Monitoring Filter-Based Performance
14
Example: Setting and displaying an end-to-end mask
The end-to-end mask is set on slot 1, port 11.
To display a monitor
Enter the perfMonitorShow command, as described in “Displaying Monitor Counters” on page 14-11.
Deleting End-to-End Monitors
Enter the perfDelEeMonitor command to delete end-to-end monitors. You can delete all monitors or
specific monitors. The following example deletes the end-to-end monitor number 0 on slot 1, port 2:
Monitoring Filter-Based Performance
Filter-based performance monitoring counts the number of times a frame with a particular pattern is
transmitted by a port. Filter-based monitoring is achieved by configuring a filter for a particular
purpose. The filter can be a standard filter (for example, a SCSI read command filter that counts the
number of SCSI read commands that have been transmitted by the port) or a user-defined filter
customized for your particular use.
For the SilkWorm 4100 models, the maximum number of filters is 12 per port, in any combination of
standard filters and user-defined filters.
For SilkWorm 200E, 3016, 3250, 3850, 3900, 4012, 12000, and 24000 models, the maximum number
of filters is eight per port, in any combination of standard filters and user-defined filters.
For the SilkWorm 48000 models, the maximum number of filters is 12 per port.
The actual number of filters that can be configured on a port depends on the complexity of the filters.
For trunked ports, the filter is configured on the trunk master.
