16−0322 Switch fabric throughput capacity alarms

Type: Informational
Urgency: Medium
Publish Date: 15 Apr 2016
Region: ALL
Expiration: NA
Product category: Carrier Ethernet IP/MPLS & ATM Networks
Product line: Multiservice Core Switching Products
Product: 7450 ESS (Ethernet Service Switch)
Sub−product: ALL
Model: 7450 ESS−12, 7450 ESS−7
Version: 12.0, 13.0, 14.0
Product category: Carrier Ethernet IP/MPLS & ATM Networks
Product line: Multiservice Core Switching Products
Product: 7750 SR (Service Router)
Sub−product: IP, IP Mobile Backhaul, MG − Combo S/PGW, MG − PGW, MG − SGW, MG − WLAN GW
Model: 7750 SR−12, 7750 SR−7
Version: 12.0, 13.0, 14.0

Overview:
SR7/SR12 systems equipped with SFM5 Switch Fabric cards running at 6 Gig Fabric Speed can report switch fabric throughput capacity
alarms.
The alarms are triggered by Switch Fabric Link errors attributed to a sub optimal configuration of the Switch Fabric.

In SROS 12.0R.17, 13.0.R8 and 14.0.R2, a new command is available to optimize the configuration of the Switch Fabric.

This command is exclusively for SFM5 cards running at 6 Gig Fabric Speed.

7950 XRS, 7750 SR−12e (with SFM5) or SR7/12 systems running fabric−speed−b (10 Gig Fabric speed) are not affected.

The new CLI command is: "tools perform system set−trim−mode trim−mode−a(default) or trim−mode−b".

After this command is executed, both SFM5's must be cleared according to the procedure below.

Impact:
Although the alarms are generated, there is no traffic impact unless the line card throughput exceeds the available fabric capacity.

Action To Be Taken:
1) Confirm that the Switch Fabric is running in fabric−speed−a (6 Gig) mode:

*A:IBC−01# show chassis

Name : ABC−01
Type : 7750 SR−12
−−−− SNIP −−−−
Fabric Speed : 6 Gig <=== Switch Fabric Mode

===============================================================================

2) Verify the state of the Switch Fabric Capacity log events:

show log event−control "chassis" | match Fabric

2104 tmnxEqLowSwitchFabricCap MA sup 0 12

2105 tmnxEqLowSwitchFabricCapClear MA sup 0 12

3) Enable Switch Fabric Capacity logging:

configure log event−control "chassis" 2104 generate

configure log event−control "chassis" 2105 generate

4) Determine which SFM5 has experienced the most degradation.

It should be the first one to be cleared:

show system switch−fabric exclude−sfm 1/or/2

show sfm and wait until sfm 1 is back in service

clear sfm 2

show sfm and wait until sfm 2 is back in service.

tools dump system trim−mode to verify that the system is in trim−mode−b

Example of the cli Commands:

A:ABC−01# tools perform system set−trim−mode trim−mode−b

WARNING: CLI Cards and/or SFMs must be cleared for new trim mode to take effect.

*A:ABC−01# /clear sfm 1
