▀ Forwarded Packet Thresholds

Forwarded Packet Thresholds
Forwarded packet thresholds generate alerts or alarms based on the total number of packets that were forwarded to
active system CPU(s) during the specified polling interval. Packets are forwarded to active system CPUs when the
NPUs do not have adequate information to properly route them.
Important:
packet types are included in the packet count for this threshold.
Alerts or alarms are triggered for forwarded packets based on the following rules:
Enter condition: Actual number of forwarded packets > or = High Threshold
Clear condition: Actual number of forwarded packets < Low Threshold
If a trigger condition occurs within the polling interval, the alert or alarm will not be generated until the end of the
polling interval.

Configuring Forwarded Packet Thresholds

Use the following example to configure the forwarded packet thresholds:
configure
threshold packets-forwarded-to-cpu <high_thresh> [ clear <low_thresh> ]
threshold poll packets-forwarded-to-cpu interval <time>
threshold monitoring packets-forwarded-to-cpu
