Port Health Status

The health of a port is determined by multiple factors:

•

Operational status

•

Packet drops (Optional)

•

Packet errors (Optional)

GigaVUE-FM computes the health status of a port and its associated logical components such as Map when a port link changes. When a port flaps, GigaVUE-FM computes the health status and the same is reflected immediately in GUI.

Click on the top navigation bar. On the left navigation pane, select System > Traffic Health Thresholds. The packet drops and errors are enabled by default for computing the health status of a port. For information about setting traffic health thresholds, refer to the “Traffic Health Thresholds” section in the GigaVUE-OS and GigaVUE-FM Administration Guide.

In this example, the Port Packet Drops and Port Packet Errors are enabled. The threshold value is set to 15000 packets over a time interval of 15 min. Refer to the following table to view how the port health status is calculated.

Color	Health Status	Operational Status	Packet Drops over 15 min	Packet Errors over 15 min
Green	Up (healthy)	Up	< 15000	< 15000
Red	Down (unhealthy)	Down	< 15000	< 15000
Red	Down (unhealthy)	Up	< 15000	> 15000
Red	Down (unhealthy)	Up	> 15000	> 15000
Red	Down (unhealthy)	Up	> 15000	> 15000

Inline Networks

The health of an inline network port depends on the forwarding state of the inline networks. GigaVUE-FM checks the forwarding state every 5 min. Refer to the following table to view how the health status of the inline network port is calculated.

Color	Health Status	Forwarding State
Green	Up (healthy)	Normal
Red	Down (unhealthy)	Failure-introduced Drop
Red	Down (unhealthy)	Network Ports Forced down
Red	Down (unhealthy)	DISCONNECTED
Red	Down (unhealthy)	ABNORMAL
Amber	Warning	Failure - Introduced Bypass
Amber	Warning	Forced Bypass with Monitoring
Amber	Warning	Disabled
Amber	Warning	Forced Bypass
