Fabric OS 5.x diagnostics and system error messages reference guide 235
Probable Cause
Indicates that the number of invalid timestamps has risen above the high boundary. Invalid-timestamp
violations indicate a packet with an invalid timestamp has been received from the primary FCS. When the
primary fabric configuration server (FCS) downloads a new configuration to other switches in the fabric,
the packet is tagged with a timestamp. The receiving switch compares this timestamp to its current time. If
the difference is too great, it rejects the packet. This counter keeps track of packets rejected due to invalid
timestamps.
Recommended Action
Responses to security-class messages depend on user policies. Consult your security administrator for
response strategies and policies.
Severity
WARNING
FW-1347
Message
Probable Cause
Indicates that the number of invalid timestamps has changed from a value outside of the acceptable range
to a value within the acceptable range. Invalid-timestamp violations indicate a packet with an invalid
timestamp has been received from the primary FCS. When the primary fabric configuration server (FCS)
downloads a new configuration to other switches in the fabric, the packet is tagged with a timestamp. The
receiving switch compares this timestamp to its current time. If the difference is too great, it rejects the
packet. This counter keeps track of packets rejected due to invalid timestamps.
Recommended Action
No action is required.
Severity
INFO
FW-1348
Message
Probable Cause
Indicates that the number of invalid signatures has changed. Invalid-signature violations indicate that a
packet with an invalid signature has been received from the primary FCS. When the primary fabric
configuration server (FCS) downloads a new configuration to the other switches in the fabric, the packet is
signed using the private key of the primary FCS. The receiving switch has to verify this signature with the
public key of the primary FCS switch. If verification fails, it rejects the packet. This counter keeps track of the
number of packets received with invalid signatures.
