Administrator Guide

● (From a Dell Networking system) Identify the physical location of the system (for example, San Jose, 350 Holger Way, 1st
floor lab, rack A1-1).
CONFIGURATION mode
snmp-server location text
You may use up to 55 characters.
The default is None.
● (From a management station) Identify the system manager along with this person’s contact information (for example, an
email address or phone number).
CONFIGURATION mode
snmpset -v version -c community agent-ip sysContact.0 s “contact-info”
You may use up to 55 characters.
The default is None.

CONFIGURATION mode

Configuring the CPU Utilization for SNMP Traps
When the total CPU utilization exceeds the configured threshold for the specified time, a threshold notification is sent as an
SNMP trap. If a low threshold value is not specified, the low threshold value is set to the same value as the high threshold value.
The system generates a Syslog and SNMP trap each time the configured CPU threshold is crossed.
NOTE:
The 5 sec util-threshold cpu command is disabled by default on all switches. To enable the command,
enter the util-threshold cpu 5sec all high {value greater than zero}. To disable the Syslog and traps for the 5
sec CPU utilization thresholds, enter the util-threshold cpu 5sec all high 0 or no util-threshold cpu
5sec {cp | rp | lp slot-id | all} command.
Use the util-threshold cpu command to configure the high or low CPU utilization threshold for SNMP traps. Use the
show util-threshold cpu command to display the configured values of CPU utilization thresholds.
Parameters
● cpu-utilization-time — Enter one of the following values to configure the threshold level for the time in which a switch CPU
can be used:
○ 5 sec
○ 1 min
○ 5 min
● cp — Enter the keyword cp to configure the CPU utilization time for the Control Processor CPU.
● rp — Enter the keyword rp to configure the CPU utilization time for the Route Processor CPU
● lp — Enter the keyword lp to configure the line processor CPU utilization time. The range of switch slot IDs is from 0 to 2.
● pe — Configure the CPU utilization time of all PEs that are configured in the system.
● all — Enter the keyword all to configure the CPU utilization time on all switch CPUs: Control Processor, Route Processor,
PE, and line cards.
● {{high | low} cpu-utilization-threshold-percentage} — Enter a percentage value to configure the high or low threshold level
for the time in which a switch CPU can be used. The percentage of CPU use ranges from 0 to 100.
Defaults
○ High CPU utilization threshold: 1 min = 85%, 5 min = 80%
○ Low CPU utilization threshold: 1 min = 75%, 5 min = 70%
