Event monitoring
5
• SNMP trap: Generates an SNMP trap
By default, SYSMON is enabled to monitor and detect all the defined event types. The following
Sysmon event types are defined and implemented:
• TM_LINK - Monitoring TM serdes links.
• FE_LINK - Monitoring FE serdes links.
• NP memory errors - Monitoring memory errors on interface modules.
• Port CRC errors
Event types
TM_LINK
TM link is the link between the line card and the switch fabric module. The event type TM_LINK
monitors this link for the errors reported on the link by the TM, such as CRC, misalignment, code
group error, and down links. Here is an example from Syslog.
Dec 29 15:31:24:W:System: ALARM:LP15/TM3 has 6 links, less than the minimum to
maintain line rate
FE_LINK
FE link is the link between the line card and the switch fabric module. The event type FE_LINK
monitors this link for the errors reported on the link by the FE, such as CRC, misalignment, code
group error and down links. Here is an example from Syslog.
Dec 29 15:31:24:W:System: ALARM:LP15/TM3 has 6 links, less than the minimum to
maintain line rate
NP memory errors
The NP Memory Error Monitoring event monitors memory errors on interface modules. Monitoring
includes parity errors, ECC errors, overflow and underflow errors. Errors are reported as syslog
messages or SNMP traps. Here is an example from Syslog.
Feb 23 19:27:29:E:PRAM Word 2 Parity Error on port range 3/1 - 3/2
For detailed information on NP memory error monitoring, refer to “NP memory error monitoring” on
page 116.
Displaying event information
Displaying internal log messages
You can use the following show commands to view the results of the monitoring activity. These
show commands display information for all event types in one output.
To display the contents of the internal log, enter the following command.
Brocade # show sysmon logs
INFO:May 13 07:29:54: TM Link Error: LP2/TM2/Link2 -- SNM3/FE3/Link43 (disabled)
INFO:May 13 07:29:33: FE Link Error: SNM3/FE3/Link64 -- LP4/TM1/Link2 (disabled)
