set config threshold
Description Sets the port alarm threshold parameters by which the switch monitors port performance and
generates alarms. The changes you make with this command are not retained when you reset or
power-cycle the switch unless you save them using the config save command.
Authority Admin session and a Config Edit session
Syntax
set config threshold
Initiates a configuration session by which to generate and log alarms for selected events. The system
displays each event, its triggers, and a sampling window one line at a time and prompts you for a
value. For each parameter, enter a new value or press Enter to accept the current value shown in
brackets. Table 37 describes the port alarm threshold parameters.
Table 37 Port alarm threshold parameters
Parameter Description
ThresholdMonitoringEnabled Master enable/disable parameter for all events. Enables
(True) or disables (False) the generation of all
enabled event alarms. The default is False.
CRCErrorsMonitoringEnabled
DecodeErrorsMonitoringEnabled
ISLMonitoringEnabled
LoginMonitoringEnabled
LogoutMonitoringEnabled
LOSMonitoringEnabled
The event type enable/disable parameter. Enables
(True) or disables (False) the generation of alarms for
each of the following events:
• CRC errors
• Decode errors
• ISL connection count
• Device login errors
• Device logout errors
• Loss-of-signal errors
RisingTrigger The event count above which a rising trigger alarm is
logged. The switch will not generate another rising
trigger alarm for that event until the count descends
below the falling trigger and again exceeds the rising
trigger.
FallingTrigger The event count below which a falling trigger alarm is
logged. The switch will not generate another falling
trigger alarm for that event until the count exceeds the
rising trigger and descends again below the falling
trigger.
SampleWindow The time in seconds in which to count events
Notes The switch will down a port if an alarm condition is not cleared within three consecutive sampling
windows (by default, 30 seconds). Reset the port to bring it back online. An alarm is cleared when
the threshold monitoring detects that the error rate has fallen below the falling trigger.
