The details of those errors covered under CloudIQ:
| Error | Description |
| CISCO | |
| discards | number of frames discarded by this port, Including Class 2, Class 3, and Class F frames, EISL frames, and totals. |
| errors | number of errors because of corrupt data on the wire |
| crcFcs | number of cyclic redundancy check (CRC) errors |
| unknownClass | number of frames with unknown class errors |
| tooLong | number of frames received that were longer than 2140 octets |
| tooShort | number of frames received that were shorter than 28 octets |
| timeoutDiscards | number of frames discarded by this port due to timeout |
| creditLoss | number of Credit loss occurred while the Rx queue was not empty |
| inputOls | number of offline sequences received |
| inputNos | number of not operational sequences received |
| inputLoopInits | number of loop initialization procedure (LIP) received |
| outputOls | number of offline sequences transmitted |
| outputNos | number of not operational sequences transmitted |
| outputLoopInits | number of loop initialization procedure (LIP) transmitted |
| linkFailures | number of link failures at this port |
| syncLosses | number of instances of synchronization loss detected at this port |
| signalLosses | number of signal loss instances detected at this port |
| framesBusy | The number of F_BSY (fabric busy) frames generated |
| framesRejected | The number of F_RJT (fabric frame reject) frames generated |
| primitiveSequenceProtocolErrors | number of primitive sequence protocol errors detected at this port |
| invalidTransmissionWords | number of invalid transmission words received at this port |
| delimiterErrors | number of invalid frame delimiters that are received at this port. An example would be a frame that has a class 2 start and a class 3 at the end |
| addressIdentifierErrors | number of frames received with unknown addressing. An example is an unknown SID or DID. The SID or DID is not known to the routing algorithm |
| fragmentedFramesRx | The number of times fragmented frames were received |
| eofAbortsRx | The number of times invalid EoF frames were received |
| disparityErrors | number of disparity errors received at this port |
| elpRequestFailures | The number of times ELP requests failed |
| txB2bCreditZero | The number of times BB credit zero state was transmitted |
| rxB2bCreditZero | The number of times BB credit zero state was received |
| eislFramesDiscarded | The number of Enhanced Inter Switch Link (EISL) frames discarded by this port |
| fecCorrected | The number of frames which were successfully detected and corrected by FEC |
| fecUncorrected | The number of frames uncorrected by the FEC |
| class3Discards | The number of Class 3 frames discarded by this port |
| reset | indicates whether a reset occurred during the metric interval |
| BROCADE | |
| outOfflineSequences | number of offline sequences received |
| inOfflineSequences | number of offline sequences transmitted |
| invalidOrderedSets | number of invalid ordered sets received |
| framesTooLong | number of frames received that were longer than 2140 octets. The value of 2140 is calculated based on an assumption of 24 header bytes plus 4 CRC bytes and 2112 bytes of payload |
| truncatedFrames | number of truncated frames |
| addressErrors | number of frames received with unknown addressing. An example is an unknown SID or DID. The SID or DID is not known to the routing algorithm |
| delimiterErrors | number of invalid frame delimiters that are received at this port. An example would be a frame that has a class 2 start and a class 3 at the end |
| encodingDisparityErrors | number of disparity errors received at this port |
| tooManyRdys | number of instances that the number of RDYs (readys) exceeded the number of frames received |
| inCrcErrors | number of CRC errors for all frames received |
| badEofsReceived | number of frames with bad EOF frames received |
| encodingErrorsOutsideFrame | number of encoding error or disparity error outside frames received |
| inLcs | number of link control (lcs) frames received |
| inputBufferFull | number of transitions in and out of Input Buffer Full state |
| linkFailures | number of link failures at this port |
| crcErrors | number of times that the CRC in a frame does not match the CRC that is computed by the receiver. This count is part of the Link Error Status Block (LESB) |
| invalidTransmissionWords | number of invalid transmission words received at this port |
| primitiveSequenceProtocolError | number of primitive sequence protocol errors detected at this port |
| lossOfSignal | number of signal loss instances detected at this port |
| lossOfSync | number of instances of synchronization loss detected at this port |
| pcsBlockErrors | number of physical coding sublayer (PCS) block errors. This counter records encoding violations on 10 Gbps or 16 Gbps ports |
| fBusyFrames | The number of F_BSY (fabric busy) frames generated |
| fRjtFrames | The number of F_RJT (fabric frame reject) frames generated |
| class3Discards | The number of Class 3 frames discarded by this port |
| class3OutDiscards | The number of Class 3 out frames discarded by this port |
| reset | indicates whether a reset occurred during the metric interval |
Cause

Resolution
Ports with Errors is triggered based upon the following criteria:
Number of switch interfaces that met one of the following criteria when the last collection was taken from the switch:
Number of switch interfaces that met one of the following criteria when the last collection was taken from the switch:
- A change in an interface error counter of greater than or equal to 100 occurred between the current sample and a previous sample.
- Greater than or equal to 50% of the samples from a given interface over the past hour have incremented an error counter.
- Greater than or equal to 50% of the hour intervals from a given interface over the past 24 hours have met either of the above criteria.
