Monitoring Link Status
Disabling monitoring link status
To disable the link status monitoring feature, enter the following command:
no system-monitoring tm port-control
Displaying fabric link status (Fix for HTML)
To display the fabric link status, enter the following command:
Brocade# show sfm-links 1
SFM#/FE# | FE link# | LP#/TM# | TM link# | link state
----------+-----------+---------+-----------+---------
1 / 1 | 13 | 2 / 1 | 13 | UP
1 / 1 | 17 | 2 / 2 | 01 | DOWN
1 / 1 | 14 | 2 / 1 | 01 | UP
Syntax: show sfm-links <sfm-number> | all [ errors ]
The sfm-number variable specifies an SFM that you want to display link information for.
The all option displays link information for all SFMs in the chassis.
The errors option only displays information for SFM links that are in the DOWN state.
The output of this command can also be filtered using an output modifier. To use an output modifier, type a vertical bar ( | ) followed by a
space and one of the following parameters:
•
begin - begin output with the first matching line
•
exclude - exclude matching lines from the output
•
include - include only matching lines in the output
A warning statement is sent if the number of operational links falls below the minimum threshold.
This warning is displayed to warn users that the line rate traffic will not be maintained.
The following table describes the information the show sfm-links command displays.
Syslog messages
The following syslog messages are related to link monitoring:
TABLE 42 CLI display of SFM link information
This field... Displays...
SFM# The switch fabric module number.
FE# The FE number.
FE link# The number of the interconnect between the SFM and the FE.
LP# The slot number where the Interface module (LP) is installed.
TM# The number of the traffic manager used in the link.
TM link# The link number on the traffic manager.
link state The link state is either:
UP - In an operating condition
DOWN - In a non-operational condition
