A port is not considered disabled if one of the port thresholds is still enabled.
To enable all the thresholds for a port, at the command prompt enter:
swd77:admin> fwconfigure --enable --port 9

Configuring notifications

You can be notified of an alarm condition through a notification. The tasks for configuring notifications
using Fabric Watch are:
• "Configuring alarm
• "Configuring SNMP
• "Configuring port log lock
• "Configuring port log lock
• "Configuring email

Configuring alarm notifications

When you use alarm notifications, error messages are sent to designated locations such as an error log,
SNMP trap view, or email. With an error log, you can log in to a particular switch to view the error
messages that have been captured for that particular switch. You can parse the log file to make error
message searches quicker and easier.
To ensure that notifications appear in the error log, use the following command:
swd77:admin> fwAlarmsFilterSet 1
The option 1 turns on the alarm notification.
If you decide not to have notifications sent, use the following command:
swd77:admin> fwAlarmsFilterSet 0
The option 0 turns the alarm notification off.
All alarms are suppressed when alarm notifications are turned off, except for the Environment class and
Resource class.
To verify or view your current alarm notifications, use the fwAlarmsFilterShow command.
swd77:admin> fwalarmsfiltershow
FW: Alarms are enabled

Configuring SNMP notifications

In environments in which you have a high number of messages (for example, hundreds per day) coming
from a variety of switches, you might want to receive them in a single location and view them using a
graphical user interface (GUI). In this type of scenario, SNMP notifications might be the most efficient
notification method. You can avoid having to log on to each switch individually as you would have to do
for error log notifications.
SNMP notifications are configured using snmpMibCapSet, and within Fabric Watch, using alarms.
