Chapter 10 Configuring Fibre Channel Interfaces
Verifying Fibre Channel Interfaces
Verifying SFP Transmitter Types
The SPF transmitter type can be displayed for a physical Fibre Channel interface (but not for a virtual
Fibre Channel).
The small form-factor pluggable (SFP) hardware transmitters are identified by their acronyms when
displayed.
To display the SFP types for an interface using Fabric Manager, perform this task:
Step 1 In the Physical Attributes pane, expand Switches > Interfaces, and then choose FC Physical.
You see the interface configuration in the Information pane.
Step 2 Click the Physical tab to see the transmitter type for the selected interface.
Obtaining Interface Statistics
You can use Fabric Manager or Device Manager to collect interface statistics on any switch. These
statistics are collected at intervals that you can set.
Note In Fabric Manager, you can collect interface statistics by expanding Switches > ISLs and selecting
Statistics from the Physical Attributes pane.
To obtain and display interface counters using Device Manager, perform this task:
Step 1 Right-click an interface and choose Monitor in the Interface menu and choose Ethernet Enabled or FC
Enabled.
You see the Interface Monitor dialog box.
Step 2 Set both the number of seconds at which you want to poll the interface statistics and how you want the
data represented in the Interval drop-down menus. For example, click 10s and LastValue/sec.
Step 3 Click any tab shown in Figure 10-5 to view those related statistics.

Step 5 (Optional) Click the Save icon to save the gathered statistics to a file or click the Print icon to print the
statistics.
