Configuration Example

The following example configures two network ports, one tool port, and a passall map and configures alarm buffer thresholds on the ports.

Step

Description

Command

1.    

Configure two network ports and a tool port.

(config) # port 12/1/x5..x6 type network (config) # port 12/1/x2 type tool

2.  

Configure buffer thresholds on each port.

(config) # port 12/1/x5 alarm buffer-threshold 30(config) # port 12/1/x6 alarm buffer-threshold 32(config) # port 12/1/x2 alarm buffer-threshold 35

3.  

Create a passall map.

(config) # map-passall alias bufExample(config map-passall alias bufExample) # from 12/1/x5..x6(config map-passall alias bufExample) # to 12/1/x2(config map-passall alias bufExample) # exit(config) #

4.  

Display buffer statistics.

(config) # show buffer port 12/1/x5,12/1/x6,12/1/x2(config) # show profile current buffer(config) # show profile history buffer

Use the following command to display the buffer statistics on the ports.

(config) # show buffer port 12/1/x5,12/1/x6,12/1/x2

Use the following command to display the current buffers:

(config) # show profile current buffer all

                 RX:  0                 TX:  37          RX Config:  0          TX Config:  35Last Time Exceeding:  2014/07/01 17:30:07.384
  12/1/x5 counters    value---------------------------
                 RX:  41                 TX:  0          RX Config:  30          TX Config:  0Last Time Exceeding:  0
  12/1/x6 counters    value---------------------------
                 RX:  39                 TX:  0          RX Config:  32          TX Config:  0Last Time Exceeding:  0

Use the following command to display the last minute of buffer history for a specific port:

(config) # show profile history buffer 12/1/x5 min
