Step 6. Disable and enable thresholds by port (optional)
On certain occasions, you might want to disable all port thresholds at once. For example, during an
event such as an upgrade of a device or server, you might elect not to receive error messages for
particular ports. When the upgrade is complete, you can show and enable disabled port
thresholds.
Enabling and disabling thresholds by port
swd77:admin> fwConfigure --disable --port 9
When you are ready to enable the disabled port thresholds, you can first view all previously
disabled ports using the following command:
swd77:admin> fwshow --disable --port
Port Threshold Status
=========================
9 disabled
A port is not considered disabled if one of the port thresholds is still enabled.
To enable all the thresholds for a port, at the command prompt enter:
swd77:admin> fwconfigure --enable --port 9
