Configuring port traffic thresholds

You can configure upper and lower traffic thresholds for a port as a percentage of the overall available channel
capacity. If the amount of data on the channel reaches either of these thresholds, an SNMP traffic trap is sent to
SNMP clients configured to receive these type of traps. See [Configuring SNMP clients]. A clear trap will also be
sent when traffic returns to normal levels [how many % above/below thresholds].
By default, traffic thresholds are set to 75% and 50%. In most cases, these settings will provide adequate
forewarning of ports being overloaded or under utilized, conditions which may indicate network or port issues
requiring administrator attention.
