Configuring Fabric Watch thresholds

NOTE

Not all areas allow for the customization of all fields. If you attempt an illegal modification, Fabric

Watch displays an error message. Ensure that all changes to the threshold and event setting areas

of the screen are confirmed before leaving advanced configuration, or the changes are lost.

Step 4: Disable and enable thresholds by port (optional)

On certain occasions, you might want to disable all port thresholds at once. For example, during an

event such as an upgrade of a device or server, you might elect not to receive error messages for

particular ports. When the upgrade is complete, you can show and enable disabled port

thresholds.

To disable all the thresholds for a port, at the command prompt enter:

swd77:admin> fwConfigure --disable --port 9

When you are ready to enable the disabled port thresholds, you can first view all previously

disabled ports using the following command:

swd77:admin> fwshow --disable --port

Port Threshold Status

=========================

9 disabled

A port is not considered disabled if one of the port thresholds is still enabled.

To enable all the thresholds for a port, at the command prompt enter:

swd77:admin> fwconfigure --enable --port 9
