health threshold
Configures thresholds for input traffic (RX), output/input traffic (TX/RX), memory usage, CPU usage, and
chassis temperature.
Input traffic, output/input traffic, memory usage, and CPU usage thresholds specify the maximum percent-
age for each resource that may be consumed before a trap is sent to the user. The temperature threshold
specifies the maximum operating temperature, in Celsius, allowed within the chassis before a trap is sent.
health threshold {rx percent | txrx percent | memory percent | cpu percent | temperature degrees}
Syntax Definitions
rx Specifies the maximum input (RX) traffic threshold.
txrx Specifies the maximum output/input (TX/RX) traffic threshold.
memory Specifies the maximum RAM memory usage threshold.
cpu Specifies the maximum CPU usage threshold.
percent The new threshold value, in percent, for the corresponding resource—
i.e., rx, txrx, memory, cpu—(0–100).
temperature Specifies the temperature threshold for the chassis.
degrees The new threshold value, in Celsius, for the chassis temperature
threshold (0–100).

OmniSwitch 6250
Usage Guidelines
• When a resource falls back below the configured threshold, an additional trap is sent to the user. This
indicates that the resource is no longer operating beyond its configured threshold limit.
• Changing a threshold value sets the value for all levels of the switch (i.e., switch, module, and port).
You cannot set different threshold values for each level.
• For detailed information on each threshold type, refer to page 36-6, or refer to the “Diagnosing Switch
Problems” chapter in the OmniSwitch 6250 Network Configuration Guide.
• To view the current health threshold values, use the show health threshold command. Do not use the
show temperature command as it does not display health threshold statistics. These two show
commands are unrelated.
