DLP-A357 Create FC_MR-4 RMON Alarm Thresholds
Step 8 From the Alarm Type drop-down list, indicate whether the event will be triggered by the rising threshold, 
falling threshold, or both the rising and falling thresholds.
Step 9 From the Sample Type drop-down list, choose either Relative or Absolute. Relative restricts the 
threshold to use the number of occurrences in the user-set sample period. Absolute sets the threshold to 
use the total number of occurrences, regardless of time period.
Step 10 Type in an appropriate number of seconds for the Sample Period field.
Step 11 Type in the appropriate number of occurrences for the Rising Threshold field.
Note For a rising type of alarm, the measured value must move from below the falling threshold to 
above the rising threshold. For example, if a network is running below a rising threshold of 
1000 collisions every 15 seconds and a problem causes 1001 collisions in 15 seconds, the excess 
occurrences trigger an alarm. 
Step 12 Enter the appropriate number of occurrences in the Falling Threshold field. In most cases a falling 
threshold is set lower than the rising threshold. 
fibreStatsTxFrames Transmitted total Fibre Channel frames.
fibreStatsTxOctets Transmitted total Fibre Channel data bytes within a frame.
fibreStatsLinkResets Total number of link resets initiated by FCMR port when link 
recovery port setting is enabled.
gfpStatsRxSBitErrors Received GFP frames with single bit errors in the core header (these 
errors are correctable).
gfpStatsRxMBitErrors Received GFP frames with multiple bit errors in the core header 
(these errors are not correctable).
gfpStatsRxTypeInvalid Received GFP frames with invalid type (these are discarded). For 
example, receiving GFP frames that contain Ethernet data when we 
expect Fibre Channel data.
gfpStatsRxSblkCRCErrors Total number of superblock CRC errors with the receive transparent 
GFP frame. A transparent GFP frame has multiple superblocks 
which each contain Fibre Channel data.
8b10bInvalidOrderedSets Total number of ordered sets not complaint to GE/FC (Gigabit 
Ethernet/Fibre Channel) standard.
8b10bStatsEncodingDispErrors Total number of code groups that violate GE/FC disparity errors.
