OSA Express Ports Attributes

Use the OSA Express Ports attributes to create situations that monitor OSA express ports usage.

Active MAC Address Contains the current MAC address in use on the adapter. The format is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of 12 characters.

Active Speed The actual speed and mode in which the OSA is running. The format is an integer with the following possible values:

Burned In MAC Address Contains the burned in MAC address on the OSA. The format is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of 12 characters.

Channel Number The channel path identifier (CHPID) corresponding to this device. The format is a string of 2 hexadecimal characters.

Collection Time The time and date of the data sampling. This time is displayed in the following format:

mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss

Where:

The stored format is a string no longer than 16 characters in the format CYYMMDDHHMMSSmmm (as in 1020315064501000 for 03/15/02 06:45:01) where:

Configuration Name The name of the configuration that is on the OSA. It is set using OSA/SF. It is not used by OSA. The format is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of 34 characters.

Configuration Speed The configured port speed in megabits per second. This field shows the speed that was configured for the OSA-Express Fast Ethernet feature. It is not used by OSA. Express gigabit features are displayed as n/a. The format is an integer with the following possible values:

Current Broadcast Frames The count of the number of broadcast frames received by this port over the current collection interval. A channel path identifier (CHPID) reset causes this value to be reset to zero. The format is an integer.

Current Group Frames In The count of the number of group frames received by this port over the current collection interval. A channel path identifier (CHPID) reset causes this value to be reset to zero. The format is an integer.

Current Packets In The count of the number of packets received by this port over the current collection interval. A channel path identifier (CHPID) reset causes this value to be reset to zero. The format is an integer.

Current Packets Out The count of the number of packets transmitted from this port over the current collection interval. A channel path identifier (CHPID) reset causes this value to be reset to zero. The format is an integer.

Current Unknown IP Frames The count of the number of packets that were discarded over the current collection interval because they did not have a matching IP address. There was neither a primary nor a secondary router default defined. This object is not supported for Fast Ethernet adapters so the value is zero. The format is an integer.

Disabled Status When the value of the Hardware State attribute is disabled, this attribute explains the reasons for the disabled state. The format is a string of up to 180 characters. This field can contain any combination of the following reasons:

Hardware State The state of the port. If the port is disabled, see Disabled Status for details. These are the possible values:

Link Name The name of the TCP/IP link associated with this port. The format is an alphanumeric string no longer than 16 characters.

Origin Node The unique identifier for the TCP/IP stack being displayed. The format is an alphanumeric string no longer than 32 characters.

Port Name Specifies the Port Name that must also be entered at the connection manager on the host and the application. The format is an alphanumeric string no longer than 16 characters.

Port Number The physical port number for this port. The format is a hexadecimal value. The valid range is between 0 (zero) and 'ff'.

Port Type The physical port type. The format is an integer. Possible port types are:

Service Mode Indicates whether or not the processor is in service mode. The format is an integer. The possible values are:

System ID The SMF system ID. The format is an alphanumeric string no longer than 4 characters.

TCP Host Name The host name of TCP/IP stack. The format is an alphanumeric string no longer than 255 characters.

TCPIP STC Name The name of the TCP/IP job. The format is an alphanumeric string no longer than 8 characters.

Total Broadcast Frames (K) The total number of broadcast frames received by this port. A channel path identifier (CHPID) reset causes this value to be reset to zero. The format is an integer.

Total Group Frames In (K) The count of the number of group frames received by this port. A channel path identifier (CHPID) reset causes this value to be reset to zero. The format is an integer, in units of K (1024).

Total Packets In (K) The total number of packets received by this port. A channel path identifier (CHPID) reset causes this value to be reset to zero. The format is an integer, in units of K (1024).

Total Packets Out (K) The total number of packets transmitted from this port. A channel path identifier (CHPID) reset causes this value to be reset to zero. The format is an integer, in units of K (1024).

Total Unknown IP Frames (K) The total number of packets that were discarded because they did not have a matching IP address. There was neither a primary nor a secondary router default defined. This object is not supported for Fast Ethernet adapters so the value is zero. The format is an integer, in units of K (1024).

User Data The data set by the user. It is ignored by the OSA. The format is an alphanumeric string no longer than 32 characters.

User Data (Hex) The data set by the user. This is the same data as the User Data attribute, except that the display is in hexadecimal format. It is ignored by the OSA. The format is a string of 64 hex characters.
