NAME
Cisco::UCS::Common::EthernetPort - Class for operations with a Cisco UCS Ethernet Port.
SYNOPSIS
print "FI A port 1/2 operational_speed is " . $ucs->interconnect(A)->card(1)->eth_port(2)->oper_speed;
print ', total bytes transmitted is ", $ucs->interconnect(A)->card(1)->eth_port(1)->tx_total_bytes, ".\n";
# Prints:
# FI A port 1/2 operational_speed is 10gbps, total bytes transmitted is 120230320434028.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.

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.

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.
