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

[Aaron Riemer]

Hi Kyle,

 

I have had a think about this a little more. It is probably more worthwhile
monitoring the utilisation of the fabric on all blades rather than counting
up packets per second per interface. I understand that I would lose
visibility of any local switching going on (i.e. traffic not traversing the
switch fabric).

 

Please see my other post. Any comments welcome :)

 

Cheers,

 

Aaron.

You can use snmp to collect packets/sec also, cacti can make nice graphs for
both mb/sec and packets/sec

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.
