Important: Before using these commands, card framing should be configured for either SDH or SONET with the framing command described in the Card Configuration Mode chapter.
Important: The commands or keywords/variables that are available are dependent on platform type, product version, and installed license(s).
• high-activity : High port activity threshold settings
• monitoring : Threshold monitoring configuration settings
• rx-utilization : Receive port utilization threshold settings
• tx-utilization : Transmit port utilization threshold settingsdescription texttext must be a string of 1 to 79 alphanumeric characters with no spaces or a string within double quotes that includes printable characters. The description is case-sensitive.description samplePortDescriptiveTextdescription “This is a sample description”The port must be enabled (no shutdown) to enable recovery of timing source via the line. As well, the card’s slot number must be entered in the recover line# command of the BITS port configuration mode.preferred slot slot#vpi vpi#VPI identifies a unique path to a destination point in the ATM portion of the network. The VPI and the VCI combine to create the PVC between the MS and the destination point. vpi# must be an integer, 0 to 255.vci vci#VCI identifies a unique virtual circuit within the associated VPI. vci# must be an integer, 0 to 65535.Terminates all processes supporting the port or blocks the shutting down of the port. Conversely, this command with the no keyword enables the port.This command with the no keyword is required to bring a port into service.high_thresh_% can be configured to any integer value between 0 and 100.clear low_threshlow_thresh_% can be configured to any integer value between 0 and 100.Important: This value is ignored for the Alert model. In addition, if this value is not configured for the Alarm model, the system assumes it is identical to the high threshold.
• Enter condition: Actual percent utilization of a port ³ High Threshold
• Clear condition: Actual percent utilization of a port < Low ThresholdRefer to the threshold poll command in the Global Configuration Mode Commands chapter of this reference to configure the polling interval and the threshold monitoring command in this chapter to enable thresholding for this value.
• SNMP traps: SNMP traps have been created that indicate the condition (high threshold crossing and/or clear) of each of the monitored values. Complete descriptions and other information pertaining to these traps is located in the starentMIB(8164).starentTraps(2) section of the SNMP MIB Reference.
• Logs: The system provides a facility called threshold for which active and event logs can be generated. As with other system facilities, logs are generated Log messages pertaining to the condition of a monitored value are generated with a severity level of WARNING.
• Alarm System: High threshold alarms generated within the specified polling interval are considered “outstanding” until a the condition no longer exists and/or a condition clear alarm is generated.
This command enables thresholding for port-level values. Refer to the sections covering threshold high-activity, threshold rx-utilization, and threshold tx-utilization commands in this chapter for information on configuring these values. In addition, refer to the threshold poll command in the Global Configuration Mode Commands chapter of this reference for information on configuring the polling interval over which these values are monitored.clear low_threshImportant: This value is ignored for the Alert model. In addition, if this value is not configured for the Alarm model, the system assumes it is identical to the high threshold.
Important: Ports configured for half-duplex do not differentiate between data received and data transmitted. Therefore, to avoid redundant alarms, it is recommended that only the receive or transmit utilization threshold be configured.
• Enter condition: Actual percent utilization of a port for received data ³ High Threshold
• Clear condition: Actual percent utilization of a port for received data < Low ThresholdRefer to the threshold poll command in the Global Configuration Mode Commands chapter of this reference to configure the polling interval and the threshold monitoring command in this chapter to enable thresholding for this value.clear low_threshImportant: This value is ignored for the Alert model. In addition, if this value is not configured for the Alarm model, the system assumes it is identical to the high threshold.
Important: Ports configured for half-duplex do not differentiate between data received and data transmitted. Therefore, to avoid redundant alarms, it is recommended that only the receive or transmit utilization threshold be configured.
