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
Select this option to enable the optional Open Trunking 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
” Configuring a feature key” on page 104 and ” Open Trunking ” on page 158 for more
information.
Export configuration report
Select 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
Select 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.
Enable Telnet
Select this option to enable telnet access to 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 telnet access. When this
option is disabled, users at remote workstations cannot access the switch through telnet to use the
Command Line Interface (CLI).
Enable Alternate Control Prohibited (ACP)
Select this option to display Alternate Control Prohibited (ACP) in the Configure menu by selecting
the check box to set the ACP on or off. When the ACP is checked, alternate control prohibited is on
and alternate managers cannot change FICON Switch connectivity parameters. Alternate Control
Prohibited checkbox is only visible for switches that support ACP.
Logs menu
The Element Manager provides logs that show a record of various events that have occurred on the
switch. Select the Logs menu to display the following options.
For detailed information on using these dialog boxes, see ”
