SNMP Notifications
In addition to the CLI, the system supports Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) notifications that
indicate status and alarm conditions. Refer to the SNMP MIB Reference for a detailed listing of these
notifications.
Monitoring System Status and Performance
This section contains commands used to monitor the status of tasks, managers, applications and other software
components in the system. Output descriptions for most of the commands are located in the Statistics and
Counters Reference.
In Release 21.1 and forward, use the do show command to run all Exec Mode show commands while in
Global Configuration Mode. It is not necessary to exit the Config mode to run a show command. The pipe
character | is only available if the command is valid in the Exec mode.
