Switch Status monitoring category
The Switch Status category enables you to monitor the health of the switch by defining the number
of types of errors that transitions the overall switch state into a state that is not healthy. For
example, you can specify a switch policy so that if a switch has two port failures, it is considered to
be in a marginal state; if it has four failures, it is in a down state.
lists the current overall Switch Status category parameters in a switch and identifies the
factors that affect their health. Note that not all switches use the listed monitors.
SFP Current
The amount of supplied current to the SFP transceiver. Current area events
indicate hardware failures.
SFP Receive power (RXP)
The amount of incoming laser, in microwatts (µw). This is used to help
determine if the SFP transceiver is in good working condition. If the counter
often exceeds the threshold, the SFP transceiver is deteriorating.
SFP Transmit power (TXP)
The amount of outgoing laser, in microwatts (µw). This is used to help
determine if the SFP transceiver is in good working condition. If the counter
often exceeds the threshold, the SFP transceiver is deteriorating.
SFP Voltage
The amount of voltage supplied to the SFP transceiver. If this value exceeds
the threshold, the SFP transceiver is deteriorating.
SFP Temperature (SFP_TEMP)
The physical temperature of the SFP transceiver, in degrees Celsius. A high
temperature indicates that the SFP transceiver might be in danger of
damage.
SFP Power on hours (PWR_HRS)
The number of hours the 16 Gbps SFP transceiver is powered on.

Switch status measures

Description
Power Supplies (BAD_PWR)
Power supply thresholds detect absent or failed power supplies, and power
supplies that are not in the correct slot for redundancy.
Temperatures (BAD_TEMP)
Temperature thresholds, faulty temperature sensors.
Fans (BAD_FAN)
Fan thresholds, faulty fans.
WWN (WWN_DOWN)
Faulty WWN card (applies to modular switches).
HA out of sync (HA_SYNC)
High availability (HA) state of the active CP is out of synchronization with the HA
state of the standby CP.
Blades (FAULTY_BLADE)
Faulty blades (applies to modular switches).
Core Blade (DOWN_CORE)
Faulty core blades.
Flash (FLASH_USAGE)
Flash thresholds.
Marginal Ports
1
(MARG_PORTS) Physical port, E_Port, FOP_port (optical), and FCU_Port (copper) port
thresholds. Whenever these thresholds are persistently high, the port is
Marginal.
Faulty Ports
(FAULTY_PORTS)
Hardware-related port faults.
