Q

6.Enter a value for the rising threshold. A rising threshold alarm is generated when the event count exceeds the rising threshold. The switch will not generate another rising threshold alarm for that event until the count descends below the falling threshold and rises again above the rising threshold. Consider the example in Figure 4-7.

Note: The switch will down a port if a rising threshold alarm is not cleared after three consecutive sample intervals.
