rate-monitoring

Adds the interface to a tracked list of interfaces monitored for link utilization.

Syntax

rate-monitoring threshold threshold-value

[no] rate-monitoring

Command Default

The default threshold is 90% (percent) of the initial rate. You can also configure a specific threshold value.

Parameters

threshold

threshold-value: Set a value in the range 100 to 256000000 kbps.

Modes

Maintenance sub-mode under Interface Configuration context.

Usage Guidelines

If rate-monitoring, under the Maintenance Mode sub-mode, is configured on an Ethernet or Port Channel interface, link utilization for that interface is monitored when maintenance mode is enabled.

The no format of the command removes the configured Ethernet or Port Channel interface from the list of monitored interfaces.

Note

This configuration must be applied on all uplinks from a Leaf to have optimum convergence.

When an interface, that is monitored on the SLX-OS device, shows a drop of 90% in traffic, the interface is then shutdown. When all monitored interfaces on the SLX-OS device are shutdown, then the device can enter into the Maintenance Mode.

Examples

The following example configures rate-monitoring to the default value on the ethernet interface 0/1.

SLX # configure terminal
SLX (config) # interface Ethernet 0/1 
SLX (config-if-eth-0/1)# maintenance-mode
SLX (config-if-eth-0/1-maintenance)# rate-monitoring 
SLX (conf-if-eth-0/1-maintenance)#

Example

The following example configures rate-monitoring to a specific value on the ethernet interface 0/1.

SLX # configure terminal
SLX (config) # interface Ethernet 0/1 
SLX (config-if-eth-0/1)# maintenance-mode
SLX (config-if-eth-0/1-maintenance)# rate-monitoring threshold 10000000
SLX (conf-if-eth-0/1-maintenance)# exit
SLX (conf-if-eth-0/1)# exit
SLX (config)#
SLX (config)# do show running-config interface Ethernet 0/1
