Diagnostics
4-35
— Delimiter errors - Received frames had frame delimiter errors,
indicating the frame arrived at the switch port corrupted.
Frame corruption may be caused by device disconnection, an
optical transceiver failure at the device, a bad fiber-optic cable,
or a poor cable connection.
— Address ID errors - Received frames had unavailable or
invalid Fibre Channel destination addresses, or invalid Fibre
Channel source addresses. This typically indicates the
destination device is unavailable.
— Frames too short - Received frames were less than the Fibre
Channel minimum size, indicating the frame arrived at the
switch port corrupted. Frame corruption may be caused by
device disconnection, an optical transceiver failure at the
device, a bad fiber-optic cable, or a poor cable connection.
