fwConfigure

fwConfigure
Displays and modifies the Fabric Watch configuration.
Synopsis fwconfigure
fwconfigure --enable --port port
fwconfigure --disable --port port
Description This command is being deprecated in Fabric OS v6.4.0; it will be removed in a subsequent release.
Functional equivalents for configuring Fabric Watch thresholds are provided by the portThConfig,
thConfig, and sysMonitor commands.
Use this command to display and modify threshold information for the Fabric Watch configuration.
Switch elements monitored by Fabric Watch are divided into classes, which are further divided into
areas. Each area can include multiple thresholds. In addition, the command can be used to disable
or enable all thresholds associated with a given port. When executed without operands, this
command runs interactively.
On switches running Fabric OS v6.1.0 or later, use this command to enable Port Fencing. This
feature allows the OS to disable a port that is operating outside the bounds of normal operation.
When an erratically behaving port is fenced, the port is placed into the disabled state and is kept
offline, thereby preventing the port to transmit or receive frames. Refer to the Fabric Watch
Administrator's Guide for information on how to enable Port Fencing.
The Fabric Watch classes and areas are provided in
1. The Port class does not support VE _Ports and VEX_Ports, except for State Changes.
