Fabric Watch classes (Continued)
Description
Enables you to set additional thresholds specific to different types of ports.
The Port class is made up of the following sub-classes:
•
E_Port class—Represents ports connected to another switch.
Note: If you are using a Brocade 48000 or a Brocade DCX Backbone with an
FR4-18i blade, or the Brocade 7500, the E_Port class monitors the following
additional ports and creates monitors for each of the logical ports:
— FCR (includes EX_Ports)
— FCIP (includes VE_Ports and VEX_Ports)
— State changes (applicable for all ports)
— Utilization and packet loss (applicable to VE_Ports only)
•
FOP_Port class — Represents fabric or fabric loop ports that are made of
optical fiber.
•
FCU_Port class — Represents fabric or fabric loop ports that are made of
copper.
•
VE_Port — Represents a port that is similar to the E_Port but terminates at the
switch and does not propagate fabric services from one edge fabric to
another.
Configure the Port class using the portThConfig command.
Manages your system's memory or CPU usage.
Monitors flash memory. It calculates the amount of flash space consumed and
compares it to a defined threshold.
Configure the Resource class using the sysMonitor command.
Monitors all attempts to breach your SAN security, helping you fine-tune your
security measures.
Configure the Security class using the thConfig command.
Groups areas that monitor the physical aspects of SFPs. An SFP class alarm alerts
you to an SFP malfunction fault. SFP performance monitoring is not supported on
VE_Ports.
Note: SFPs connected to any GbE ports are not monitored.
Configure the SFP class using the thConfig command.
