INFINIBAND: "getportcounters" Command to check if there are any Issues on Ethernet ETH Connector Ports of IB Switch.

Below "getportcounters" Command can be used to check if there are any Issues on Ethernet ETH Connector Ports of IB Switch.

getportcounters <Connector Port>

For example if you want to check the counters on port 0A-ETH-1 above command looks as follows:

getportcountersm 0A-ETH-1

Below is sample output of above command. If we see RX CRC count increasing then it indicates a problem with connector port (either bad cable, loose cabling or issues with Switch connector port or external switch to which Switch connector port is cabled).
