Only Port—When this option is unchecked, which is the default, frames from all ports are

logged. F frames depend on the Include Class F Frame option. When checked, the port

entry box is enabled, and the port number to be logged can be entered. When in FICON Style

mode-, port numbers can be entered into this box in either in hex or decimal using

Hex/Decimal. The spin button limits port number entries to valid ranges, including the

exclusion of unavailable port numbers. After selecting OK from this port selection dialog, the

selected port number is displayed on the main log dialog next to the Only port check box

(such as, Only port 59, or Only port 59 (3B) if in FICON style mode). Only frames from

or to the selected port are retained in the switch’s log after that point.

Switch Fabric log

This log displays the following information about switches in a fabric:

Non-wrapping Log or Wrapping Log—From the submenu, select Non-wrapping log

or Wrapping log. Wrapping log is the default.

Date and Time—The date and time that the event occurred. The format is yyyy/mm/dd

hh:mm:ss:tt. The last two characters (hundredth of seconds) are needed due to possible higher

frequency rate of some of the advanced logs.

Description—The description string for the event type. The string content is displayed directly

as stored in the log.

Event Data—This string contains details of the event, and is variable depending on the event

logged. This is provided directly by the log content, and is displayed here exactly as received.

Ports (RSCN only)—For Port RSCN events only, a list of affected ports is displayed in this

column. This is interpreted from port bitmap data stored in the log, and only the ports with a bit

value of 1 are listed. If there are many bits set in a large switch, the contents of this box can be

very long.
