Phy Errors
Select the Phy Errors tab to choose which errors should be counted and displayed in the List
View
. Check the box for all error types to count and display. For example, if you want to count
only CV errors, leave all boxes unchecked with the exception of CV errors.
Boxes for selecting an error counter are grayed out if they are not supported for the ports being
monitored. This does not apply to Loss of Sync (LOS) errors.
Figure 85: Phy Error Display Preference
Unselected error types are not used in determining the value of a status LED for a port (see Status
LEDs). For example, if CV errors are not selected, and the only errors detected for a port are CV
errors, the status light for that port will remain green. Loss of Sync (LOS) errors are only available
for PCIe ports.
For Xgig ports, columns for each selected error type that can be counted are displayed in List
View. For Xgig ports, columns for unselected error types are not shown. For example, if CV errors
are not selected, the CV Errors column will not display. For “state” errors, such as Loss of Signal
or Loss of Sync, the current state will appear in the
Traffic Status
column.
Remote Xgig hosts may contain a mix of Xgig Analyzer ports that use different protocols and
therefore have different error counters. If the Xgig host contains multiple port types that have
different error counters, you will be able to select any counter that applies to least one of the ports
in the host. In
List View
, the error counter will be marked with label N/A if the counter does not
apply for a specific port on the host.
