Using Fabric Watch Table 9: Security-Class Areas (Continued) Area invalid timestamps invalid signatures invalid certificates SLAP failures SLAP bad packets TS out of sync no FCS incompatible security DB illegal command Description If a time interval becomes to great from the time a packet is sent to the time it is received, the timestamp of the packet becomes invalid and the switch rejects the packet. If a switch cannot verify the signature of a packet, the switch rejects the packet and the signature becomes invalid. The Primary FCS switch sends a certificate to all switches in the secure fabric before it sends configuration data. Receiving switches only accept packets with the correct certificate. Any other certificates qualify as invalid and represent an attempted security breach. A Switch Link Authentication Protocol (SLAP) failure occurs when packets try to pass from an unsecure switch to a secure fabric. A Time Server Out of Synchronization error has been detected. This area indicates that the switch has lost contact with the Primary FCS. This area tracks when commands permitted only to the primary FCS has been executed on another switch. Table 10 lists Fabric Watch areas in the SAM class and provides a description of each area. Table 10: SAM -Class Areas Area total downtime total uptime duration of occurrences frequency of occurrences Description Indicates the total downtime of each F_Port and E_Port. Indicates the total uptime of each F_Port and E_Port. Indicates the amount of time a port stays down Indicates how frequently a port goes down. Fabric Watch Version 3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide 39

Using Fabric Watch

Fabric Watch Version 3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide
Table 10
lists Fabric Watch areas in the SAM class and provides a description of
each area.
invalid timestamps
If a time interval becomes to great from the time a
packet is sent to the time it is received, the timestamp of
the packet becomes invalid and the switch rejects the
packet.
invalid signatures
If a switch cannot verify the signature of a packet, the
switch rejects the packet and the signature becomes
invalid.
invalid certificates
The Primary FCS switch sends a certificate to all
switches in the secure fabric before it sends
configuration data. Receiving switches only accept
packets with the correct certificate. Any other
certificates qualify as invalid and represent an
attempted security breach.
SLAP failures
A Switch Link Authentication Protocol (SLAP) failure
occurs when packets try to pass from an unsecure
switch to a secure fabric.
SLAP bad packets
TS out of sync
A Time Server Out of Synchronization error has been
detected.
no FCS
This area indicates that the switch has lost contact with
the Primary FCS.
incompatible security DB
illegal command
This area tracks when commands permitted only to the
primary FCS has been executed on another switch.
