59266-01 B 5-15

Figure 5-8. Port Threshold Alarm Configuration Dialog Box
3. Select the Enable All Port Threshold Alarms option to enable monitoring
for all the individual alarm types that are enabled. The Enable All Port
Threshold Alarms option is the master control for the individual alarms. For
example, the switch monitors CRC errors only if both the CRC Error Enable
and Enable All Port Threshold Alarms options are selected.
4. Select an event type from the Port Threshold Alarm drop-down list. Choose
from the following options:
 CRC error monitoring
 Decode errors monitoring
 ISL monitoring
 Login monitoring
 Logout monitoring
 Loss of signal monitoring
5. Select the Enable option to make the alarm eligible for use.
6. Enter a value for the rising trigger. A rising trigger alarm is generated when
the event count per interval exceeds the rising trigger. The switch does not
generate another rising trigger alarm for that event until the count descends
below the falling trigger and rises again above the rising trigger. Consider
the example in Figure 5-9.
7. Enter a value for the falling trigger. A falling trigger alarm is generated when
the event count per interval descends below the falling trigger.
