SEC The security daemon generates security errors, warnings, or information during security-related data
management or fabric merge operations. Administrators should watch for these messages to
distinguish between internal switch and fabric operation errors and external attacks.
SFLO sFlow is a standard-based sampling technology embedded within switches and routers, which is
used to monitor high-speed network traffic for Data Center Ethernet (DCE) and Converged Enhanced
Ethernet (CEE) platforms.
sFlow uses two types of sampling:
•
Statistical packet-based sampling of switched or routed packet flows.
•
Time-based sampling of interface counters.
SFLO messages indicate errors or information related to the sflowd daemon.
SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a universally supported low-level protocol that
allows simple get, get next, and set requests to go to the switch (acting as an SNMP agent). It also
allows the switch to send traps to the defined and configured management station. Brocade
switches support six management entities that can be configured to receive these traps.
SPC SPC messages indicate problems and informational updates associated with the security processor.
These messages could be triggered by the following three modules: Security processor controller, SP
system controller, and SP Keyapp.
SPM Error messages indicating problems either with key or SP management.
SS The supportSave command generates these error messages if problems are encountered.
SSMD SSMD error messages indicate problems with the System Services Module of the Fabric OS.
SULB The software upgrade library provides the firmwareDownload command capability, which enables
firmware upgrades to both CP blades with a single command, as well as nondisruptive code load to
all Fabric OS switches. These messages might display if there are any problems during the
firmwareDownload procedure. Most messages are informational only and are generated even during
successful firmware download. For additional information, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s
Guide.
SWCH These messages are generated by the switch driver module that manages a Fibre Channel switch
instance.
SYSC System controller is a daemon that starts up and shuts down all Fabric OS modules in the proper
sequence.
SYSM General system messages.
TAPE A kernel-space driver that handles all I/O operations aimed at Tape containers.
TRCE RAS TRACE error messages.
TRCK The track change feature tracks the following events:
•
Turning on or off the track change feature
•
CONFIG_CHANGE
•
LOGIN
•
LOGOUT
•
FAILED_LOGIN
If any of these events occur, a message is sent to the system message log. Additionally, if the SNMP
trap option is enabled, an SNMP trap is also sent.
For information on configuring the track change feature, refer to the Fabric OS Command Reference
or the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.
TS Time Service provides fabric time-synchronization by synchronizing all clocks in the fabric to the
clock time on the principal switch.
