set errordetection
To enable or disable various error detections, use the set errordetection command.
set errordetection inband enable | disable
set errordetection memory enable | disable
set errordetection portcounters enable | disable
Syntax Description
Defaults The defaults are as follows:
• Inband error detection is disabled.
• Port counter error detection is disabled.
• Memory error detection is disabled.
Command Types Switch command.
Command Modes Privileged.
Usage Guidelines The set errordetection command is useful for monitoring the switch. If an error is detected, a syslog
message informs you that a problem exists before noticeable performance degradation occurs. For
example:
• set errordetection inband—Displays the type of inband failure occurrence, such as inband stuck,
resource errors, and inband fail when you start the switch.
• set errordetection memory—Displays the address where the memory corruption occurred.
• set errordetection portcounters—Displays the module and port number and the counter that had
the problem between two consecutive polls.
Examples This example shows how to enable memory error detection:
Console> (enable) set errordetection memory enable
Memory error detection enabled.
Console> (enable)
inband Detects errors in the inband (sc0) interface.
enable Enables the specified error detection.
disable Disables the specified error detection.
memory Detects memory corruption.
portcounters Monitors and polls port counters.
