preferred slot

Identifies which card in a chassis should assume revertive (redundancy auto-recovery) functionality should the slot/port being configured go down. This command must be issued on a per port basis, allowing you to configure specific ports to be used on individual LCs or SPIO cards. For example, ports 1 through 4 could be configured as “preferred” on the LC in slot 17 while ports 5 through 8 are “preferred” on the LC in slot 33. In this scenario, both LCs would be in an Active operational state while still providing LC and port redundancy for the other.
Platform:

ASR 5000
Product:

Privilege:

Security Administrator, Administrator
Syntax

    preferred slot slot#no preferred slot

slot#

Identifies the physical slot in the chassis where the line card is installed.
no

Disables revertive, or auto-recovery, operation for the port.
Usage:

This command enables or disables revertive port redundancy. So after a port failover, when the original port is restored to service (i.e. link up) the system will return service to that port automatically.

Disabled, which is the default setting, causes non-revertive operation; requiring an administrative user to manually issue a port switch to command to return service to the original port.

threshold high-activity

Configures the port’s high and low activity thresholds.
Platform:

ASR 5000
Product:

SGSN
Privilege:

Security Administrator, Administrator
Syntax

    threshold high-activity high_thresh [ clear low_thresh ]

high_thresh

Default: 50

Sets the threshold for the highest percentage of port activity that must be met or exceeded, within the polling interval, to generate an alert or alarm.

high_thresh_% can be configured to any integer value between 0 and 100.
clear low_thresh

Default: 50

Sets the threshold for the lowest percentage level of port activity that must be met to generate and send a clear alarm. If port activity does not drop to or below this threshold then the alarm is maintained.

low_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.
Usage:

High port activity thresholds generate alerts or alarms based on the utilization percentage of each configured port during the specified polling interval. This threshold is configured on a per-port basis.
Alerts or alarms are triggered for high port activity based on the following rules:

- Enter condition: Actual percent utilization of a port > High Threshold
- Clear condition: Actual percent utilization of a port < Low Threshold

If a trigger condition occurs within the polling interval, the alert or alarm will not be generated until the end of the polling interval.

Refer 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.
Example:
The following command configures a high port utilization threshold percent of 70 and a low threshold of 50 for an system using the Alarm thresholding model:

    threshold high-activity 70 clear 50

threshold monitoring

Enables thresholding for port-level values.
Platform:

ASR 5000
Product:

SGSN
Privilege:

Security Administrator, Administrator
Syntax

    [ no ] threshold monitoring

no

Disables threshold monitoring for port-level values. This is the default setting.
Usage:

Thresholding on the system is used to monitor the system for conditions that could potentially cause errors or outage. Typically, these conditions are temporary (i.e high-activity) and are quickly resolved. However, continuous or large numbers of these error conditions within a specific time interval may be indicative of larger, more severe issues. The purpose of thresholding is to help identify potentially severe conditions so that immediate action can be taken to minimize and/or avoid system downtime.
Thresholding reports conditions using one of the following mechanisms:

- 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.

The generation of specific traps can be enabled or disabled on the system allowing you to view only those traps that are most important to you.

- 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.

“Outstanding” alarms are reported to through the system’s alarm subsystem and are viewable through the system’s CLI.

The following table indicates the reporting mechanisms supported by each of the above models.
Table 1. Thresholding Reporting Mechanisms by Model

Model | SNMP Traps | Logs | Alarm System
--- | --- | --- | ---
Alert | X | X |
Alarm | X | X | X

This command enables thresholding for port-level values. Refer to the 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.

Syntax

    threshold rx-utilization high_thresh [ clear low_thresh ]

high_thresh

Default: 80

The high threshold receive port utilization percentage that must be met or exceeded within the polling interval to generate an alert or alarm.

The percentage can be configured to any integer value between 0 and 100.
clearlow_thresh

Default: 80

Allows the configuration of the low threshold.

The low threshold receive port utilization percentage that maintains a previously generated alarm condition. If the utilization percentage falls below the low threshold within the polling interval, a clear alarm will be generated.

The percentage 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.
Usage:

Receive port utilization thresholds generate alerts or alarms based on the utilization percentage of each configured port in relation to data received during the specified polling interval. This threshold is configured on a per-port basis.

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.
Alerts or alarms are triggered for receive port utilization based on the following rules:

- 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 Threshold

If a trigger condition occurs within the polling interval, the alert or alarm will not be generated until the end of the polling interval.

Refer 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.
Example:
The following command configures a receive port high utilization threshold percent of 70 and a low threshold of 50 for an system using the Alarm thresholding model:

The low threshold transmit port utilization percentage that maintains a previously generated alarm condition. If the utilization percentage falls below the low threshold within the polling interval, a clear alarm will be generated.

The percentage 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.

default

Resets the default which disables this threshold.
toh_value
To facilitate configuration the SD and SF rates have been combined into a single setting. .

- 0: Disabled
- 1 -1.E-04
- 2 - 1.E-05
- 3 - 1.E-06
- 4 - 1.E-07
- 5 - 1.E-08
- 6 - 1.E-09
- 7 - 1.E-10
- 8 - 1.E-11

Usage:

This command can be used to configure the line threshold whether the port is active or standby and sets a standard option for the paired values of the line’s signal degrade and signal failure (SDSF) BER.

The SD is kept at a value of 100 erroredBits/sec less than the corresponding value of the SF. So if the SD threshold is configured at 1 error in every 100000 bits/sec, then the SF threshold automatically becomes 1 error in every 1000 bits/sec.

The port will go operationally down as soon as the SD threshold is crossed.
