Configure threshold alerts
A threshold alert notifies users when the transmit (Tx) or receive (Rx) throughput reaches specified
values for specific switch ports or port types, (E_Ports or F_Ports).
You are notified of a threshold alert in four ways:
•
A yellow triangle that is displayed on the port in the Port Card View.
•
A yellow triangle that is displayed on the port in the Hardware View.
•
A yellow triangle that is displayed in the Alert column of the Port List View.
•
A yellow triangle that is displayed by the Threshold Alerts field in the Port Properties dialog box.
•
Detailed threshold alert data recorded in the Threshold Alert Log.
Use the Threshold Alerts option on the Configure menu to configure the following:
•
Name for the alert.
•
Type of threshold for the alert (Rx, Tx, or either).
•
Active or inactive state of the alert.
