Setting The Statistics Polling Interval; Configuring Jumbo Frame Support - HP A3100-8 v2 SI Configuration Manual

To do...
Enable the interface to send storm
control threshold event traps
Enable the interface to log storm
control threshold events
NOTE:
For network stability, use the default or set a higher traffic polling interval.
•
Storm control uses a complete polling cycle to collect traffic data, and analyzes the data in the next cycle.
•
An interface takes one to two polling intervals to take a storm control action.
You can use storm control to set the upper and lower thresholds for all three types of packets
•
(respectively) under the same interface.

Setting the statistics polling interval

Follow these steps to set the statistics polling interval on an Ethernet interface:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter Ethernet interface view
Set the statistics polling interval on
the Ethernet interface
To display the interface statistics collected in the last polling interval, use the display interface command.
To clear interface statistics, use the reset counters interface command.

Configuring jumbo frame support

An Ethernet interface might receive some frames larger than the standard Ethernet frame size (called
"jumbo frames") during high-throughput data exchanges such as file transfers. Usually, an Ethernet
interface discards jumbo frames. With jumbo frame support enabled globally, each Layer 2 Ethernet
interface can process frames larger than the standard Ethernet frame size (1536 bytes) yet smaller than
2048 bytes.
Follow these steps to configure jumbo frame support in system view:
Use the command...
storm-constrain enable trap
storm-constrain enable log
Use the command...
system-view
interface interface-type
interface-number
flow-interval interval
9
Remarks
Optional
By default, the interface sends
traps when monitored traffic
exceeds the upper threshold or
drops below the lower threshold
from the upper threshold.
Optional
By default, the interface outputs log
messages when monitored traffic
exceeds the upper threshold or
falls below the lower threshold
from the upper threshold.
