Abstract

An infiniband architecture switch, includes a plurality of ports each configured to receive switch parameters, identify at least one data-packet error condition responsive to the switch parameters, generate a trap-initialization signal when the at least one data-packet error condition matches a trap-error condition, and a switch manager configured to receive the trap-initialization signal. A method for generating a switch manager control signal includes identifying at least one data-packet error condition in an infiniband architecture switch, determining when the at least one data-packet error condition matches a trap-error condition, generating a trap-initialization signal responsive to the trap-error condition, and forwarding the trap-initialization signal to a switch manager.
