Threshold Alerts
Click this option to configure threshold alerts for ports. A threshold alert notifies
users when the transmit (Tx) or receive (Rx) throughput reaches specified values
for specific switch ports or port types (E_Ports F_Ports, or FL_Ports).
Using this option, you can configure:
■
A name for the alert.
■
A threshold type for the alert (Rx, Tx, or both).
■
Active or inactive state of the alert.
■
Threshold criteria. This includes configuring the threshold as the percent of
port traffic capacity utilized (% utilization). You must also configure the time
interval during which the throughput is measured, and the maximum
cumulative time that the throughput percentage threshold can be exceeded
during this time interval before an alert is generated.
Open Trunking
Click this option to enable the optional OpenTrunking feature. This feature
monitors the average data rates of all traffic flows on ISLs (from a receive port to
a target domain). It also periodically adjusts routing tables to reroute data flows
from congested links to lightly loaded links and optimize bandwidth use. The
feature can be installed through the Configure Feature Key dialog box. See
“
” on page 187 for
more information.
Export Configuration Report
Click this option to display the Export Configuration Report dialog box, which
enables you to specify a file name in which to save an American Standard Code
for Information Interchange (ASCII) text file containing all current user-definable
configuration options in a printable format. Note that this file cannot be read back
into the Element Manager in order to set configuration parameters.
Enable Web Server
Click this option to enable the Embedded Web Server (EWS) on the switch. This
puts a check mark in the box next to the menu option. Click the option again to
clear the check mark and disable the EWS interface. When this option is disabled,
users at remote workstations cannot access the EWS interface.
