DRAFT: BROCADE CONFIDENTIAL
The Brocade Encryption Switch, FS8-18 blade, FR4-18i blade, FX8-24 DCX Extension blade, and
the Brocade 7500, 7500E, and 7800 Extension switches include physical FC ports, logical FC
ports, and GbE ports. The Brocade FC4-16IP blade includes physical FC ports and GbE ports. Not
all of the performance monitoring graphs support the logical FC ports and GbE ports.
Table 12 lists each graph and indicates the supported port types for each graph. The port selection
columns for each graph displays the supported ports.
The labeling of the axes in the graphs depends on the switch type:
• For the Brocade 48000 and DCX and DCX-4S enterprise-class platforms, slot numbers are
displayed with expansion arrows next to them, as shown in Figure 34 on page 107. Click the
arrows to expand and contract the list of ports per slot.
• Switches such as the Brocade 200E, 300, 4012, 4016, 4018, 4020, 4024, 4100, 4900,
5000, 5100, 5300, 7600, 7500, the 7500E, and 7800 Extension switches, and the Brocade
Encryption Switch do not have slot numbers because they have no blade FRUs, and therefore
there is no need for slot numbering.
• For Brocade 48000 and Brocade DCX and DCX-4S enterprise-class platforms, the X-axis scales
up to 409.6 Gbps in multiples of 2.
• For Brocade 200E, 300, 4012, 4016, 4018, 4020, 4024, 4100, 4900, 5000, 5100, 5300,
7600, the 7500, 7500E, and 7800 Extension switches, and the Brocade Encryption Switch,
the X-axis scales up to 8.0 Gbps in increments of 0.8 Gbps.
Port throughput utilization is represented by a horizontal bar for each selected port The horizontal
bar gets longer or shorter depending on the percent utilization for that port at the last poll time.
Thin short vertical intersecting bars give a historical perspective by representing the highest and
lowest values reached for each selected port since the graph was opened. A third bar between
them represents the average of all values polled.
NOTE
Virtual ports on logical switches cannot be graphed.
