[c-nsp] Monitoring 6K performance (pps)

[Aaron Riemer]

Hey guys,

 

We are looking at upgrading our CAT6K SUP's and I am trying to figure out
how I can monitor the current throughput.

 

We currently monitor the interface utilisation (bits / sec) with SNMP. That
is all well and good but I am looking to obtain raw packets per second (pps)
that are actually processed by the switch. Obviously bits / sec are not the
same as packets / sec.

 

Is there any real way to go about this other than monitoring each interface
and calculating a total for a given time period? 

 

Ideas?

 

Cheers,

 

Aaron.
