Configuring resource usage counter for multicast streams

Configure the resource usage counters to query the number of ingress and egress IP multicast streams traversing the switch. After you configure the counter thresholds for ingress and egress records, if the record usage goes beyond the threshold, you receive notification through a trap on the console, a logged message, or both.

About this task

Note

This procedure is supported only on a DvR Controller. It is not supported on a DvR Leaf node.

Important

If you do not configure the thresholds, EDM displays only the ingress and egress records that are currently in use.

You can configure the resource usage counter on a VRF instance the same way you configure the Global Router except that you must first launch the appropriate VRF context.

Procedure

In the navigation pane, expand the following folders: Configuration > IP.
Click Multicast.
Select the Resource Usage tab.
Configure the ingress and egress thresholds.
Configure the notification methods.
Click Apply.

Resource Usage field descriptions

Use the data in the following table to use the Resource Usage tab.


Name		Description
Egress Records In-Use		Displays the number of egress records traversing the switch.
Ingress Records In-Use		Displays the number of ingress records (source or group) traversing the switch.
Egress Threshold		Configures the egress threshold level (0–32767).
Ingress Threshold		Configures the ingress threshold level (0–32767).
SendTrapOnly		Sends only trap notification messages after the number of streams exceeds a threshold level. Select disable if you select a different notification type. You can configure only one notification type.
SendTrapAndLog		Sends both trap and log notification messages after the number of streams exceeds a threshold level. Select disable if you select a different notification type.
LogMsgOnly		Sends only log notification messages after the number of streams exceeds a threshold level. Select disable if you select a different notification type.
