You can only define policies for E and F/FL ports.
You can only define policies for the Tx and Rx % Utilization measures. You cannot add the same
measure more than once. If you try to add another threshold with the same measure, the new
values overwrite the older threshold values in the Selected Thresholds table.
When the counter value exceeds high boundary, an event is raised.
(Fabric OS only) Enter a percentage for the low boundary in the Low Boundary field.
When the counter value goes below the low boundary an event is raised.
Counters may fluctuate around the upper or lower boundary of a range threshold, and as a
result cause numerous events in a short period of time. To reduce the number of events,
configure a buffer (a range of values just below the upper boundary and just above the lower
boundary) in which a counter does not register an event if it returns to a "normal" value. An
event only registers if the counter returns to a "normal" value beyond the buffer.
If an error is detected, a message displays informing you to enter a valid value. Click OK to
close this message. Fix any errors and repeat step 9.
The threshold policy displays in the Available Threshold Policies table with an added icon (
