Monitoring VAS Traffic Forwarding


Revised: November 8, 2010, OL-23843-01

Introduction

Use these commands to display the following information for VAS configuration and operational status summary.

Global VAS status summary — VAS mode, the traffic link used

VAS Server Groups information summary — operational status, number of configured servers, number of current active servers.

This information may be displayed for a specific server group or all server groups

VAS servers information summary — operational status, Health Check operational status, number of subscribers attached to this server.

This information may be displayed for a specific server or all servers

Bandwidth per VAS server and VAS direction (to VAS / from VAS)

VAS health check counters

Sample outputs are included.

How to Display Health Check Counters for All VAS Servers


Step 1 From the SCE> prompt, type show interface linecard 0 VAS-traffic-forwarding VAS server-id all counters health-check and press Enter.


How to Clear the Health Check Counters for a Specified VAS Server


Step 1 From the SCE> prompt, type clear interface linecard 0 VAS-traffic-forwarding VAS server-id id-number counters health-check and press Enter.

How to Display Bandwidth per VAS Server and VAS Direction

Note that the bandwidth presented in this command is measured at the Transmit queues, therefore the first table in the example presents the bandwidth of traffic transmitted towards the VAS servers and the second table presents the bandwidth of traffic transmitted out of the SCE platform after being handled by the VAS servers.

The counting is based on L2 bytes.


Step 1 From the SCE> prompt, type show interface linecard 0 counters VAS-traffic-bandwidth and press Enter.


Example

SCE>show interface linecard 0 counters VAS-traffic-bandwidth
