FC-port detected an inconsistency of frame structure.
