Embedded Port Log (FICON style display mode)
An Embedded Port Log entry includes the following information:
•
Non-wrapping Log or Wrapping Log—From the submenu, select Non-wrapping log (the
text within the log entry does not wrap) or Wrapping log. Wrapping log is the default.
•
Log Settings— Displays the current settings of the log options configured on the switch. These
settings affect how log data is captured and stored on the switch, not just what is displayed in
the dialog box. For example, if the Include Class F Frames is turned off or unchecked, Class F
frames are not captured or stored in the log on the Switch and are not accessible from this log.
To change these options, click the Change... button. For for more information, see ”
•
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 the possibility of
a higher frequency rate of some of the advanced logs.
•
Port—The decimal receive port number on the local Switch associated with the flow that was
rerouted. When FICON style is on, the hexadecimal equivalent of the port number is displayed
in parentheses. When FICON style is off, only the decimal value is shown and there is no value
in the parenthesis.
•
Direction—In or Out indicates the direction of the frame in reference to the embedded port
and to the port number in the Port field. For example, if In is displayed, then the frame is
coming into the embedded port from the port number specified in the Port field.
•
Frame Header—The Fibre Channel Frame Header string. This header is not interpreted by the
Element Manager. The table cell contents can be copied into a third-party application for
interpretation.
•
Length— Length of the payload, byte counter, displayed in decimal format. Since the payload
can be longer that the maximum 32 bytes retained by the log, this value displays how many
bytes are actually in the frame.
•
Payload—The payload portion of the data box.
•
SOF—The string that contains the Start of Frame code abbreviation. Place the cursor over a cell
in this column to display descriptions of the abbreviation.
