See Chapter 3, “Fabric Watch components” for more details about classes and areas.
Configuring thresholds for classes and areas
After you have identified and selected the appropriate class and areas, you can configure
thresholds for those classes and areas. If you want a basic configuration, accept the default
configuration settings. If you want to customize settings, type advanced configuration at the Select
choice => prompt.
See Chapter 4, “Fabric Watch thresholds” and Chapter 7, “Fabric Watch default settings” for more
details about threshold and buffer values.
NOTE
The allowed threshold configuration settings 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 the changes on such areas.
The area menu displays the following five options, which are described in the following sections:
1 : refresh
2 : disable a threshold
3 : enable a threshold
4 : advanced configuration
5 : return to previous page
