axi2apb is a bridge which coverts an AXI to APB interface and not a bus.
CBB stretches to the various partitions using different bridges like 
axi2apb, axip2p etc connected either as single or in chain.
The bridge reports if error and that gets logged in NOC's error logger.
For APB slaves, all errors are logged as slave errors as there is a 
single error bit. So, we need to read the error status register of the 
bridges to further triage the reason of the error.

All the cbb noc nodes in T194 and fabric nodes in T234 are under "bus@0" 
node.
