Step 1. Configuring the class and area
During your planning activities, you should determine exactly what elements or monitors you want
to configure, and in which class they reside. After you have made this decision, you need to identify
the classes.
1. Using the CLI, log in to the switch as Admin.
2. Navigate to a specific class and area with the fwConfigure command.
The fwConfigure menu displays.
swd77:admin> fwconfigure
1 : Environment class
2 : SFP class
3 : Port class
4 : Fabric class
5 : E-Port class
6 : F/FL Port (Optical) class
7 : Alpa Performance Monitor class
8 : EEPerformance Monitor class
9 : Filter PerformanceMonitorclass
10 : Security class
11 : Resource class
12 : Quit
Select a class => : (1..12) [12] 5
The fwConfigure menu contains 12 menu items. The first 11 items correspond to the classes
available for configuration. The Quit menu item, which is the default, exits the fwConfigure
menu.
NOTE
For switches with embedded ports or copper ports, the fwConfigure menu has 13 menu items.
An additional menu item for F/FL Port (Copper) class is displayed.
3. Type the number from the list that corresponds to the class that you want to configure. For
example, if you type 5, the menu corresponding to the E_Port class displays.
1 : Link loss
2 : Sync loss
3 : Signal loss
4 : Protocol error
5 : Invalid words
6 : Invalid CRCS
7 : RXPerformance
8 : TXPerformance
9 : State Changes
10 : return to previous page
Select an area => : (1..10) [10] 7
For each class that you select, Fabric Watch provides a list of the areas of the class available
for configuration. The final item in the list, which is always the default, returns you to the
previous selection screen.
4. Type the number corresponding to the area that you want to configure, such as 7 for
RXPerformance. Fabric Watch displays a list of monitored elements in this area. The following
sample output shows the monitored elements in the RXPerformance area menu.
