- Show Affected Devices. Lists the hosts and targets that might be affected by the selected
bottlenecked port.
- Inherit From Switch. Restores the switch bottleneck parameters to a port that has direct
assigned settings. Refer to
“Inheriting alert parameters from a switch” .
- Add Flow. Displays the Add Flow Definition dialog box to define flows for flow monitoring.
Applicable fields on the dialog box, such as source device and destination device IDs, will

Inheriting alert parameters from a switch
When you enable bottleneck detection on a switch, all eligible ports on that switch inherit the same
bottleneck parameters as the switch. You can then change the parameters for specific ports or
exclude specific ports from bottleneck detection.
Use the following procedure if you want to restore the switch bottleneck parameters to a port that
has direct assigned settings.
1. Select Monitor > Performance > Bottlenecks.
The Bottlenecks dialog box displays.
2. Select a port that has directly assigned bottleneck settings, which is indicated by a right arrow
in the Direct Assigned column.
3. Click Inherit From Switch.
4. Select the Alerts check box to enable alerts. Clear this check box to disable alerts.
The bottleneck parameters that are specified for the switch are applied to the port.
5. Click OK or Apply to save your changes.
Copying alert parameters from one switch or port
to another
1. Select Monitor > Performance > Bottlenecks.
The Bottlenecks dialog box displays.
2. Select the switch or port from which you want to copy the bottleneck parameters.
3. Click the left arrow.
The parameters display in the Bottleneck Detection pane.
4. Select one or more switches, ports, or fabrics to which you want to copy the bottleneck
parameters.
