The following examples represent a sample configuration for an E_Port. See "E_Port subclass setting guidelines" on page 61 for detailed setting recommendations for each area. Configuring an E_Port with an Invalid CRC Count area Invalid Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) count errors on a port can represent noise on the network or a potential hardware problem. 1. Enter the portThConfig command using the following parameters: portthconfig --set e-port -area crc -highth -value 20 -trigger above -action raslog,snmp,email,portlog • Excessive CRCs on E_Ports lead to fabric congestion and possible frame drops; therefore, change the high threshold value from 1000 (the default) to 20 (per minute). • Triggers specify actions for in-range port behavior. Set the trigger to above. • Set the action to collect all notifications (raslog, snmp, email, and portlog). 2. Apply the changes. portthconfig --apply e-port -area crc -action_level cust -thresh_level cust Configuring an E_Port with an Invalid Transmission Words area Invalid Transmission Words occur when a word does not transmit successfully, resulting in encoding errors. Invalid word messages usually indicate a hardware problem. 1. Enter the portThConfig command using the following parameters: portthconfig --set e-port -area itw -highth -value 40 -trigger above -action raslog,snmp,email,portlog • Excessive CRCs on E_Ports lead to fabric congestion and possible frame drops; therefore, change the high threshold value from 1000 (the default) to 40 (per minute). • Triggers specify actions for in-range port behavior.
