assuming the DH-CHAP passwords are configured both on the router and the edge
switch, the security type is displayed as “DH_CHAP”. DH-CHAP is the only
supported authentication type.
DH Group If the EX_Port is connected to an edge switch with no security, then the value is
“N/A”. If the edge switch is in secure mode, then the value, 0 through 4, is
displayed and is the negotiated value with the edge fabric. This value is not user
configurable.
Hash Algorithm If the EX_Port is connected to an edge switch with no security, then the value is
“N/A”. If the edge switch is in secure mode, then the hash algorithm type, MD5
or SHA-1, is displayed and is the negotiated value with the edge fabric. This value
is not user configurable.
Edge fabric’s primary WWN
If the EX_Port is connected to an edge switch with no security, then the value is
“N/A”. The WWN of the primary FCS is displayed when the edge fabric is secure
and the primary FCS is online. A value of “No Primary” is displayed if the edge
fabric is in secure mode but there is no primary FCS.
Edge fabric’s version stamp
If the EX_Port is connected to an edge switch with no security, then the value is
“N/A”. The version stamp, in string format, specifies the version of the security
database in the fabric and all switches must be the same, or else the port is
disabled.
After the general information, there are three columns of counters. The first column displays interrupt
statistics:
Interrupts Total number of interrupts.
Unknown Interrupts that are not counted elsewhere.
Lli Low-level interface (physical state, primitive sequences).
Proc_rqrd Frames delivered for embedded N_Port processing.
Timed_out Frames that have timed out.
Rx_flushed Frames requiring translation.
Tx_unavail Frames returned from an unavailable transmitter.
Free_buffer Free buffer available interrupts.
Overrun Buffer overrun interrupts.
Suspended Transmission suspended interrupts.
Parity_err Central memory parity errors.
2_parity_err Secondary Tx parity errors.
CMI_bus_err Control message interface errors.
The second column displays link error status block counters.
The third column displays the number of F_RJTs and F_BSYs generated. For L_Ports, the third column
also displays the number of loop initialization protocols (LIPs) received, number of LIPs transmitted, and
the last LIP received.
