Inheriting alert parameters from a switch
When you enable bottleneck detection on a switch, all eligible ports on that switch inherit the same
bottleneck parameters as the switch. You can then change the parameters for specific ports or
exclude specific ports from bottleneck detection.
Use the following procedure if you want to restore the switch bottleneck parameters to a port that
has direct assigned settings.
1. Select Monitor > Performance > Bottlenecks.
The Bottlenecks dialog box displays.
2. Select a port that has directly assigned bottleneck settings, which is indicated by a right arrow
in the Direct Assigned column.
3. Click Inherit From Switch.
4. Select the Alerts check box to enable alerts. Clear this check box to disable alerts.
The bottleneck parameters that are specified for the switch are applied to the port.
5. Click OK or Apply to save your changes.

and ports.
