Brocade Fabric OS Documentation Updates - Supporting Fabric OS v6.4.x (53-1002063-09, August 2012)

Fabric OS Documentation Updates 25

53-1002063-09

fwShow

The fwShow command was deprecated in Fabric OS v6.4.0 along with fwConfigure. Typically, when

Brocade announces deprecation of a command for a given Fabric OS release, the commands are still

functional and only an announcement is made in the preface. The man pages are kept intact until the

commands are removed in the following release.

For the fwShow command, the man page was accidentally removed from the printed manual. It is

reprinted below.

fwShow

Displays the class thresholds monitored by Fabric Watch.

Synopsis fwshow [--port --persistence] | [--disable --port]

Description Use this command to display the thresholds monitored by Fabric Watch. This command also

displays the port persistence time and ports with all disabled thresholds.

For a description of the class thresholds supported in Fabric OS and the restrictions that apply to

some of the classes in terms of support for V/VE/VEX ports and GbE ports, refer to the help page

for fwConfigure or consult the Fabric Watch Administrator's Guide.

In Access Gateway mode, only the following class thresholds are supported. F/FL Port (Copper)

class threshold is supported only on Embedded platforms.

Notes This command requires a Fabric Watch license.

The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may

be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS commands" and Appendix A, "Command

Availability" for details.

Operands The operands are as follows:
