Using the 7C0x SmartSwitch Bridge View
A traffic level is the specified value of forwarded frames as a percentage of total received frames.
You can specify traffic levels that 
define the boundary between the
low and medium ranges and between the medium and high ranges.
When SPMA polls the device and detects that the percentage of forwarded frames has moved into a new range, heading either up or down, the notification options and conditions in use for that port take place.
Figure 6-15. Port Forwarding Thresholds Window
NOTE |
SPMA polls a bridge at preset intervals, as defined in the Polling Intervals window accessed from the Bridge View Device menu. A port’s traffic level can pass from one range to the next and then back to the original level between polls from SPMA. When this occurs, SPMA won’t record that the threshold has been passed because the event was never observed.
To set bridge port thresholds, notification options, and notification conditions:
1.In the Forwarding Thresholds window, highlight the port where you want to set thresholds. You can select multiple ports by clicking button 1 on each one. To deselect a port, click it again. To apply the settings to all bridge ports, you can use the options provided at the bottom of the screen rather than selecting all ports in the scroll list.
