18 Fabric Watch concepts
SFP class areas
Table 10 lists Fabric Watch areas in the SFP class and describes each area.
Invalid Signatures If a switch cannot verify the signature of a packet, the switch rejects
the packet and the signature becomes invalid.
Invalid Timestamps If a time interval becomes too great from the time a packet is sent to
the time it is received, the timestamp of the packet becomes invalid
and the switch rejects it.
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 SCSI Enclosed Services (SES) request
reaches a secure switch from an unauthorized WWN.
SLAP Bad Packets A Switch Link Authentication Protocol (SLAP) 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 10 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.
