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.

Threshold criteria:
— Percent traffic capacity utilized—The percent of the port’s throughput
capacity achieved by the measured throughput. This setting constitutes
the threshold value. For example, a value of 50 means that the port’s
threshold is reached when throughput is 50% of capacity.
— Time interval during which throughput is measured and alert notification
can occur.
— The maximum cumulative time that the throughput percentage threshold
can be exceeded during the set time interval before an alert is generated.
■
Ports for which you are configuring threshold alerts.
You can configure up to 16 alerts, and any number of alerts can be active at one
