VE_Port class default settings
Table 19 provides default settings (per minute) for areas in the VE_Port class. The VE_Port type is
not supported in Access Gateway mode.
NOTE
Only a subset of areas, shown in Table 19 , can be configured for the VE_Port class. When setting
VE_Port thresholds for the Packet Loss area, the threshold value accepts up to two decimal points;
for example: -value 0.60, as shown in
“Packet loss monitoring enhancements on the VE_Port” .
Packet loss monitoring enhancements on the VE_Port
Fabric Watch provides monitoring for packet loss percentage for the VE_Port. Previously,
configuring the packet loss percentage for the VE_Port was allowed as a whole number; however,
packet loss is usually found at less than one percent. Now there is support for configuring packet
loss percentages in decimals.
To set the high threshold for packet loss for a VE port, enter the portThConfig command using the
following parameters:
switch:admin> portthconfig
--
set ve-port -area PKTLOSS -highthreshold -value 0.60
-trigger above -action snmp
Port type: E_Port, FOP_Port, or FCU_Port
E_Port, FOP_Port, and FCU_Port guidelines represent a more aggressive approach in most areas
than physical port guidelines. Refer to
“E_Port subclass setting guidelines” on page 61 and
“FOP_Port and FCU_Port subclass setting guidelines” on page 64 for configuration
recommendations.
