OSA Ethernet (G)

The OSA Ethernet Table is intended to represent the Ethernet ports associated with the OSA Express Channel Table entries for Ethernet adapters. The (G) indicates that graphs are available. Each OSA-Express Channel has one or more ports.

The OSA Ethernet Table has three subtables:

·         Configuration

·         Traffic/Errors

·         MAC Addresses

Figure 78. OSA Ethernet Table

The fields on OSA Ethernet are:

Name

Specifies the port name that must also be entered at the connection manager on the host and the application. Port name is specifed to OSA/SF as a config file parameter (PCM_NAME). This value is also specified via ILMI as the value of the atmfPortMyIfName object. Does not apply to an ATM OSA-2 adapter configured for ATM IP Forwarding mode, or an OSA-Express ATM155 adapter configured for QDIO LAN Emulation mode.

Port Number

Port number, starts at 0.

Description

Configured port description provided by the user.

Type

The physical port type. May be Gigabit Ethernet or Fast Ethernet.

Config Name

Name of configuration.

Config Speed

The configured port speed. For OSA-Express Gigabit Ethernet adapters the port speed cannot be configured so the value of this object is 1000MbFullDuplex(7).

0: Auto Negotiate

1: Half Duplex 10Mb

2: Full Duplex 10Mb

3: Half Duplex 100Mb

4: Full Duplex 100Mb

7: Full Duplex 1000Mb

CONFIGURATION subtable

 

Port Number

Port number, starts at 0.

Active Speed

 

 

 

The actual port speed.

0: Unknown

1: Half Duplex 10Mb

2: Full Duplex 10Mb

3: Half Duplex 100Mb

4: Full Duplex 100Mb

7: Full Duplex 1000Mb


 

Hardware State








 

The hardware state of the port:

1 - Unknown port hardware state.

2 - OSA has detected a loss of signal on the link. (A likely 

     cause of this condition is an improperly installed or  

     missing cable connection on the port). For OSA-

     Express ATM, this condition can also be caused by    

     registration failure.

3 - Port is disabled. The reason for the port being disabled

     is set in object Disabled Status.

4 - Port is enabled.

Disabled Status

When the value of Hardware State is disabled(3), this object explains the reason for the disabled state. The value for this object may be a combination of the following:

0x0001 Disabled internal port failure

0x0002 Disabled service processor request

0x0004 Disabled network request

0x0008 Disabled OSA/SF request

0x0010 Disabled configuration change

0x0020 Disabled link failure threshold exceeded

0x0040 Disabled port temporarily disabled

When the value of Hardware State is not disabled(3), the value of this object is zero.

Service Mode

May be Non-service Mode or Service Mode.

Figure 80. OSA Ethernet Traffic/Errors Subtable


 

TRAFFIC/ERRORS subtable

 

Port Number

Port number, starts at 0.

Packets Out

The count of the total number of packets transmitted from this port. A CHPID reset causes this value to be reset to zero.

Packets In

The count of the total number of packets received by this port. A CHPID reset causes this value to be reset to zero.

Group Frames In

The count of the total number of group frames received by this port. A CHPID reset causes this value to be reset to zero.

Broadcast Frames In

The count of the total number of broadcast frames received by this port. A CHPID reset causes this value to be reset to zero.

Unknown IP Frames In

The count of the total number of packets that were discarded because they did not have a matching IP address and there was no primary or secondary router default defined. This object is not supported for Fast Ethernet adapters so the value is zero.

Figure 81. OSA Ethernet MAC Addresses Subtable

MAC ADDRESSES subtable

 

Port Number

Port number, starts at 0.

Active MAC Address

A 6 byte OCTET STRING that contains the current MAC address in use on the adapter.

Burnt In MAC Address

A 6 byte OCTET STRING that contains the adapter's burned in MAC address.

MAC Group Addresses

This field contains the active Group Addresses. An individual Group Address is 6 bytes long. Therefore, this field is actually 32 times (OCTET STRING(SIZE(6)) + 2 bytes of padding) long.
