Setting Temperature Thresholds
You can set temperature thresholds by which the switch will generate an alarm or
place the switch offline. The Temperature Thresholds dialog shown in Figure 4-6
prompts you to enter a warning threshold and a failure threshold temperature in
°C.
■ If the switch internal temperature exceeds the warning threshold, the switch
generates an alarm.
■ If the switch internal temperature exceeds the failure threshold and the
Enable Temperature Failure Port Shutdown box is checked, the switch
generates an alarm and places all ports offline.

■ Power cycle the switch.

Configuring a Switch
Switch configuration is divided into two areas: chassis configuration and network
configuration. Chassis configuration specifies switch-wide Fibre Channel settings.
Network configuration specifies Ethernet and SNMP settings.
To open the Switch Properties window, open the Switch menu and select Switch
Properties. You may also right-click a switch graphic in the topology display or
faceplate display, and select Switch Properties from the popup menu.
