Brocade Communications Systems IP250 user manual Thresholds

20 Thresholds

•Ports table — All managed fabric, director, switch, port type, and port objects (label and icon) in its hierarchical relationship to the other objects in the tree.

Ports — Displays all discovered fabrics, devices, and ports as both text and icons.

Port Type — The operational port type of the port. This field displays as inactive (grayed-out) when either the object’s firmware does not support Port Fencing or the object is only partially managed by the management application.

Directly Assigned — A right arrow icon to indicate that the threshold is directly assigned to this object and is inherited by all objects below it in the tree. This field displays as inactive (grayed-out) when either the object’s firmware does not support Port Fencing or the object is only partially managed by the management application.

Changed indicator — The change icons in real time when you change information in the dialog box. One change icon indicates a new threshold was applied (either directly or inherited) to the port, and another indicates that a threshold was removed from this object (during this session) and no threshold applies to the port.

Threshold_type Threshold — The name of the ISL threshold policy.

Limit (Fabric OS) — The number of events allowed for the assigned threshold.

If the object has no fencing support or no fencing changes, this field displays two hyphens separated by a space (- -). When the object is only partially managed by the management application, this field displays as inactive (grayed-out).

Period (Fabric OS) — The time limit (in seconds or minutes) for the assigned threshold. This field displays as inactive (grayed-out) when the object is only partially managed by the management application.

Operational State — The operational state of the port.

Blocked Configuration — The current configuration of the port (Blocked or Unblocked).

Port WWN — The port world wide name of the port.

Connected Product — The device label of the connected object.

Connected Port # — The port number of the connected port.

Connected Port WWN — The port world wide name of the connected port.

Connected Port Name — The name of the connected port configured in the Element Manager.

FC Address — The FC address of the port.

•Properties button — Click to display the Properties dialog box for the fabric, switch, or port selected in the Ports table. The All Fabrics and Port Type objects do not have properties. For more information, refer to “Viewing SAN device properties” on page 1302.

•Unblock button — Click to unblock a blocked port after a warning message displays (refer to “Unblocking a port” on page 686). This button becomes active after you select a blocked port in the Ports table.

2.Click OK on the Port Fencing dialog box.

Thresholds

You can create thresholds, which you can then assign to available objects in the tree. Port Fencing threshold types include the following:

•C3 Discard Frames (Fabric OS only)

•Invalid CRCs (Fabric OS only)
