CAUTION: Only one mask per port can be set. When you set a mask, all existing EE monitors
are deleted.
You can specify a mask using the perfSetPortEeMask command in the form dd:aa:pp, where dd is
the domain ID mask, aa is the area ID mask, and pp is the AL_PA mask. The values for dd, aa, and pp
are either ff (the field must match) or 00 (the field is ignored). The default EE mask value is ff:ff:ff.
The command sets the mask for all EE monitors of a port. If any EE monitors are programmed on a port
when the perfSetPortEeMask command is issued, a message is displayed as shown in the following
example:
The perfSetPorteeMask command sets a mask for the Domain ID, Area ID, and AL_PA of the SIDs
and DIDs for frames transmitted from and received by the port.
Figure 12 shows the mask positions in the command. A mask (ff) is set on slot 1, port 2 to compare the
AL_PA fields on the SID and DID in all frames (transmitted and received) on port 2. The frame SID and DID
must match only the AL_PA portion of the specified SID-DID pair. Each port can have only one EE mask.
The mask is applied to all EE monitors on the port. Individual masks for each monitor on the port cannot
be specified.
