To get the identifier, click the swFwThresholdTable and swFwThresholdEntry directory, and run a get operation on swFwName. A list of elements appears in which each element is preceded by an identifier. Remember the numeric portion of the identifier, which appears before the "==>" symbol. You can scroll through the list to find the numeric identifier for the element in which you are interested. Figure 11 shows a sample screen.

Obtain the specific identifier for the element that will be modified. To get the identifier, click the
swFwThresholdTable and swFwThresholdEntry directory, and run a get operation on
swFwName
. A list of elements appears in which each element is preceded by an identifier.
Remember the numeric portion of the identifier, which appears before the “==>” symbol. You
can scroll through the list to find the numeric identifier for the element in which you are
interested.
Figure 11
shows a sample screen.
For detailed descriptions of the SNMP fields in both Telnet and Web Tools, see the
Fabric OS
MIB Reference.
Using the configuration file interface
You can use a configuration file to upload and download the configuration file and make changes in
a text editor. Upload and download the configuration file through a Telnet session or with Web
Tools. Uploading and downloading a configuration file to multiple switches efficiently populates
your SAN with consistent Fabric Watch settings.
For details about configuration file usage, see
“Configuration files”
on page 56.
NOTE
A non-disruptive firmware download might fail if you attempt to download incorrect values. For
example, on a switch with only one power supply, you cannot download a “switch status power
supply value=4” taken from another switch.
When executing the
configDownload
command, Fabric Watch mail parameters cannot be modified
without disabling the switch.
