The system generates output similar to that in the system output below, but the output you see
varies based on the class and area you selected.
2. Enter the index number of the element for which Fabric Watch should enable monitoring.
Fabric Watch redraws the element table with the selected element enabled. A second row of
information about the selected element appears, and the status of the element is set to

Enabling and disabling all port thresholds
Sometimes, 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.
1. Use the following command to disable the port threshold.
switch:admin> fwConfigure --disable --port 9
2. To enable all the thresholds for a port, enter the following command at the prompt.
switch:admin> fwconfigure --enable --port 9
