Switch Logging 9-7
Receive Jabber Frames (RX Jab) — The total number of frames
received by the port that were of longer than the support maximum
length and had a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) error.
Receive Alignment Errors (RX Align) — The total number of frames
received by the port that occurs if a frame has a CRC error and does
not contain an integral number of octets.
Receive Frames Lost (RX Lost) — The total number of frames
received by the port that were lost.
Switch Logging The Switch 3800 log tracks all configuration and fault information
pertaining to the device. Each entry in the log contains the following
information:
■ Timestamp — The timestamp records the month and day of the
event, along with the time (hours, minutes, and seconds) in the
form HH:MM:SS. If the event was caused by a user, the user name
is also provided.
■ Fault level — Table 9-2 describes the three levels of importance
that the Switch can assign to a fault.
■ Subsystem — The facility refers to the specific functional area of
the Switch to which the error refers. Table 9-3 describes the
subsystems.
Table 9-2 Fault Levels Assigned by the Switch
Level Description
Critical A desired Switch function is inoperable. The Switch may
need to be reset.
Warning A noncritical error that may lead to a function failure.
Informational Actions and events that are consistent with expected
behavior.
