FW-1350
Message <timestamp>, [FW-1350], <sequence-number>,, WARNING, <system-name>, <Label>, is
above high boundary(High=<High value>, Low=<Low value>). Current value is <Value>
<Unit>.
Probable Cause Indicates that the number of invalid signatures has risen above the high boundary.
Invalid-signature violations indicate that a packet with an invalid signature has been received from
the primary fabric configuration server (FCS). When the primary FCS downloads a new
configuration to the other switches in the fabric, the packet is signed using the private key of the
primary FCS. The receiving switch has to verify this signature with the public key of the primary FCS
switch. If verification fails, it rejects the packet. This counter keeps track of the number of packets
received with invalid signatures.

Severity WARNING
FW-1352
Message <timestamp>, [FW-1352], <sequence-number>,, INFO, <system-name>, <Label>, value
has changed(High=<High value>, Low=<Low value>). Current value is <Value> <Unit>.
Probable Cause Indicates that the number of invalid certificates has changed. This violation indicates that a packet
with an invalid certificate has been received from the primary fabric configuration server (FCS).
Before a new primary FCS switch sends any configuration data to any switch in the fabric, it first
sends its certificate to all the switches in the fabric. The receiving switch has to verify that the
sender is the primary FCS switch and its certificate is signed by the Root CA recognized by the
receiving switch. This counter keeps track of the number of packets received with invalid
certificates.

Severity INFO
FW-1353
Message <timestamp>, [FW-1353], <sequence-number>,, INFO, <system-name>, <Label>, is
below low boundary(High=<High value>, Low=<Low value>). Current value is <Value>
<Unit>.
Probable Cause Indicates that the number of invalid certificates has fallen below the low boundary. This violation
indicates that a packet with an invalid certificate has been received from the primary fabric
configuration server (FCS). Before a new primary FCS switch sends any configuration data to any
switch in the fabric, it first sends its certificate to all the switches in the fabric. The receiving switch
has to verify that the sender is the primary FCS switch and its certificate is signed by the Root CA
recognized by the receiving switch. This counter keeps track of the number of packets received
with invalid certificates.
