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:

When you are ready to enable the disabled port thresholds, you can first view all previously disabled ports

using the following command:

change changed alarm

Changes the notification

method for changed event

occurrences for this method,

but only affects the custom

column.

The required notification methods

change above alarm

Changes the notification

method for above event

occurrences for this method,

but only affects the custom

column.

The required notification methods

change below alarm

Changes the notification

method for below event

occurrences for this method,

but only affects the custom

column.

The required notification methods

change inBetween alarm

Changes the notification

method for inBetween event

occurrences for this method,

but only affects the custom

column.

The required notification methods

apply threshold alarm

changes

Confirms the changes made to

the event setting information.

This must be done to retain the

changes made.

None
