fwConfigure 2 fwConfigure Displays and modifies the Fabric Watch configuration. Synopsis fwconfigure fwconfigure --enable --port portNumber fwconfigure --disable --port portNumber Description Use this command to display and modify threshold information for the Fabric Watch configuration. Switch elements monitored by Fabric Watch are divided into classes, which are further divided into areas. Each area can include multiple thresholds. In addition, the command can be used to disable or enable all thresholds associated with a given port. When executed without operands, this command runs interactively. On switches running Fabric OS v6.1.0 or later, use this command to enable Port Fencing. This feature allows the OS to disable a port that is operating outside the bounds of normal operation. When an erratically behaving port is fenced, the port is placed into the disabled state and is kept offline, thereby preventing the port to transmit or receive frames. Refer to the Fabric Watch Administrator's Guide for information on how to enable Port Fencing. The Fabric Watch classes and areas are provided in Table 13. The following restrictions apply: 1. The Port class does not support VE _Ports and VEX_Ports, except for State Changes. 2. The E_Port class has the same port limitations as the port class except under the following condition: On a Brocade 48000 with a FR4-18i blade, or on the Brocade 7500, the E_Port class monitors the following additional ports and creates monitors for each of the logical ports: - FCR (includes EX_Ports) - FCIP (includes VE_Ports, VEX_Ports) 3. SFP Class: SFPs connected to GbE ports are not monitored. For more Information, refer to the Fabric Watch Administrator's Guide.
