Measures reported by DellSwPortDtTest

The Dell Switch M-Series comprises of multiple ports through which multiple network connections are established. This test auto discovers the ports on the Dell Switch M-Series, and reports the current administrative state and operational state of each port. In addition, this test also reveals the strength of the power signals that are received and transmitted through each port. This way, administrators can be proactively alerted to transmission / reception of weak signals, and in the process, they can initiate remedial measures before connection failures occur.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Admin_status Indicates the current administrative status of this port.   The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

State Numeric value
Up 1
Down 2

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the current administrative status of the port. The graph of this measure however, represents the status of the port using the numeric equivalents only - 1 to 6.
Operational_status Indicates the current operational status of this port.   The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

State Numeric value
Ready 1
Port down 2
Port problem 3
Card problem 4
Card down 5
Not present 6

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the current operational status of the port. The graph of this measure however, represents the status of the port using the numeric equivalents only - 1 to 6.
Recd_power_signal Indicates strength of the power signal that is received through this port. dB  
Txmt_power_signal Indicates strength of the power signal that is transmitted through this port. dB  
Recd_Temperature Indicates the current temperature of this port. Celsius
