Changing bottleneck alert parameters

18

The alert parameters include whether alerts are sent and the threshold, time, and quiet time
options.

For a trunk, you can change the alert parameters only on the master port only.

1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.

2. Enter the bottleneckmon

--

config command to set the alert option and specify new threshold

values.

Enter the bottleneckmon

--

configclear command to remove any port-specific alert parameters

and revert to the switch-wide parameters.

Example

The following example disables alerts on port 1, excludes ports 2, 3, and 4 from bottleneck
monitoring, and changes the alert settings on ports 2 and 3. The bottleneck

--

status command

shows the settings for these ports. Note that this example changes the alert settings on ports 2
and 3, even though they are excluded from bottleneck detection.

switch:admin> bottleneckmon --config -noalert 1
switch:admin> bottleneckmon --exclude 2-4
switch:admin> bottleneckmon --config -alert -lthresh .99 -cthresh .9 -time
4000 -qtime 600 2-3
switch:admin> bottleneckmon --status
Bottleneck detection - Enabled
==============================

Switch-wide alerting parameters:
============================
Alerts - Yes
Latency threshold for alert - 0.100
Congestion threshold for alert - 0.800
Averaging time for alert - 300 seconds
Quiet time for alert - 300 seconds

Per-port overrides for alert parameters:

Example

The following example changes alert settings for the entire logical switch.
