Defining Thresholds for VF Impairments
Use the VF Thresholds commands to define or change the thresholds for VF
impairments displayed by NMS.
VF thresholds identify the acceptable level of impairment to the network’s lines.
You define the upper and/or lower limits for each type of impairment. These limits
are the range of values that appear on the VF Status window (accessed through
Device Management).
Use the VF Thresholds Action Commands (Table 4-10) to save, reset, or print
the VF Thresholds.
