Configuring IE 3000 Switch Alarms
This example shows how to set the FCS bit error rate for a port to 10
-10
.
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface fastethernet1/1
Switch(config-if) # fcs-threshold 10
Setting the FCS Error Hysteresis Threshold
The hysteresis setting prevents the toggle of an alarm when the actual bit error-rate fluctuates near the
configured rate. Use the alarm facility fcs-hysteresis global configuration command to set the FCS
error hysteresis threshold.
Note The FCS hysteresis threshold is applied to all ports of an IE 3000 switch.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to set the FCS error hysteresis threshold for a
switch:
Use the no alarm facility fcs-hysteresis command to set the FCS error hysteresis threshold to its default
value.
Note The show running config command displays any FCS error hysteresis that is not the default value.
This example shows how to set the FCS error hysteresis at 5 percent.
Switch(config)# alarm facility fcs-hysteresis 5
Configuring Alarm Profiles
This section describes how to configure alarm profiles on your switch. It contains this configuration
information:
• Creating or Modifying an Alarm Profile, page 3-10
• Attaching an Alarm Profile to a Specific Port, page 3-11
Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
alarm facility fcs-hysteresis
percentage
Set the hysteresis percentage for the switch.
For percentage, the range is 1 to 10. The default value is 10 percent.
Step 3
end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 4
show running config Verify the configuration.
Step 5
copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
