Threshold Values
You can specify threshold values that trigger the output of certain event log messages,
SNMP traps, or a BSC failover.
For those values expressed as a percent, the BSC generates an event log message,
SNMP trap, or BSC shutdown/failover if the specified percentage is met or exceeded.
For boolean threshold values (such as Link Down), select Yes to generate an event log
message or SNMP trap if this event occurs or No to disable the threshold:
Note: To enable use of SNMP traps to monitor the BSC, you must enable the SNMP agent
on the BSC as described in "SNMP Agent" on page 10-8 and configure SNMP trap
generation as described in this section.
To define BSC threshold values:

High Disk
% of disk usage in BSC.
Usage
Link Down
Either the managed or protected physical interface no longer functions (due to a cable cut
or other problem with the link).
Note: You can also configure this threshold to trigger a BSC failover.
Note: This does not apply to the managed side of the BSC-1200, which has an internal
switch and always maintains link.
Link Up
Either the managed or protected physical interface resumes normal operation.
