Viewing the switch status policy threshold values

The policy parameter determines the number of failed or inoperable units for each contributor that triggers
a status change in the switch.
Each parameter can be adjusted so that a specific threshold must be reached before that parameter
changes the overall status of a switch to MARGINAL or DOWN. For example, if the FaultyPorts DOWN
parameter is set to 3, the status of the switch will change if 3 ports fail. Only one policy parameter needs
to pass the MARGINAL or DOWN threshold to change the overall status of the switch.
For more information about setting policy parameters, see the Fabric Watch Administrator's Guide.
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.
2. Enter the switchStatusPolicyShow command.
Whenever there is a switch change, an error message is logged and an SNMP
connUnitStatusChange trap is sent.
The output is similar to the following:
switch:admin> switchstatuspolicyshow
