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).
