Using the 7C0x SmartSwitch Bridge View

4.Notification Conditions make your Notification Options subject to defined conditions:

a.If you check the In—Out—Inbox, notification takes place when the threshold passes from one range to another and then back. The number in the Delay box specifies the number of times this transition is to take place before notification is launched. TheCurrent box counts down the transitions.

b.If you select the Remain—Inbox, notification takes place when the threshold passes from one range to another, and stays in that range for the number of polling cycles specified in theDelay box.

c.If you check the Once Only box, notification only takes place the first time the Delay count is reached.

5.The Save option gives you three choices as to how the options and conditions you have selected will be saved.

a.If you choose Disabled, none of the options and conditions you have chosen will be saved to the bridge database.

b.If you select As Default, the chosen options and conditions will be saved as default values. The saved information will be used for any IP not having an entry in the bridge database.

c.If you select By IP, the options and conditions chosen for that IP will be saved to the bridge database, and the next time the application is run for this device the saved values will be used.

6.When you’re finished setting thresholds and notification options, click button 3 on the Apply button and choose either Selected Only or All. Selected Only applies the selected Forwarding Thresholds settings to the ports that are highlighted in the scroll list near the top of the Forwarding Thresholds window.
