Configuring Port Alarm Thresholds

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. You can configure port alarm thresholds for the following port events using the Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 or the command line interface:

„CRC errors

„Decode errors

„ISL connections

„Device logins

„Device logouts

„Loss-of-signal errors

To configure port threshold alarms using Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007, open the Switch menu in the faceplate display, and select Port Threshold Alarm Configuration. The Port Threshold Alarm Configuration dialog shown in prompts you to enable or disable all alarms, select an event, set triggers, set a sample window and enable or disable an individual alarm. Refer to the Switch Management User’s Guide for your switch for more information about port threshold alarms.

To configure port threshold alarms using the command line interface, use the Set Config Threshold command. Refer to the Installation Guide for your switch for more information about the command line interface and the Set Config command.
