Viewing the switch status policy threshold values
For switches running Fabric Watch, you can view the switch status policy threshold values using the
switchStatusPolicyShow command
The policy parameter determines the number of failed or inoperable units for each contributor that
triggers a status change in the switch. Each parameter can be adjusted so that a specific threshold
must be reached before that parameter changes the overall status of a switch to MARGINAL or
DOWN. For example, if the FaultyPorts DOWN parameter is set to 3, the status of the switch will
change if three ports fail. Only one policy parameter needs to pass the MARGINAL or DOWN
threshold to change the overall status of the switch.
For more information about setting policy parameters, refer to the Fabric Watch Administrator's Guide.
If the switch is running Fabric Watch, you can use the following procedure to view the switch status
policy threshold values. If the switch is running MAPS, refer to the Monitoring and Alerting Policy Suite
Administrator’s Guide.
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter the switchStatusPolicyShow command.
Whenever there is a switch change, an error message is logged and an SNMP
connUnitStatusChange trap is sent.
The output is similar to the following:
ecp:admin> switchstatuspolicyshow
switch:admin> switchstatuspolicyshow
The current overall switch status policy parameters:

Setting the switch status policy threshold values
For switches running Fabric Watch, you can set the switch status policy threshold values using the
switchStatusPolicySet command
If the switch is running Fabric Watch, you can use the following procedure to set the switch status
policy threshold values. If the switch is running MAPS, refer to the Monitoring and Alerting Policy Suite
