to create and control a pie chart, graph or meter, see the chapter on charts, graphs

and meters in the SPMA Tools Guide.

Conﬁguring Forwarding Thresholds

You can deﬁne notiﬁcation thresholds for bridge port forwarding levels and then

have SPMA use those thresholds to do one or more of the following:

• Color code the Bridge Port display boxes

• Send Internet mail to a registered user

• Launch a program on your management workstation

To open the Forwarding Thresholds window:

1. Click button 3 anywhere within a Bridge Port display box in the Bridge View to

display the Port menu.

2. In the Port menu, click button 3 on Forwarding Thresholds —>Transparent

or Source Routing to open the Forwarding Thresholds window.

Since the Transparent and Source Routing Threshold windows look and function

the same, the window is described only once.
