•
Thresholds table — List of configured thresholds based on the threshold type selected in
the Violation Type list.

Limit (Fabric OS) — The number of events allowed for the assigned threshold.
If the object has no fencing support or no fencing changes, this field displays two
hyphens separated by a space (- -). When the object is only partially managed by the
management application, this field displays as inactive (grayed-out).

Period (Fabric OS) — The time limit (in seconds or minutes) for the assigned threshold.
This field displays as inactive (grayed-out) when the object is only partially managed by
the management application.

Ports Affected — The total number of ports on all objects that could be affected by the
threshold setting. It does not show the current number of ports affected. This value
updates in real time as you add and subtract each threshold from each object.
•
Find button — Select a threshold in the thresholds table and click the find button (>) to
highlight each instance of the selected threshold in the Ports table.
•
Right arrow button — Select a threshold in the thresholds table and click the right arrow
button to add the selected threshold to the selected fabrics, switches, or switch ports
(refer to
“Assigning thresholds” on page 1007).
•
Left arrow button — Select a threshold in the Ports table and click the left arrow button to
remove the selected threshold from the associated fabrics, switches, or switch ports (refer
to
“Removing thresholds from individual objects” on page 1014).
•
Add button — Click to add an ISL protocol threshold (refer to “Adding thresholds” on
page 999).
•
Edit button — Click to edit an ISL protocol threshold (refer to “Editing thresholds” on
page 1009).
•
Delete button — Click to delete an ISL protocol threshold (refer to “Removing thresholds
from the thresholds table” on page 1015).
•
Ports table — All managed fabric, director, switch, port type, and port objects (label and
icon) in its hierarchical relationship to the other objects in the tree.

Ports — Displays all discovered fabrics, devices, and ports as both text and icons.

Port Type — The operational port type of the port. This field displays as inactive
(grayed-out) when either the object’s firmware does not support Port Fencing or the
object is only partially managed by the management application.

Directly Assigned — A right arrow icon to indicate that the threshold is directly assigned
to this object and is inherited by all objects below it in the tree. This field displays as
inactive (grayed-out) when either the object’s firmware does not support Port Fencing
or the object is only partially managed by the management application.

Changed indicator — The change icons in real time when you change information in
the dialog box. One change icon indicates a new threshold was applied (either directly
or inherited) to the port, and another indicates that a threshold was removed from this
object (during this session) and no threshold applies to the port.

Threshold_type Threshold — The name of the ISL threshold policy.

Limit (Fabric OS) — The number of events allowed for the assigned threshold.
If the object has no fencing support or no fencing changes, this field displays two
hyphens separated by a space (- -). When the object is only partially managed by the
management application, this field displays as inactive (grayed-out).
