Documentation updates for Fabric Watch v7.1.0 and later
Chapter 1. Fabric Watch
In the existing “Logical switch support” section, the following paragraph needs to be updated:
A logical interswitch link (LISL) is the logical portion of the physical connection that joins base
switches. You can enable or disable port thresholds and create thresholds for state changes on
LISLs, but Fabric Watch does not support other threshold areas such as link loss or signal loss for
LISLs as it does for normal E_Ports.
This paragraph should read as follows:
Fabric Watch does not support threshold areas such as link loss or signal loss or state changes for
logical interswitch links (LISLs) as it does for normal E_Ports.
Chapter 6. Fabric, Security, SFP, and Performance Monitoring
Add a new section, “Monitoring the filter performance class” before the “16 Gbps SFP and QSFP
monitoring” section with the following information:
You can monitor the Filter Performance Monitor class and specify a filter monitor to be tracked by
Fabric Watch.
To specify and track a filter monitor, enter the thConfig command using the following parameters.
switch:admin> thconfig --set filter -area PERFPT -high -val 10
The PERFPT area provides threshold values to the user-defined frame type. When a new
user-defined frame type is created using the fmMonitor command, the threshold value is
automatically based on the PERFPT configuration at the time the frame type is created. In the
above example, the high threshold value is 10. Therefore, all frame monitors configured hereafter
will have a high threshold value of 10.
Chapter 7. Port Monitoring
In Table 17, “E_Port class default settings” on page 56, remove the rows for “Packet loss (VE_Port
only)” and “Utilization”.
