Description: This attribute counts the liveliness errors detected on the port. Liveliness errors are failures to receive yellow cells within a certain period of time. The value wraps to zero when it exceeds the maximum value.

Note: Yellow cells are special types of packets which are generated by the fabric port and detected by the fabric card and the fabric port in order to check the link liveness with the fabric card.

What is mscShelfCardFabricPortLivelinessErrors?

A count of liveliness errors on this fabric port -- failures to receive the periodic 'yellow cell' liveness heartbeat from the fabric card within the expected time. The counter wraps to zero at its maximum; a climbing count can indicate a marginal link to the fabric card.
