DESCRIPTION

Cisco::UCS::Common::EthernetPort is a class used to represent a single Ethernet port in a Cisco::UCS system. This class provides functionality to retrieve information and statistics for Ethernet ports.

Please note that you should not need to call the constructor directly as Cisco::UCS::Common::EthernetPort objects are created for you automatically via methods in other Cisco::UCS packages like the i<get_ports> method in Cisco::UCS::Interconnect.

Dependent on UCSM version, some attributes of the Ethernet port may not be provided and hence the accessor methods may return an empty string.

METHODS

admin_state

The administrative state of the port.

chassis_id

The numeric id of the chassis to which this port is connected. This value will be blank for port that are configured as network uplinks.

dn

The distinguished name of the port in the Cisco UCS management heirarchy.

epDn

The dn of the object to which the remote end of this port is connected.

id

The port number in the relevant to the current slot.

if_role

The role of the port. e.g. 'server' for server links or 'network' for network uplinks.

if_type

The type of the port - either physical or virtual.

label

The user-defined label given to the port (may be blank).

license_state

The license state of the port.

mac

The MAC address of the port.

mode

The access mode of the port.

peer_dn

The UCS management heirarchy distinguished name of the peer port to which this port is connected.

peer_port_id

The numerical identifier of the peer port to which this port is connected.

oper_state

The operational state of the port.

oper_speed

The operational speed of the port.

rcvr_type

The physical interface receiver type.

switch_id

The id of the Fabric Interconnect on which the port is located.

type

The network type of the port.

STATISTICAL METHODS

The statistics methods listed below allow retrieval of interface counter statistical data. These methods fall into three broad categories; transmit (tx), receive (rx) and error (err).

CACHING AND NON-CACHING STATISTICAL METHODS

All statistical methods are implemented in both a non-caching and caching form; non-caching methods always query the UCSM for data retrieval and therefore may be more expensive in terms of system and network resources than the equivalent caching method. Non-caching methods are always named using the form:

   get_<type>_<counter_name>

Where type is one of rx, tx or err as described in the STATISTICS METHODS section above, and counter_name is the name of the counter as per the section below.

Caching methods return a cached result retrieved during a previous query if available, if cached data retrieved from a previous query is not available, then a the UCSM is queried for the requested data. Caching methods are named using the same form as non-caching methods excluding the prefix get_.

Because UCSM queries may be expensive it is important to note the way in which caching has been implemented and the potential side-effects that this may have. In brief, when a non-caching method is executed for a particular counter type (tx, rx or err) either implicitly or explicitly, all other available counters for that type are also retrieved and cached.

This may introduce side-effects and action-at-a-distance and thus, and Cisco::UCS::Common::EthernetPort objects cannot be considered reentrant.

COMMON STATISTICAL METHODS

Transmit, receive and error counter data share the following common methods that are a function of the underlying collection method.

get_tx_intervals get_rx_intervals get_err_intervals tx_intervals rx_intervals err_intervals

Returns the number of counter collection intervals that have elapsed since the last clearing of interface counters.

get_tx_timestamp get_rx_timestamp get_err_timestamp tx_timestamp rx_timestamp err_timestamp

Returns the timestamp of the last time that the counter was updated.

get_tx_suspect get_rx_suspect get_err_suspect tx_suspect rx_suspect err_suspect

Returns a true value if the counter information is suspect, returns null otherwise.

get_tx_update get_rx_update get_err_update tx_update rx_update err_update

Returns the (assumed) update number for the retrieved statistics data.
