Ethernet Port Statistics Data Window Entries Entry 68 Description Start Time The beginning of the period over which the statistics apply.
Managing Ports Port Statistics Data Windows Table 3-16. Ethernet Port Statistics Data Window Entries (Continued) Entry 59273-00 C Description Class 3 Toss Number of class 3 frames that were discarded by this port. A frame can be discarded because of detection of a missing frame (based on SEQ_CNT), detection of an E_D_TOV timeout, receiving a reject frame, or receiving a frame on an offline port. Decode Errors Number of invalid transmission words detected during decoding.

To open the Port Information data window, click the Port Info data window tab. Figure 3-38. Port Information Data Window Information in the Port Information data window is grouped and viewed by the Summary, Advanced, and Media buttons. Click a button to display the corresponding information in the data window on the right.
Managing Ports Port Information Data Window Table 3-17. Port Information Data Window Entries Entry Description Summary Group 72 Port Address N/A - does not apply to this switch Administrative Port Type The administrative port type (TF, TH, and PT). This value is persistent; it will be maintained during an H3C LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card reset. During port auto-configuration, it will be used to determine which operational port states are allowed.
Managing Ports Port Information Data Window Table 3-17. Port Information Data Window Entries (Continued) Entry Description Operational Port Speed The speed actually being used by the port. Port Speed Supported The TF port speeds supported are:2Gbps, 4Gbps, and 8Gbps. The speed supported for TH and PT ports is 10Gbps.

Managing Ports Viewing and Configuring Ports Port Transceiver Media Status Device Scan DCBX PFC Priority The port settings or characteristics are configured using the Port Properties dialog (Figure 3-40). To open the Port Properties dialog, select one or more ports, open the Port menu and select Port Properties. Figure 3-40.
Managing Ports Viewing and Configuring Ports Port States The port operational state refers to actual port state and not the administrative state you may have assigned. Refer to ”External Port Operational States” on page 3-76 and ”Internal Port Operational States” on page 3-77 for port operational state information. The port administrative state refers to the user-requested state. Port administrative states have two forms: the configured administrative state and the current administrative state.
Managing Ports Viewing and Configuring Ports Internal Port Operational States The operational states on the internal ports in the faceplate display are described in Table 3-19. Table 3-19. Internal Port Operational States State Description Logged In — DCBX enabled. The Port SyncStatus has been acquired, and Port Link State is "Active".
Managing Ports Viewing and Configuring Ports Port Administrative States The port administrative state determines the operational state of a port. The port administrative state has two forms: the configured administrative state and the current administrative state. Configured administrative state — the state that is saved in the H3C LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card configuration and is preserved across H3C LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card resets. QuickTools always makes changes to the configured administrative state.
Managing Ports Viewing and Configuring Ports Port Types The 4 external ports connect to fabrics and can be configured as Transparent Fabric (TF) or Pass-thru (PT) ports. The 4 internal ports connect to servers and can be configured as Transparent Host (TH) or Pass-thru (PT) ports. See ”Mapping Ports” on page 3-83 for more information. To display port type status, open the View menu, and select View Port Types. Table 3-21 lists the possible port types and their meanings.
Managing Ports Viewing and Configuring Ports Port Speeds The external ports can support 1Gbps, 2Gbps, 4Gbps, or 8Gbps. Internal ports are 10Gbps and can not be changed. Auto-detect is not an option on internal ports. To display the speed of each port, open the View menu and select View Port Speeds. Table 3-22 lists the possible port speeds. To change the port transmission speed, do the following: 1. Select one or more ports in the faceplate display. 2.

Managing Ports Testing Ports Testing Ports Offline port diagnostic tests are available for external ports (0–3) and internal ports (4–7). Offline tests disrupt data traffic. Performing an offline test automatically places the port in diagnostics mode, and then the port is reset after the test is complete. There are two types of offline port tests: internal and external. An internal test sends a test frame from the ASIC through the SerDes chip and back to the ASIC for the selected port.
Managing Ports Mapping Ports 4. Select the test type from the Select Test Type drop-down list. Select Internal to test the internal port connections. Select External to test the port and the SFP. You must install an SFP transceiver and a loopback plug in the port for this test. 5. Enter a frame size (default is 256). 6. Enable or disable the Terminate Test Upon Error option. 7. Select a Loop Count option. The Loop Forever option runs the test until you click the Stop Test button.
Managing Ports Mapping Ports Using the Map Ports dialog, you can assign a TH port to multiple TF ports. For redundancy purposes, a backup port mapping can also be specified. To open the Map Ports dialog (Figure 3-42) open the Port menu, and select Map Ports. Leaving a TH port unmapped has the same effect as unplugging a Fibre Channel cable. You can map multiple primary and backup ports for any TH port. A port designated as primary will be the first path chosen.
Glossary Active Firmware The firmware image on the H3C LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card that is in use. Activity LED A port LED that indicates when frames are entering or leaving the port. Administrative State State that determines the operating state of the port or H3C LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card. The configured administrative state is stored in the H3C LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card configuration. The configured administrative state can be temporarily overridden using the command line interface.
