Using the Instrumentation Monitor

Configuring Instrumentation Monitor

The following commands and parameters are used to configure the opera­ tional thresholds that are monitored on the switch. By default, the instrumen­ tation monitor is disabled.

Syntax: [no] instrumentation monitor [parameterNameall] [<lowmedhighlimitValue>]

[log] : Enables/disables instrumentation monitoring log so that event log messages are generated every time there is an event which exceeds a configured threshold.

(Default threshold setting when instrumentation monitoring is enabled: enabled)

[all] : Enables/disables all counter types on the switch but does not enable/disable instrumentation monitor logging.

(Default threshold setting when enabled: see parameter listings below)

[arp-requests] :The number of arp requests that are processed each minute.

(Default threshold setting when enabled: 1000 (med))

[ip-address-count]:The number of destination IP addresses learned in the IP forwarding table.

(Default threshold setting when enabled: 1000 (med))

[learn-discards]:The number of MAC address learn events per minute discarded to help free CPU resources when busy.

(Default threshold setting when enabled: 100 (med))

[login-failures]:The count of failed CLI login attempts or SNMP management authen­ tication failures per hour.

(Default threshold setting when enabled: 10 (med))

[mac-address-count] :The number of MAC addresses learned in the forwarding table. You must enter a specific value in order to enable this feature.

(Default threshold setting when enabled: 1000 (med))

[mac-moves] :The average number of MAC address moves per minute from one port to another.

(Default threshold setting when enabled: 100 (med))

[pkts-to-closed-ports] :The count of packets per minute sent to closed TCP/UDP ports.

(Default threshold setting when enabled: 10 (med))

[port-auth-failures] :The count of times per minute that a client has been unsuccessful logging into the network.

(Default threshold setting when enabled: 10 (med))

[system-resource-usage]:The percentage of system resources in use.

(Default threshold setting when enabled: 50 (med)))

[system-delay] :The response time, in seconds, of the CPU to new network events such as BPDU packets or packets for other network protocols.

(Default threshold setting when enabled: 3 seconds (med))

[trap] : Enables or disables SNMP trap generation.

(Default setting when instrumentation monitoring is enabled: disabled)
