permitted during a given time period on the selected object. For default threshold values for Fabric
OS devices, refer to Chapter 7 of the Fabric Watch Administrator's Guide.

The Port Fencing dialog box contains the following field and components:
•
Violation Type list — The name of the ISL, Link, or Security threshold currently active on this
port. If the object does not support Port Fencing, this field displays "# No Fencing Support
#". This field displays as inactive (grayed-out) when the object is only partially managed by
the management application.
(ISL Threshold only) If the port type is E_port, the ISL Threshold name displays in a bold
font to indicate when the threshold is currently active on the port type.
