portThConfig 2 portThConfig Synopsis Description Note Configures Fabric Watch event thresholds per port type. porthconfig --set port_type -area area [-timebase time_base] [-highthreshold -value value -trigger above | below -action actions] [-lowthreshold -value value -trigger above | below -action actions] [-buffer value][-nosave] portthconfig --apply port_type -area area [-thresh_level def | cust] [-alarm_level def| cust] portthconfig --cancel port_type -area area [-thresh_level def | cust] [-alarm_level def| cust] portthconfig --show [port_type] [-area area] [ [-current_status] | [[-thresh_level cust | def] | [-action_level cust | def]] portthconfig --help Use this command to configure thresholds for Fabric Watch event monitoring for all ports of a specified type and to display the configuration and current port status in real time. In addition to the areas traditionally monitored by Fabric Watch, this command supports monitoring Class 3 discard frames on all ports of a specified type. If frame discard errors or any other configured areas exceed the currently effective threshold settings, the Fabric Watch daemon can take one or more of the following actions: • Send an SNMP message. • Log a RASlog message. • Send an E-mail alert. • Log a port log message. • Fence the port if port fencing is enabled (not applicable to E_Ports). Refer to portFencing help for more information. Class 3 frames may be discarded on a port because of timeout, destination unreachable, or other reasons. This command only monitors Class 3 frames that are discarded because of timeout, and is applicable only to Brocade 8 G platforms. The portThConfig follows a transaction model. When you configure thresholds and actions with the --set option, the changes are saved persistently to nonvolatile storage, but the changes do not become effective until you execute portThconfig --apply. The --apply option allows you to toggle between default settings and your own saved custom configuration and to apply actions and thresholds separately. You may choose to use default thresholds together with a customized subset of available actions, or you may modify some of the thresholds and use the default actions. Use the -nosave option to save the configuration nonpersistently, and use --cancel to remove a nonpersistent configuration. This command configures thresholds per port type and the configuration is applied to all ports of the specified type. Configurable ports include E_Ports, optical F_Ports, copper F_Ports, physical ports, and Virtual E_Ports (VE_Ports). The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for details. Fabric OS Command Reference 803 53-1001764-02
