A Fabric class alarm alerts you to problems or potential problems with interconnectivity. Fabric class areas Table 3 lists Product Name areas in the Fabric class and describes each area. Although it is recommended that you leave the entire Fabric class in its default state (no alerts), you can configure the Fabric class using the thConfig command.

E_Port downs (ED) Tracks the number of times that an E_Port or VE_Port goes down. E_Ports and VE_Ports go down each time you remove a cable or an SFP (where there are SFP failures or transient errors). Fabric Watch Administrator's Guide 37 53-1002752-01
