Deployment Guide

On Domain 2, add a monitor to the F_Port as follows:
switch:admin> perfaddeemonitor 2/14 "0x021e00" "0x011200"
This monitor (Monitor 4) counts the frames that have an SID of 0x021e00 and a DID of 0x011200.
For Monitor 4, RX_COUNT is the number of words from Dev B to Host A, and TX_COUNT is the
number of words from Host A to Dev B.
The E_Port monitors are configured similar to the F_Port monitors, but the ingress and egress
directions are reversed.
For Monitor 2:
switch:admin> perfaddeemonitor 2/3 "0x021e00" "0x011200"
For Monitor 3:
switch:admin> perfaddeemonitor 2/13 "0x011200" "0x021e00"
Setting a mask for an EE monitor
End-to-end monitors count the number of words in Fibre Channel frames that match a specific SID and
DID pair. If you want to match only part of the SID or DID, you can set a mask on the port to compare
only certain parts of the SID or DID. By default, the frame must match the entire SID and DID to trigger
the monitor. By setting a mask, you can choose to have the frame match only one or two of the three
fields (domain ID, area ID, and AL_PA) to trigger the monitor.
You specify the masks in the form dd:aa:pp, where dd is the domain ID mask, aa is the area ID mask,
and pp is the AL_PA mask. The values for dd, aa, and pp are either ff (the field must match) or 00 (the
field is ignored). The default EE mask value is ff:ff:ff.
NOTE
Only one mask per port can be set. When you set a mask, all existing end-to-end monitors are deleted.
ATTENTION
End-to-end masks are supported only on the Brocade Encryption Switch.
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter the perfSetPortEEMask command.
perfsetporteemask [slotnumber/]portnumber "TxSIDMsk" "TxDIDMsk" "RxSIDMsk"
"RxDIDMsk"
The perfSetPortEEMask command sets the mask for all end-to-end monitors of a port. If any end-to-
end monitors are programmed on a port when the perfSetPortEEMask command is issued, then a
message displays similar to the following example:
switch:admin> perfsetporteemask 1/2, "00:ff:ff"
Changing EE mask for this port will cause ALL EE monitors on this port to be
deleted.
Continue? (yes, y, no, n): [no] y
The EE mask on port 2 is set and EE monitors on this port are deleted
The perfSetPortEEMask command sets a mask for the domain ID, area ID, and AL_PA of the SIDs
and DIDs for frames transmitted from and received by the port.
