Configuring Port Threshold Alarms
You can configure the switch to generate alarms for selected events. Configuring
an alarm involves choosing an event type, rising and falling triggers, a sample
window, and finally enabling or disabling the alarm. To configure port threshold
alarms, do the following:
1.
In the faceplate display, open the Switch menu and select
Port Threshold
Alarm Configuration
.
The Port Threshold Alarm Configuration
dialog
shown in
Figure 4-7
prompts you to enable or disable all alarms, select an
event, set triggers, set a sample window and enable or disable an individual
alarm.

2.
Check the
Enable All Port Threshold Alarms
check box to enable
monitoring for all the individual alarm types that are enabled. The
Enable All
Port Threshold Alarms
check box is the master control for the individual
alarms. For example, the switch will monitor CRC errors only if both the
CRC Error Monitoring
box and the
Enable All Port Threshold Alarms
check box are checked.
3.
Select an event type from the Port Threshold Alarm pull-down menu.
Choose from the following options:
CRC error monitoring
Decode error monitoring
ISL monitoring
Login monitoring
Logout monitoring
Loss of signal monitoring
4.
Check the
Enable
box to make the alarm eligible for use.
