Configuring notifications

NOTE
Not all areas allow for the customization of all fields. If you attempt an illegal modification, Fabric
Watch displays an error message. Ensure that all changes to the threshold and event setting areas
of the screen are confirmed before leaving advanced configuration, or the changes are lost.
STEP 4: DISABLE AND ENABLE THRESHOLDS BY PORT (OPTIONAL)
On certain occasions, you might want to disable all port thresholds at once. For example, during an
event such as an upgrade of a device or server, you might elect not to receive error messages for
particular ports. When the upgrade is complete, you can show and enable disabled port thresholds.
To disable all the thresholds for a port, at the command prompt enter:
swd77:admin>
fwConfigure --disable --port 9
When you are ready to enable the disabled port thresholds, you can first view all previously
disabled ports using the following command:
swd77:admin>
fwshow --disable --port

disabled
A port is not considered disabled if one of the port thresholds is still enabled.
To enable all the thresholds for a port, at the command prompt enter:
swd77:admin>
fwconfigure --enable --port 9
