Threshold configuration

Port threshold configuration using the portThConfig command
Instead of using the the fwConfigure command to manage the port thresholds, you can use the
portThConfig command to configure high and low thresholds , buffers, triggers, and actions on
specified ports.
NOTE
If you want a basic configuration, accept the default configuration settings, which are listed in
“Fabric Watch default settings.”
Configuring port thresholds using the portThConfig command
Use the portThConfig command to configure high and low thresholds on specified port types. Refer
to Appendix C, “portThConfig examples” for port threshold configuration examples using the
portThConfig command.
The port type specifies the port for which to configure or display a threshold. Valid port types
include one of the following: Port (physical port), E_Port, FOP_Port (Fabric port with Optic), and
VE_Port. Configurable areas for the VE_Port are limited to three: port utilization, packet loss, and
state change.
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the portThConfig command to display the list of operands.
The portThConfig menu displays.
