SFP class areas
Table 9 lists Product Name areas in the SFP class and describes each area.
NOTE
SFPs connected to GbE ports are not monitored.
SES Violation An SES violation occurs when an SES (SCSI Enclosed Services) request reaches a
secure switch from an unauthorized WWN.
SLAP Bad Packets A SLAP (Switch Link Authentication Protocol) bad packets failure occurs when the
switch receives a bad SLAP packet. Bad SLAP packets include unexpected packets and
packets with incorrect transmission IDs.
SLAP Failures A SLAP failure occurs when packets try to pass from a nonsecure switch to a secure
fabric.
Telnet Violation A telnet violation occurs when a telnet connection request reaches a secure switch
from an unauthorized IP address.
TS Out of Sync A TS (Time Server) out-of-synchronization error has been detected.
WSNMP Violation A WSNMP violation occurs when an SNMP set operation reaches a secure switch from
an unauthorized IP address.
TABLE 9 SFP class areas
Area Description
Temperature The temperature area measures the physical temperature of the SFP, in degrees Celsius. A
high temperature indicates that the SFP might be in danger of damage.
Receive Power The receive power area measures the amount of incoming laser, in µwatts, to help determine
if the SFP is in good working condition. If the counter often exceeds the threshold, the SFP is
deteriorating.
Transmit Power The transmit power area measures the amount of outgoing laser, in µwatts. Use this to
determine the condition of the SFP. If the counter often exceeds the threshold, the SFP is
deteriorating.
Current The current area measures the amount of supplied current to the SFP transceiver. Current
area events indicate hardware failures.
Supply Voltage The supply voltage area measures the amount of voltage supplied to the SFP. If this value
exceeds the threshold, the SFP is deteriorating.
