Using Advanced Performance Monitoring ■ Area ID (AA) ■ AL_PA (PP) For example, the SID 0x118a0f has Domain ID 0x11, Area ID 0x8a, and AL_PA 0x0f. (The prefix "0x" denotes a hexadecimal number.) Adding End-to-end Monitors Use the perfAddEEMonitor command to add an end-to-end monitor to a port. The monitor counts the number of words received, number of words transmitted, and number of CRC errors detected in frames qualified using either of the following two conditions: ■ for frames received at the port (with End-to-End monitor installed), the frame SID is the same as "SourceID" and frame DID is the same as "DestID". Both RX_COUNT and CRC_COUNT will be updated accordingly. ■ for frames transmitted from the port (with End-to-End monitor installed), the frame DID is the same as "SourceID" and frame SID is the same as "DestID". TX_COUNT will be updated accordingly. Depending on the application, any port along the routing path can be selected for such monitoring. Example. Figure 9 shows two devices: Host A, which is connected to domain 5, switch area port 18 (AL_PA 0x00) on Switch X, and Dev B, which is connected to domain 17, switch area port 30 (AL_PA 0xef) on Switch Y. SID 0x051200 Host A Switch x . . . Monitor 0 domain 5, switch area port 18 AL_PA 0x00 Switch y DID 0x111eef . . . Dev B Monitor 1 domain 17, switch area port 30 AL_PA 0xef Figure 9: Setting end-to-end monitors on a port To monitor the traffic from Host A to Dev B, add a monitor to slot 1, port 2, specifying 0x051200 as the SID and 0x111eef as the DID. To monitor the traffic from Dev B to Host A, add a monitor to slot 2, port 15, specifying 0x111eef as the SID and 0x051200 as the DID.
