Traffic-Overload

 

The port’s traffic surpasses the Traffic-Threshold for

 

 

 

 

 

that port (provided this setting is Enabled).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Traffic-Threshold (%)

 

Enter a nonzero number if the port’s

 

 

 

 

 

Traffic-Overload setting is Enabled.

Traffic-Durationseconds if the average

 

 

 

 

 

Traffic-Threshold is surpassed during that time

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

period.

 

 

 

NOTE

The Traffic-Overload,Traffic-Threshold (%), and Traffic-Duration (sec.) Port Event settings

 

are related. If you Enable the Traffic-Overload event, then be sure to enter a nonzero

 

Traffic-Threshold percentage, as well as a Traffic-Duration between 1 and 300 seconds.

where Moxa_EtherDevice_Switch is the default Switch Name, 0001 is EDS’s serial number, and Switch_Location is the default Server Location.
