Total Access 5000 Business Services Deployment Guide
Introduction
The Total Access 5000 provides the ability to view counts of various traffic types throughout
the system that is not generally available by way of the normal performance monitoring
buckets or counters. Dynamic counters allow the user to set up a counter monitoring traffic as
it is transmitted to, or received from, any interface in the Total Access 5000 or NetVanta. This
includes backplane, EFM group, Ethernet, Gigabit‐Ethernet, and Link Aggregation interfaces.
In addition to the interface to be monitored, the VLAN, VLAN p‐bit, and color of the traffic
can be specified.
A user could choose to monitor any green traffic being received on a particular VLAN from a
specified EFM bonding group. Or, a user could choose to monitor red traffic on a particular
VLAN being thrown away by the policer. Only one of each filter can be specified. For
example, two VLANs cannot be specified for a single dynamic counter.
Configure or Modify the Counter Profile for the Counter
Profiles can be edited to change any saved criteria.To configure or modifty a counter profile,
complete the following procedure:
1. From the Enable prompt, type configure terminal , and press E
