Displays and modifies the Fabric Watch configuration.
Synopsis fwconfigure [--enable --port portNumber] | [--disable --port portNumber]
Description Use this command to display and modify threshold information for the Fabric Watch configuration.
Switch elements monitored by Fabric Watch are divided into classes, which are further divided into
areas. Each area can include multiple thresholds. In addition, the command can be used to disable
or enable all thresholds associated with a given port.
This command requires a Fabric Watch license.
Not all platforms support fans or power supplies. If you attempt to configure values for these items,
an “ERROR: No threshold available” error message is displayed.
The Fabric Watch classes and areas are provided in the table. The following restrictions apply:
1. The Port class does not support VE and VEX ports, except for State Changes.
2. The E_port class has the same port limitations as the port class except under the following
condition: On a Brocade 48000 with a FR4-18i blade, or on the Brocade 7500, the E_Port
class monitors the following additional ports and creates monitors for each of the logical ports:
- FCR (includes EX_Ports)
- FCIP (includes VE_Ports, VEX_Ports)
3. SFP Class: SFPs connected to GbE ports are not monitored.
For more Information, refer to the Fabric Watch Administrator’s Guide.
The Fabric Watch classes and areas are provided in the table.
