Security monitoring
Security monitoring allows you to set security threshold and alert options, including login-violation or
telnet-violation alerts.
Viewing security defaults
To display the default values of security threshold and alert options, enter the show defaults security
area command with the login-violation or telnet-violation options.
switch# show defaults security area login-violation
Configuring security monitoring
1. Issue the configure terminal command to enter global configuration mode.
2. Enter RBridge ID configuration mode, as in the following example.
switch(config)# rbridge-id 154
3. Enter the threshold-monitor security command to configure custom login-violation monitoring, as
in the following example.
switch(config-rbridge-id-154)# threshold-monitor security
policy mypolicy area login-violation alert above highthresh-action
raslog below highthresh-action email lowthresh-action none
4. Apply the policy.
switch(config-rbridge-id-154)# threshold-monitor security apply mypolicy
Configuring interface monitoring
The following sections discuss how to view interface threshold defaults and configure interface
monitoring.
Viewing interface threshold defaults

2. Enter RBridge ID configuration mode (in this case, for RBridge ID 154).
switch(config)# rbridge-id 154
3. Enter the threshold-monitor interface command to configure custom interface monitoring, as in
the following example.
switch(config-rbridge-id-154)# threshold-monitor interface policy mypolicy type
ethernet area missingterminationcharacter alert above lowthresh-action email
