Setting Resource Thresholds
The health statistics software operates by monitoring set threshold levels on consumable
resources. When a resource exceeds a set level, a trap is generated and sent. These threshold
levels are set for the entire switch (or device) by using the hdcfg command. To set the thresh-
old level for a switch’s consumable resources, enter the hdcfg command at the system
prompt. The following screen appears:
Device-level Resource Monitoring Configuration
1) Set Bandwidth Thresholds :
2) Set Miscellaneous Thresholds :
3) Set Sampling Interval :
There are three sets of resources that are configurable:
•Bandwidth thresholds. These settings allow you to set a percentage of available bandwidth
for received traffic, sent traffic, and the backplane. For more information on setting band-
width thresholds, see Setting Bandwidth Thresholds on page 11-3.
•Miscellaneous thresholds. These settings allow to set a percentage for memory usage, VCC
usage, virtual port usage, and temperature. For more information on setting miscellaneous
thresholds, see Setting Miscellaneous Thresholds on page 11-4.
•Sampling interval. The sampling interval is the number of seconds between health statistics
checks. For information on how to set the sampling interval, see Setting the Sampling Inter-
val on page 11-6.
