OOB/Speed Neg. Interpretation

SCSI Data Integrity Field (T10-DIF)

Brocade VE Port Frame Decoding
You can set only one value for each switch. For example, if you set
SCSI Interpretation
to
Direct
Access Devices
, no frames are interpreted using the other two settings. See
Traces Annotated by Expert” on page 382
and
“Working with Expert Traces” on page 384
for
more information on using Expert to provide additional decode information.
/C/ Encodings
This option sets the interpretation the Gigabit Ethernet /C/ primitives sent during the
Auto-Negotiation phase. The /C/ primitives contain 16-bits of data, and the interpretation depends
of the current phase of the Auto-Negotiation. The TraceView application does not track the state
of the Auto-Negotiation, so it does not know what is the proper interpretation for each /C/
primitive. For interpretation of /C/ primitives, select
Decode Switches >
/C/ Encodings
. There
are two decode choices available:
By default, TraceView assumes that the /C/ primitive contains the
16-bit Config_Reg
data, which
corresponds to the
Config_Reg base page encoding
switch. However, when the Next Page bit of
the Config_Reg is set to 1, then the next /C/ primitive should be interpreted using the
Next page
encoding
switch, until the Next Page bit is set to 0.
SCSI Interpretations
For interpretation of SCSI frames, select
Decode Switches > SCSI Interpretation
. There are
many decode choices available for the SCSI protocol:
•
Any SCSI Device
Use this option if you do not know what kind of SCSI traffic you have. This option assumes
Direct Access Devices such as disks by default, but non-direct access SCSI opcodes are also
interpreted as much as possible. This is the default option.
•
Direct Access Devices (SBC)
Use this option if your network only uses direct access devices (SBC) such as disks.
•
Sequential Devices (SSC)
Select this option if your network only uses sequential devices (SSC) such as tape.
•
Medium Changers (SMC)
Select this option if your network only uses medium changers (SMC) such as CD-ROM
servers.
•
SCSI Controllers (SCC)
Select this option if your network only uses SCSI storage array devices (SCC) – commonly
known as RAID devices.
