Chapter 4: System Monitoring Fundamentals The Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 3500 Series provide features that allow you to monitor your network, display switch statistics, log system events, and provide Remote Network Monitoring (RMON). CPU and memory utilization The CPU utilization feature provides data for CPU and memory utilization. You can view CPU utilization information for the past 10 seconds (s), 1minute (min), 1 hour (hr), 24 hr, or since system startup.
The System Log displays messages obtained from system Non Volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM) or Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM). The System Log displays only the data for the Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 3500 Series through the Console or Comm port or Telnet.
Port mirroring These exceptions cause the switch to reset itself. Each time an exception happens, a SYSLOG message is also generated with the severity “Critical” . The message is saved in NVRAM and can be seen using the show logging command. NVRAM can store up to 50 Critical/Serious messages.
Remote Monitoring Remote monitoring (RMON) MIB is an interface between the RMON agent on an Ethernet Routing Switch 3500 Series switch and an RMON management application, such as Enterprise Device Manager. The RMON agent defines objects that are suitable for the management of any type of network, but some groups are targeted for Ethernet networks in particular.
Page 23
Remote Monitoring How RMON alarms work The alarm variable is polled and the result is compared against upper and lower limit values you select after you create the alarm. If either limit is reached or crossed during the polling period then the alarm triggers and generates an event that you can view in the event log or the trap log.
Page 24
If you track the current values of a delta-valued alarm and add them together, therefore, the result is twice the actual value. (This result is not an error in the software.) Configuration — System Monitoring March 2013 Comments? infodev@avaya.com...
Remote Monitoring How events work An event specifies whether a trap, a log, or a trap and a log is generated to view alarm activity. When you enable RMON globally, two default events are generated: • Rising Event • Falling Event The default events specify that after an alarm goes out of range, the firing of the alarm is tracked in both a trap and a log.
The system then sends syslog messages simultaneously to both servers to ensure that syslog messages are recorded, even if one of the servers becomes unavailable. The servers can use either an IPv4 or IPv6 address. Configuration — System Monitoring March 2013 Comments? infodev@avaya.com...
