portThConfig

--set Configures the Fabric Watch thresholds for monitoring a specified area for all
ports of a specified port type. When configuring a threshold, you must specify
a port type and area. The following operands are optional and valid only with
the --set option. Defaults are used unless you configure custom settings.
Defaults parameters vary depending on the area and platform. Refer to the
Fabric Watch Administrator’s Guide for specific details.
-timebase time_base
Specifies the time interval between two samples to be compared. Valid
intervals are:
day Samples are compared once a day.
hour Samples are compared once every hour.
minute Samples are compared once every minute.
second Samples are compared once every second.
-highthreshold -value value
Specifies the high threshold value for triggering a specified alert action. To
change the default value, provide an integer value.
-lowthreshold -value value
Specifies the low threshold for triggering a specified alert action. To change
the default value, provide an integer value.
-trigger above | below
Specifies the actions for in range port behavior. In range is defined as the
space above the low threshold and below the high threshold.
-action actions
Specifies the actions triggered by a configured event condition. Valid values
include one or more of the following actions. If more than one action is
specified, the actions must be separated by commas.
raslog Event triggers a RASlog message.
snmp Event triggers an SNMP trap.
email Event triggers an e-mail.
poortlog Event triggers a port log entry
none Event triggers no action.
-buffer value Specifies the buffer value for in range behavior. A buffer defines a zone within
which event criteria are met, rather than a single threshold value. This
operand is valid only with the -trigger options.
-nosave Prevents the configuration changes from being saved persistently. This option
allows you to make and view changes without overwriting the saved
configuration. When you use --set with the -nosave option and the switch
reboots your changes will be lost.
--apply Applies the custom or default configuration for thresholds, actions, or both.
This command allows you to toggle between custom and default settings. The
specified configuration takes effect upon execution of this command. When
you select custom, the saved configuration becomes effective. You must
specify a port type and area when applying a configuration.
