Period — The time limit required (for the number of events) to trigger a port blocking action.

Area — The threshold type.

Removing thresholds

When you assign a new threshold to an object, the threshold that was active on that object is automatically removed. The Management application also allows you to remove thresholds from an individual Fabric, Switch, or Switch Port, from all Fabrics, Switches, and Switch Ports at once, as well as from the Threshold table.

Removing thresholds from individual objects

To remove thresholds from the All Fabrics object, an individual Fabric, Chassis group, Switch, or Switch Port, complete the following steps.

1.Select Monitor > Fabric Watch > Port Fencing. The Port Fencing dialog box displays.

2.Select a threshold type from the Violation Type list.

3.Select the object with the threshold you want to remove in the Ports table.

4.Click the left arrow.

NOTE

If the selected object inherits a threshold assignment from an object higher in the tree, you cannot remove the threshold. However, you may assign a different threshold directly to the selected subordinate objects or change the assignment on the higher object.

A removed icon () displays next to every instance where the threshold was removed from a selected object and it does not inherits a threshold from higher in the tree.

If an inherited threshold replaces the removed threshold, an added icon () displays next to every instance where the threshold was replaced.
