Switch monitoring components

The Performance Monitor class is divided into the following areas:
•
EE (end-to-end) Performance Monitor - Monitors RX and TX performance between two devices.
•
Filter Performance Monitor - Measures the number of frames transmitted through a port that
match specific values in the first 64 bytes of the frame. Since the entire Fibre Channel frame
header and many of upper protocol's header fall within the first 64 bytes of a frame,
filter-based monitoring can measure different types of traffic transmitted through a port.
NOTE
Performance Monitoring is not supported on VE_Ports, EX_Ports, and VEX _Ports.
For complete information about performance monitoring, refer to “Performance monitoring
guidelines and default settings” on page 45
Security monitoring
The Security class monitors different security violations on the switch and takes action based on
the configured thresholds and their actions. You can customize Security class and area parameters
using the thConfig command.
For complete information about security monitoring, refer to “Security monitoring guidelines and
default settings” on page 40.
SFP monitoring
The SFP class groups areas that monitor the physical aspects of an SFP, such as voltage, current,
RXP, and TXP in physical ports, E_Ports, FOP_Ports, and FCU_Ports. An SFP class alarm alerts you
to an SFP fault. You can customize SFP class and area parameters using the thConfig command.
Use the thMonitor command to monitor the Brocade 10 Gbps and 16 Gbps SFP modules and 16
Gbps QSFPs. By default, the 10 Gbps SFP and the 16 Gbps SFP and QSFP are disabled. See
“16
Gbps and QSFP monitoring” on page 48 for more information.
NOTE
SFPs connected to any GbE ports are not monitored by Fabric Watch.
For complete information about SFP monitoring, refer to “SFP monitoring guidelines and default
settings” on page 43.
Port monitoring
Port monitoring monitors port statistics and takes action based on the configured thresholds and
actions. You can configure thresholds per port type and apply the configuration to all ports of the
specified type using the portThConfig command. Configurable ports include physical ports,
E_Ports, optical F_Ports (FOP_Ports), copper F_Ports (FCU_Ports), and Virtual E_Ports (VE_Ports).
NOTE
The execution of the portThConfig command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain
restrictions that may be in place. Refer to the
Fabric OS Command Reference Manual for more
information and for details about the portThConfig command.
