Monitoring the CIP Daughter Board

To monitor the CIP daughter board from the CiscoView Monitor Port Window, select Daughter Board from the CATEGORY popup menu. The following information is displayed:

Imp Incidents (implicitIncidents)

Shows the number of times the ESCON (Enterprise Systems Connection) processor recovers from an internal error. ESCON is IBM’s high-speed channel architecture.


Code Viol Err (codeViolationErrors)

Displays the number of recognized code violation errors. A trap is issued when this number exceeds the bit error rate threshold for ESCON. The bit error rate threshold is set at 15 error bursts within a 5 minute period. An error burst is the time period of 1.5 seconds plus or minus 0.05 seconds during which one or more code violation errors occur.


Sig/Sync Loss (linkFailureSignalOrSyncLoss)

Displays the number of link failures recognized as a result of a loss of signal or loss of synchronization that persisted longer than the link interval duration. The link interval duration is one second, with a tolerance of between 0 and +1.5 seconds.


Noss (linkFailureNOSs)

Displays the number of link failures recognized as a result of the not-operational sequence (NOS).


Sequence Tos (linkFailureSequenceTimeouts)

Displays the number of link failures recognized as a result of a connection recovery time-out or response time-out occurring while in transmit OLS state.


Inv Seqs (linkFailureInvalidSequences)

Displays the number of link failures recognized as a result of an invalid sequence for Link-Level-Facility State. Either a UD or UDR sequence was recognized while in the wait-for-offline-sequence state.
