Enabling and Configuring Backplane diagnostics. The following example:
Enables backplane diagnostic packets on slot 3
●
Modifies the polling interval from 60 seconds to 6 seconds
●
Configures backplane diagnostic packets to be sent every 7 seconds and polling to occur every 7
●
seconds
1 Enable backplane diagnostic packets on slot 3 using the following command:
enable sys-health-check slot 3
When you enable backplane diagnostic packets on slot 3, the polling timer changes from its current
default value of 60 seconds to 6 seconds; 6 seconds is the default for sending backplane diagnostic
packets.
2 Configure backplane diagnostic packets to be sent every 7 seconds and update the polling rate to 7
seconds using the following command:
configure sys-health-check interval 7
NOTE
Extreme Networks does not recommend configuring an interval of less than 6 seconds. Doing this can cause
excessive CPU utilization.
Disabling Backplane Diagnostics. Building upon the previous example, the following example disables
backplane diagnostics on slot 3:
disable sys-health-check slot 3
Backplane diagnostic packets are no longer sent, and the polling interval goes from 7 seconds to 70
seconds.
To return to the "default" settings of sending backplane diagnostic packets every 6 seconds (when
enabled) and polling the system every 60 seconds, specify 6 for the
command:
configure sys-health-check interval 6
