Configuring the port status detection timer
Some protocols might shut down ports under specific circumstances. For example, MSTP shuts down a
BPDU guard–enabled port when the port receives a BPDU. In this case, you can set the port status
detection timer. If the port is still down when the detection timer expires, the protocol module
automatically cancels the shutdown action and restores the port to its original physical status.
To configure the port status detection timer:
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view. system-view N/A
2. Configure the port status
detection timer.
shutdown-interval time
Optional.
By default, the detection timer is 30 seconds.
Setting the temperature thresholds for a card
You can set the temperature alarm thresholds to monitor the temperature of a card. When the
temperature of a card reaches the threshold, the firewall generates alarms.

By default, the lower temperature
alarm threshold is 0°C (32°F), and
the upper one is 50°C (122°F).
Monitoring an NMS-connected interface
Typically, the device does not send notifications to its NMS when the IP address of an interface changes.
If the IP address of the interface used by the device to communicate with the NMS changes, the NMS will
be unable to communicate with the device unless the new management IP address of the device is
manually updated or the device is re-added with the new IP address to the NMS database.
To solve this problem, you can configure the device to monitor the NMS connected interface for IP
address changes and notify the NMS to update with the new IP address.
You can configure one primary and one secondary interface for the device to communicate with the
NMS, but the device monitors only one of them at one time. If the IP address of the monitored interface
in UP state changes, whether because of manual reassignment or DHCP reassignment, the device
notifies the NMS of the new IP address.
The device preferentially monitors the primary interface. HP recommends you specify the interface that
the optimal route uses to reach the NMS or that has more reliable link as the primary.
The device selects a new interface to monitor when the primary interface goes down, the interface IP
address is deleted, or the role of the interface is removed by using the undo nms { primary | secondary }
monitor-interface command.
