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.
In the Administration > 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 the traffic health thresholds, refer to the “Traffic Health Thresholds” section in the GigaVUE-FM and GigaVUE-OS 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.

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.
