Configuring Fabric Watch Chapter 3 This chapter describes the procedures used to configure Fabric Watch and contains the following sections: • "Configuring Fabric Watch Thresholds," next • "Configuring Notifications" on page 3-16 • "Configuring Switch Status Policy" on page 3-20 • "Configuring FRUs" on page 3-22 • "Configuring Fabric Watch Using Web Tools" on page 3-24 • "Configuring Fabric Watch Using SNMP" on page 3-24 This chapter does not explain Fabric Watch terminology and concepts; see Chapter 1, "Fabric Watch Concepts" for these. Configuring Fabric Watch Thresholds After it is activated, Fabric Watch automatically uses a set of default factory settings that might vary from system to system, depending on the software version and the switch hardware. You can create custom threshold configurations to suit your unique environment. Both the factory default and user-customized Fabric Watch settings are individually maintained. You cannot change the default values. During Fabric Watch configuration, you can select whether Fabric Watch should use the default or custom settings for monitoring. Configuring Fabric Watch thresholds enables you to define your own unique event conditions (such as threshold traits, alarms, and e-mail configuration). For example, it is unlikely that you would need to change the default values for Environment class because the hardware has been tested so extensively. However, if you anticipate a need for additional notifications, or you need to better gauge performance because of noticeable congestion on certain ports, you might want to configure the values for some thresholds.

Configuring Fabric Watch Thresholds
After it is activated, Fabric Watch automatically uses a set of default factory settings that might vary
from system to system, depending on the software version and the switch hardware. You can create
custom threshold configurations to suit your unique environment.
Both the factory default and user-customized Fabric Watch settings are individually maintained. You
cannot change the default values. During Fabric Watch configuration, you can select whether Fabric
Watch should use the default or custom settings for monitoring.
Configuring Fabric Watch thresholds enables you to define your own unique event conditions (such as
threshold traits, alarms, and e-mail configuration). For example, it is unlikely that you would need to
change the default values for Environment class because the hardware has been tested so extensively.
However, if you anticipate a need for additional notifications, or you need to better gauge performance
because of noticeable congestion on certain ports, you might want to configure the values for some
thresholds.
The steps to configure Fabric Watch Thresholds are:
“Step 1: Select the Class and Area to Configure”
on page 3-2
“Step 2: Configure Thresholds”
on page 3-4
“Step 3: Configure Alarms”
on page 3-10
“Step 4: Disable and Enable Thresholds by Port (Optional)”
on page 3-15
