Log and trap fundamentals
Current operating parameters are
• PCMCIA card size: 8192 KB
• Current log file size: 200 KB
There are no files on the PCMCIA card except for the current SMP log file. The system
recalculates the allowable log file size:
• Space available to SMP: 8192 KB – 0KB = 8192 KB
• Allowed log file size: 2048 KB
The system transfers the current log file to a remote host when the log file size reaches the
configured maximum size of 2048 KB. The maxoccupyPercentage parameter does not have
any affect in this example, since the space available for SMP is so much greater than the
maxsize parameter.
Example 2
The Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 8800/8600 is operating for some time with an 8 MB (8192
KB) PCMCIA card installed.
The configured parameters are
• minsize: 100 KB
• maxsize: 2048 KB
• maxoccupyPercentage: 90
Current operating parameters are
• PCMCIA card size: 8192 KB
• Current log file size: 1000 KB
There are some image and configuration files on the PCMCIA card which take up a total of
6144 KB. The system recalculates the allowable log file size:
• Space available to SMP: 8192 KB – 6144 KB = 2048 KB
• Allowed log file size: 2048 KB * 0.90 = 1843 KB
The switch transfers the log file to a remote host when the file reaches 1843 KB. A transfer is
triggered at 1843 KB, rather than 2048 KB, because of the maxoccupyPercentage
parameter. This parameter, set at 90% in this example, ensures that the PCMCIA card never
completely fills to 100% capacity. Therefore, maxsize or maxoccuptPercentage triggers
the log file transfer depending on which is reached first.
Example 3
The Ethernet Routing Switch 8800/8600 is operating for some time with an 8MB (8192KB)
PCMCIA card installed.
