Module: FA-EXT-MIB
OID (symbolic): FA-EXT-MIB::swConnUnitPortFECState

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-only
Description: This represents FEC state of a port.If in link both sfp connected are of brocade vendor type then state is active, else it will be inactive.
What is swConnUnitPortFECState?
This value reports whether Forward Error Correction is actually operating (active) or not (inactive) on the link, distinct from whether FEC is merely configured or enabled. Per the MIB, FEC only goes active when the SFPs on both ends of the link are Brocade-branded; a third-party or mixed-vendor SFP pair forces it inactive even if FECMode is enabled. An admin troubleshooting unexpectedly high error rates on a 16G link would check swConnUnitPortFECState and might discover it reads inactive(2) because a non-Brocade SFP is installed at one end.
