McDATA 4314 Manual Do Utilizador

• Yes - Review the ISL group in the active security set to ensure that the 

membership includes the necessary ports and that the secrets on all 

switches are correct.

• No  -  Continue.

2. Does the event browser show a repeating alarm about an unsupported 

E_Port command on the affected port?

• Yes - The port is configured as an FL_Port and connected to another 

switch. Correct the port connection or the port type.

• No  -  Continue.

3. Display the fabric domain IDs using the Show Domains command or the 

Switch data tab in the EFCM BASIC topology display. Are all domain IDs 
in the fabric unique?

• Yes  -  Continue.

• No - Correct the domain IDs on the offending switches using the Set 

Config Switch command or the EFCM BASIC Switch Properties 

window. Reset the port. If the condition remains, continue.

4. Compare the RA_TOV and ED_TOV timeout values for all switches in the 

fabric using the Show Config Switch command or the Switch data tab of 
the EFCM BASIC topology display. Is each timeout value the same on 
every switch?

• Yes  -  Continue.

• No - Correct the timeout values on the offending switches using the 

Set Config Switch command or the EFCM BASIC Switch Properties 

dialog. Reset the port. If the condition remains, continue.

5. Display the active zone set on each switch using the Zoning Active 

command or the Active Zoneset tab of the EFCM BASIC topology display. 
Compare the zone membership between the two active zone sets. Are 
they the same?

• Yes - Contact your authorized maintenance provider.

• No - Deactivate one of the active zone sets or edit the conflicting zones 

so that their membership is the same. Reset the port. If the condition 

remains, contact your authorized maintenance provider.

This can be caused by merging two fabrics whose active zone sets have two 

zones with the same name, but different membership.

The switch can monitor a set of port errors and generates alarms based on 
user-defined sample windows and thresholds. These port errors include the 
following:

•

CRC  errors

•

Decode errors

•

ISL connection count

•

Login  errors

•

Logout errors

•

Loss-of-signal errors
