Status Monitoring and Statistics
Enabling and Disabling Backplane Diagnostic Packets on the
Switch
To enable backplane diagnostic packets, use the following command:
enable sys-health-check slot <slot>
BlackDiamond 10K switch—By default, the system health checker tests the packet path every 6 seconds
for the specified slot.
Aspen 8810 switch—By default, the system health checker tests the data link every 5 seconds for the
specified slot.
NOTE
Enabling backplane diagnostic packets increases CPU utilization and competes with network traffic for resources.
To disable backplane diagnostic packets, use the following command:
disable sys-health-check slot <slot>
BlackDiamond 10K switch—By default, the system health checker discontinues sending backplane
diagnostic packets and returns the polling frequency to 60 seconds on the specified slot. Only polling is
enabled.
Aspen 8810 switch—By default, the system health checker discontinues sending backplane diagnostic
packets to the specified slot. Only polling is enabled.

Configuring Backplane Diagnostic Packets on the Switch

To configure the frequency of sending backplane diagnostic packets, use the following command:
configure sys-health-check interval <interval>
NOTE
Extreme Networks does not recommend configuring an interval of less than the default interval. Doing so can cause
excessive CPU utilization.

System Health Check Examples

This section provides examples for using the system health checker on the BlackDiamond 10K switch
and the Aspen 8810 switch. For more detailed information about the system health check commands,
