Using the 7C0x SmartSwitch Bridge View
2.In the Modify Range section of the Forwarding Thresholds window, you can edit the line that displays the high end of the Low and Mid ranges, or you can use the slide bars to specify the thresholds. You can also assign a color to each of the three ranges. The Bridge Port boxes on the Bridge Traffic View will be colored according to the settings made here (i.e., if you assign the color red to the High traffic range, then a Bridge Port box will be colored red when its traffic range is High). To set the high end of the Low and Mid ranges, and assign color codes to all three ranges:
a.Change the upper limit of the Low and Mid traffic ranges by highlighting the value, typing the new value, and pressing Enter or Return. You may also change the value by moving the slide bar next to the value you wish to change until the desired range is reached.
b.By default, bridge ports are color coded in the Bridge Traffic View according to their traffic level: Low range is green; Mid range is yellow; High range is red. To assign color codes to the three traffic ranges, click on the Low, Mid, or High buttons to the left of the range fields, drag to highlight the desired color, and release. The selected color will be displayed on the button, and will be used in the Bridge Port boxes when the color’s corresponding range is reached.
3.In the Notification Options section, you can enable/disable threshold event logging, enable/disable the Bridge Port box colors, and assign threshold events (send mail or execute a program) to the different (or to all) threshold ranges. To do so:
a.To disable threshold event logging, deselect the Log Changes in State checkbox. By default, all threshold events are logged. For more information about the Forwarding Log, see Viewing the Forwarding Log on page
b.To enable/disable the colors, click button 1 on the Color box. When colors are disabled, the Bridge Port box colors in the Bridge Traffic View remain as they were when the colors were last enabled.
c.To send mail or execute a program when a threshold range is reached, first click theThreshold Range button to which you want to apply the threshold event. To send mail for a threshold event, select the Send Mail box and enter the name of a registered mail user. To have a threshold event launch a program, select the Execute Program (Args) box and enter the name of an executable file, including required arguments.
