Configuring Port Threshold Alarms

You can configure the switch to generate alarms for selected events. Configuring an alarm involves choosing an event type, rising and falling triggers, a sample window, and finally enabling or disabling the alarm. To configure port threshold alarms, do the following:

1.In the faceplate display, open the Switch menu and select Port Threshold Alarm Configuration. The Port Threshold Alarm Configuration dialog shown in Figure 4-7prompts you to enable or disable all alarms, select an event, set triggers, set a sample window and enable or disable an individual alarm.

2.Check the Enable All Port Threshold Alarms check box to enable monitoring for all the individual alarm types that are enabled. The Enable All Port Threshold Alarms check box is the master control for the individual alarms. For example, the switch will monitor CRC errors only if both the CRC Error Monitoring box and the Enable All Port Threshold Alarms check box are checked.

3.Select an event type from the Port Threshold Alarm pull-down menu. Choose from the following options:

„CRC error monitoring

„Decode error monitoring

„ISL monitoring

„Login monitoring

„Logout monitoring

„Loss of signal monitoring

4.Check the Enable box to make the alarm eligible for use.
