NOTE
This threshold is only available for Fabric OS devices running 6.3 or later.

Use to block a port when a state change violation type meets the Fabric OS switch threshold. For 4
Gbps Router, Extension Switches and Blades only, when you apply this threshold on an E Port, the
threshold is also applied to the VE Ports (internally by Fabric OS). For default threshold values for
Fabric OS devices, refer to Chapter 7 of the Fabric Watch Administrator's Guide.

1. Select Monitor > Fabric Watch > Port Fencing.
