Interpretation |
| Port_state |
Indicates the current operational state of this port.
|
|
This measure reports the current operational state of this port along with their numeric equivalents as shown in the table:
| Value |
State |
| 0 |
Offline |
| 2 |
Unknown |
| 4 |
Bypassed |
| 5 |
Diagnostics |
| 100 |
Online |
Note:By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned States while indicating the current operational state of this port. However, the graph of this measure will be represented using the corresponding numeric equivalents of the above-mentioned states.
Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to determine the exact state of the port.
|
| Port_status |
Indicates the current health of this port.

Note:By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned States while indicating the current health of this port. However, the graph of this measure will be represented using the corresponding numeric equivalents of the above-mentioned states.
Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to determine the exact status of the port.
Moreover, if the detailed diagnosis of the Operational state measure reveals that a port is currently not in the online state, then the Current health of that port will be unknown.

| Control_status |
Indicates the control status of this port.
|
|
This measure reports the control status of this port along with their numeric equivalents as shown in the table:
| Value |

Note:By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned States while indicating the control status of this port. However, the graph of this measure will be represented using the corresponding numeric equivalents of the above-mentioned states.
Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to determine the exact control status of the port.
|
| Hardware_state |
Indicates the current status of the switch hardware.
|
|
This measure reports the current status of this switch hardware along with their numeric equivalents as shown in the table:
| Value |

Note:By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned States while indicating the current status of this switch hardware. However, the graph of this measure will be represented using the corresponding numeric equivalents of the above-mentioned states.
Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to determine the exact control status of the port.
|
| Port_speed |
Indicates the speed of the port.
|
KB/sec |
A sudden/consistent deterioriation in speed could indicate a problem requiring further investigation.
|
| Errors_count |
Indicates the number of errors that have occurred on this port.
|
Number |
Ideally, the value of this measure should be 0. A non-zero value indicates the existence of one/more problems with the port. A very high value is indicative of a problem-prone port.
|
| Buffers_full_count |
Indicates the number of times when all input buffers of this port were full.
|
Number |
|
| Link_failure_count |
Indicates the number of link failures experienced by this port.
|
Number |
Ideally, the value of this measure should be 0.
|
| Invalid_frames_received |
Indicates the number of invalid frames that were transmitted by this port.
|
Number |
Ideally, the value of this measure should be 0. A high value could indicate a bad physical link.
|
| Invalid_words_transmited |
Indicates the number of invalid words that were transmitted by this port.
|
Number |
Ideally, the value of this measure should be 0. A high value could indicate a bad physical link.
|
| Signal_loss_count |
Indicates the number of times a signal loss was detected at this port.
|
Number |
|
| Synchronous_loss_count |
Indicates the number of times a synchronization loss was detected at his port.
|
Number |
Ideally, the value of this measure should be 0. If the value of this measure is high, then, you might want to take a look at the value reported by the Invalid words transmitted measure to check whether the physical link is really bad and if that caused the loss of synchronization.
