Fabric Watch threshold configuration

6. Use the following commands to switch between custom and default values:

• fwSetToCustom

Sets the boundary and alarm level to custom

• fwSetToDefault

Restores the boundary and alarm level to the default

See Chapter 1, “Fabric Watch Concepts” for details about the event setting table and

notification methods for each of the possible event settings.

For details about advanced configuration menu options, see Table 12 on page 35.

Step 5. Alarm configuration

NOTE

The allowed alarm types are displayed on a per-class basis. Although Port Fencing is displayed for

other areas, such as RX Performance, for which Port Fencing is not supported, you will not be able

to set or apply changes on such areas.

Alarms act as a signal or alert that notifies you when a threshold has been crossed. You can

configure the following types of notification settings for Fabric Watch:

• Triggered

A triggered behavior type signals you once after a threshold has been crossed. Triggered is the

default behavior type signal for all class areas.

• Continuous

A continuous behavior type signals you continuously after a threshold has been crossed.

Changing the alarm for the RXPerformance class

You can change the above alarm for the RXPerformance class. The value is the sum of the alarm

matrix values; for example, PortFencing-32, SnmpTrap-2, and Errlog-1 (32+2+1=35).

1. Add the numbers beside each state that you want to include. The values for the states are:

• Errlog - 1

• SnmpTrap - 2

• PortLogLock - 4

• RapiTrap - 8

• EmailAlert - 16

• PortFencing - 32

2. Enter the total at the prompt.
