Portthconfig - Brocade Communications Systems 8 Command Reference Manual

portThConfig

Configures Fabric Watch event thresholds per port type.
Synopsis porthconfig --set port_type -area area [-timebase time_base]
portthconfig --apply port_type -area area
portthconfig --cancel port_type -area area
portthconfig --show [port_type] [-area area]
portthconfig --help
Description Use this command to configure thresholds for Fabric Watch event monitoring for all ports of a
specified type and to display the configuration and current port status in real time. In addition to
the areas traditionally monitored by Fabric Watch, this command supports monitoring Class 3
discard frames on all ports of a specified type. If frame discard errors or any other configured areas
exceed the currently effective threshold settings, the Fabric Watch daemon can take one or more of
the following actions:
•
•
•
•
•
Class 3 frames may be discarded on a port because of timeout, destination unreachable, or other
reasons. This command only monitors Class 3 frames that are discarded because of timeout, and
is applicable only to Brocade 8 G platforms.
The portThConfig follows a transaction model. When you configure thresholds and actions with the
--set option, the changes are saved persistently to nonvolatile storage, but the changes do not
become effective until you execute portThconfig --apply. The --apply option allows you to toggle
between default settings and your own saved custom configuration and to apply actions and
thresholds separately. You may choose to use default thresholds together with a customized subset
of available actions, or you may modify some of the thresholds and use the default actions. Use the
-nosave option to save the configuration nonpersistently, and use --cancel to remove a
nonpersistent configuration.
This command configures thresholds per port type and the configuration is applied to all ports of
the specified type. Configurable ports include E_Ports, optical F_Ports, copper F_Ports, physical
ports, and Virtual E_Ports (VE_Ports).
Note The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may
be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command
Availability" for details.
