Displaying interface monitoring default values
To display the default values of Interface threshold and alert options, issue the <interface> custom
action located in the <threshold> node in the urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-threshold-monitor
namespace. The <threshold> node is, in turn, located by augmentation under the
<show>/<defaults> node hierarchy in the urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-common-def
namespace.
<rpc xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0" message-id="1119">
<nca:action xmlns:nca="http://tail-f.com/ns/netconf/actions/1.0">

<show xmlns="urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-common-def">

<interface>
<type>Ethernet</type>

Configuring interface monitoring
Use the following procedures to configure interface monitoring on a standalone switch. For a Fabric
Cluster configuration, you must first identify the routing bridge with the RBridge ID.
1. Issue the <edit-config> RPC to configure the <threshold-monitor-hidden> node in the
urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-threshold-monitor workspace.
2. Under the <threshold-monitor-hidden> node, include the <threshold-monitor>/<interface>
hierarchy of node elements.
3. Under the <interface> node, include the <policy> node element to specify that the system will
monitor the interface parameters using custom settings rather than the default settings.
4. Under the <policy> node, include the <policy_name> leaf element, and specify “custom.”
5. Under the <policy> node, specify the <area> node element.
6. Under the <area> node, specify the following elements.
a. In the <type> leaf element, specify the type of interface as “Ethernet.”
b. In the <area_value> leaf element, specify the interface error type to be monitored:
CRCAlignErrors—The total number of frames received with either a bad Frame Check
Sequence (FCS) or an alignment error.
SymbolErrors—The number of words received as an unknown (invalid) symbol. Large
symbol errors indicate a bad device, cable, or hardware.
IFG—The minimum-length interframe gap (IFG) between successive frames is violated. The
typical minimum IFG is 12 bytes.
MissingTerminationCharacter—The number of frames that terminated by anything other
than the Terminate character.
