TABLE 2 Environment class areas Area Description Fan Power Supply Temperature Refers to the speed of the fans inside the switch, in revolutions per minute. It is important that the fans spin quickly enough to keep the ambient temperature from rising to levels at which switch damage might occur. Monitors whether power supplies within the switch are on, off, present, absent, or faulty. Product Name monitors power supplies to be sure that power is always available to a switch. Refers to the ambient temperature inside the switch, in degrees Celsius. Temperature sensors monitor the switch in case the temperature rises to levels at which damage to the switch might occur. NOTE The fans in the Brocade 200E do not return RPM values, so there is no fan class area for it. Fabric class areas Table 3 lists Product Name areas in the Fabric class and describes each area. TABLE 3 Fabric class areas Area Description Domain ID Changes Fabric Logins Fabric Reconfiguration Monitors forced domain ID changes. Forced domain ID changes occur when there is a conflict of domain IDs in a single fabric and the principal switch has to assign another domain ID to a switch. Occurs when ports and devices initialize with the fabric. Tracks the number of reconfigurations of the fabric. Fabric reconfiguration occurs when: • Two fabrics with the same domain ID are connected. • Two fabrics are joined. • An E_Port or VE_Port has gone offline. • A principal link has segmented from the fabric.

Environment class areas
Table 2
lists and describes the Product Name areas in the
Environment
class.
NOTE
The fans in the Brocade 200E do not return RPM values, so there is no
fan
class area for it.
Fabric class areas
Table 3
lists Product Name areas in the Fabric class and describes each area.
TABLE 2
Environment class areas
Area
Description
Fan
Refers to the speed of the fans inside the switch, in revolutions per minute. It is important that
the fans spin quickly enough to keep the ambient temperature from rising to levels at which
switch damage might occur.
Power Supply
Monitors whether power supplies within the switch are on, off, present, absent, or faulty.
Product Name monitors power supplies to be sure that power is always available to a switch.
Temperature
Refers to the ambient temperature inside the switch, in degrees Celsius. Temperature sensors
monitor the switch in case the temperature rises to levels at which damage to the switch might
occur.
TABLE 3
Fabric class areas
Area
Description
Domain ID Changes
Monitors forced domain ID changes. Forced domain ID changes occur when there is a
conflict of domain IDs in a single fabric and the principal switch has to assign another
domain ID to a switch.
Fabric Logins
Occurs when ports and devices initialize with the fabric.
Fabric Reconfiguration
Tracks the number of reconfigurations of the fabric. Fabric reconfiguration occurs when:
•
Two fabrics with the same domain ID are connected.
•
Two fabrics are joined.
•
An E_Port or VE_Port has gone offline.
•
A principal link has segmented from the fabric.
