Managing Port Status Parameters

Home  Previous  Next

Parameters of the Port Status instances, that is AbnormalEOF, BadCharactersReceived, BadCRC, DiscardedFrames, LinkFailures,LossOfSignal, LossOfSynch, and ProtocolErrors keep increasing as new errors are encountered. The counter starts with the value present at the PATROL Agent start or upon the KM reinitialization. When no error occurs, the parameters remain at zero. Each time an error occurs the corresponding parameter is increased by 1 (one), and the KM retains this NEW value until it is acknowledged.

The KM provides the following two KM Commands to acknowledge alerts on a Port Status parameter:
