Monitoring and Maintaining REP

Setting Manual Preemption for VLAN Load Balancing

Before You Begin
If you do not enter the rep preempt delay seconds interface configuration command on the primary edge
port to configure a preemption time delay, the default is to manually trigger VLAN load balancing on
the segment. Be sure that all other segment configuration has been co mpleted before manually
preempting VLAN load balancing. When you enter the rep preempt segment segment-id command, a
confirmation message appears before the command is executed because preemp tion can cause network
disruption.

Configuring SNMP Traps for REP

You can configure the switch to send REP-specific traps to notify the SNMP server of link operational
status changes and port role changes.
Monitoring and Maintaining REP
Command Purpose
Step 1 rep preempt segment segment-id Manually triggers VLAN load balancing on the segment.
You will need to confirm the command before it is executed.
Step 2 show rep topology Displays REP topology information.
Command Purpose
Step 1 configure terminal Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2 snmp mib rep trap-rate value Enables the switch to send REP traps, and sets the number of
traps sent per second. The range is from 0 to 1000. The default
is 0 (no limit imposed; a trap is sent at every occurrence).
Step 3 end Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Command Purpose
show interface [interface-id] rep [detail] Displays REP configuration and status for an interface or for
all interfaces.
show rep topology [segment segment_id] [archive] [detail] Displays REP topology information for a segment or for all
segments, including the primary and secondary edge port s in
the segment.
