Does anyone know what gmac_rmac_sync_loss_errcnt device errors mean?

[peterk]

Does anyone know what the following devic error counter "gmac_rmac_sync_loss_errcnt" on a Gbic Transceiver (CWDM-1530) mean and where I may locate information regarding these types of controller counters?

This GBIC is deployed on a cisco GE-3 card. GSR family.

gmac_host_cpuif_sm_errcnt 0

gmac_mac_cpuif_sm_errcnt 0

gmac_cpuif_slv_sm_errcnt 0

gmac_cpuif_mst_sm_errcnt 0

gmac_rmac_sync_loss_errcnt 37338

gmac_rmac_config_changed_errcnt 0

Count-up of gmac_rmac_sync_loss_errcnt is the fault of a low layer.

Check the following for correct operation.
