Use the information in the following tables to learn about all possible fabric health alerts in detail that are raised by Fault Management.

Table 1. Port Flap Alert
31600 Port Flap Alert
Description Send an alert when there is continuous port flap on a registered fabric device port.
Preconditions The SFP is faulty or there are other hardware issues.

The number of admin ups is greater than configured threshold within a specified time interval. The threshold value for number of admin ups are greater than 5 and the time interval is 30 seconds

Requirements

Alert shows the following data:

  • Device IP
  • Port Name
The following is an example of a port flap alert:
