Message
above high boundary(High=
Probable Cause
Indicates that the number of invalid certificates has risen above the high boundary. This violation
indicates that a packet with an invalid certificate has been received from the primary fabric
configuration server (FCS). Before a new primary FCS switch sends any configuration data to any
switch in the fabric, it first sends its certificate to all the switches in the fabric. The receiving switch
has to verify that the sender is the primary FCS switch and its certificate is signed by the Root CA
recognized by the receiving switch. This counter keeps track of the number of packets received
with invalid certificates.

Probable Cause
Indicates that the number of authentication failures has changed. Authentication failures can
occur for many reasons. The switch on the other side might not support the protocol, have an
invalid certificate, not be signed properly, or send unexpected packets. The port where
authentication fails is segmented. This counter keeps track of the number of authentication
failures.
