parameter is set to 3, the status of the switch will change if 3 ports fail. Only one policy parameter needs
to pass the MARGINAL or DOWN threshold to change the overall status of the switch.
For more information about setting policy parameters, refer to the Fabric Watch Administrator's Guide.

How to set the switch status policy threshold values

1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the switchStatusPolicySet command at the command line.
The current switch status policy parameter values are displayed. You are prompted to enter values for
each DOWN and MARGINAL threshold parameter:
NOTE: By setting the DOWN and MARGINAL value for a parameter to 0,0 that parameter is no longer
used in setting the overall status for the switch.
3. Verify the threshold settings you have configured for each parameter.
Enter the switchStatusPolicyShow command to view your current switch status policy
