A threshold alert notifies users when the transmit (Tx) or receive (Rx) throughput reaches specified values for specific switch ports or port types, (E_Ports or F_Ports).
You are notified of a threshold alert in four ways:
•An attention indicator (yellow triangle) that displays on the port in the Hardware View page.
•An attention indicator (yellow triangle) that displays in the Alert column of the Port List View page.
•An attention indicator (yellow triangle) that displays by the Threshold Alerts field in the Port Properties dialog box.
•Detailed threshold alert data is recorded in the Threshold Alert Log.
Choose Configure > Threshold Alerts to configure the following:
•Name for the alert.
•Type of threshold for the alert (Rx, Tx, or either).
•Active or inactive state of the alert.
•Threshold criteria:
—Percent traffic capacity utilized. This is the percent of the port’s throughput capacity achieved by the measured throughput. This setting constitutes the threshold value. For example the value of 50 means that the port’s threshold is reached when throughput is 50% of capacity.
—Time interval during which throughput is measured and alert notification can occur.
—The time that the percentage of throughput capacity (% utilization) must exist during the set time interval before an alert generates.
•Ports for which you are configuring threshold alerts.
You can configure up to 16 alerts, and any number of alerts can be active at one time.
