NP memory error monitoring

5

Brocade(config)# sysmon np memory-errors polling-period 10

To configure NP memory error monitoring to generate syslog messages, use the following
command:

Brocade(config)# sysmon np memory-errors action syslog

You may want to disable error reporting if, for example, a hardware fault exists and is generating a
lot of errors. To disable reporting of NP memory errors, use the following command:

Brocade(config)# sysmon np memory-errors action none

The following example disables monitoring of memory errors on interface modules.

Brocade(config)# no sysmon np memory-errors

The no form of the command specifying a poll-interval value restores the default polling period. For
example, the following command restores the polling period to 60 seconds.

Brocade(config)# no sysmon np memory-errors polling-period 1000

The no form of the command specifying the action as syslog-and-trap, syslog, or trap will remove
that action. The following command removes the syslog action.

Brocade(config)# no sysmon np memory-errors action syslog

The no form of the command specifying the action as none will restore the default action
(syslog-and-trap). To restore the NP memory error action to syslog-and-trap, enter the following
command:

Brocade(config)# no sysmon np memory-errors action none

Syntax: [no] sysmon np memory-errors

{ polling-period secs | action {syslog-and-trap | syslog | trap | none }}

The polling-period secs variable specifies the frequency of polling for NP memory errors. The range
is from 1 through 65535. The default value is 60 seconds.

The action parameter specifies the action taken when NP memory errors are detected. If the action
parameter is set to none, NP memory errors are not reported. Setting the action parameter to
syslog specifies the generation of a syslog message. Setting the action parameter to trap specifies
the generation of a SNMP trap. If action is configured as syslog followed by configuration as trap,
then the action will become syslog-and-trap. The default action is syslog-and-trap.

The no form of this command restores the default action.

NOTE

The polling-period parameter determines the interval between checks for NP memory errors.
Reporting may not happen within the polling interval. It may be delayed by factors such as a high
CPU load on the interface module or the management module, by low memory etc.

NOTE

The action parameter controls the generation of syslog messages or SNMP traps: they cannot be
controlled by the no snmp-server enable traps command or the no logging enable command.

NOTE

Memory errors are detected on the interface module. Errors may not be reported if there is a
communication problem between the management module and the interface module.
