System monitoring for fabric adapters, Sysmon fa error-count – Brocade FastIron Ethernet Switch Administration Guide User Manual
Page 305
The error is logged to syslog.
Modes
Global configuration mode.
Usage Guidelines
This command is supported only on FCX and ICX devices.
Examples
The following example configures system monitoring for fabric adaptor errors:
Brocade(config)# sysmon link-error threshold 3 7
Brocade(config)# sysmon link-error action syslog
Brocade(config)# sysmon link-error log-backoff 15
System monitoring for Fabric Adapters
On FSX devices, system monitoring for fabric adaptors monitor errors such as the following:
• End of Packet (EoP) or Start of Packet (SoP) errors
• Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) errors
• Packets dropped due to congestion
In addition to the error count, sysmon also checks for connectivity of FA links. This happens at the
interval defined by the sysmon-timer command generally or specifically for FA.

sysmon fa error-count
Configures how sysmon handles fabric adaptor-related errors. The no version of this command disables
system monitoring on fabric adaptors.
Syntax
sysmon fa error-count { threshold events polling-interval | log-backoff value | action { none |
syslog } }
no sysmon fa error-count
Parameters
threshold
Defines the threshold for errors. The threshold is defined as N/W, where N is the number of
events, and W is the number of consecutive polling periods. When the threshold is reached,
actions configured for this event type will take place. Note that a threshold of 1/W implies
that there is no threshold, and the action will always be triggered.
events
Specifies the threshold in terms of the number of events. Valid values are 1 through
10.
