SFP class areas
Table 9 lists Fabric Watch areas in the SFP class and describes each area.
NOTE
SFPs connected to GbE ports are not monitored.
Login Violation A login violation occurs when a secure fabric detects a login failure.
MS Violation An MS (Management Server) violation occurs when an access request reaches a
secure switch from an unauthorized WWN (World Wide Name). The WWN appears in
the ERRLOG.
No FCS The switch has lost contact with the primary FCS.
RSNMP Violation An RSNMP (Remote Simple Network Management Protocol) violation occurs when an
SNMP (simple network management protocol) get operation reaches a secure switch
from an unauthorized IP address.
SCC Violation An SCC violation occurs when an unauthorized switch tries to join a secure fabric. The
WWN of the unauthorized switch appears in the ERRLOG.
Serial Violation A serial violation occurs when a secure switch detects an unauthorized serial port
connection request.
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.
