Enabling the Verification of Member Links Utilization in a
High-Gigabit Port Channel
This procedure is supported on the Z9000 platform.
To examine the working efficiency of the high-Gigabit Ethernet port channel interfaces, perform the
following steps:
1. Use the hg-link-bundle-monitor slot slotId npuUnit npuUnitId hg-port-channel
portChannelId enable command in Global Configuration mode to enable this functionality to
detect the working efficiency of the high-Gigabit port channel bundle interfaces.
CONFIGURATION mode
Dell(conf)#hg-link-bundle-monitor slot 0 npuUnit 0 hg-port-channel 0 enable
2. Specify the trigger threshold for higig link bundle monitoring.
CONFIGURATION mode
Dell(conf)#hg-link-bundle-monitor trigger-threshold 30
3. Specify the interval in seconds for higig link bundle monitoring.
CONFIGURATION mode
Dell(conf)#hg-link-bundle-monitor rate-interval 10
4. Enable the generation of traps for higig link-bundle monitoring.
CONFIGURATION mode
Dell(conf)#snmp-server enable traps hg-lbm
5. Use the show hg-link-bundle-distribution command to display the traffic-handling and
utilization of the member interfaces of the port channel. The following table describes the output
fields of this show command.
EXEC, EXEC Privilege modes
Dell#show hg-link-bundle-distribution 0 npuUnit 5 hg-port-channel 0
Viewing Buffer Utilization and Queue Statistics on High-
Gigabit Ethernet Backplane Ports
This functionality is supported on the Z9000 platform.
You can now view the queue statistics and buffer utilization counters for the internal leaf port and spine
port queues using the appropriate show commands. Transmit and receive counters and drop counters
per queue are computed and displayed for internal queues on high-Gigabit Ethernet ports in the leaf and
spine nodes. Buffer utilization counters supported for front-end ports are extended to high-Gigabit
backplane ports.
Buffer counters include a new metric or parameter called Total Count cells. This field contains the total
number of cells currently being used by all queues on all ports in a port pipe. The f10-bp-stats.mib is for
statistics collection of backplane ports. Valid backplane ports for leaf NPU units range from 34-41 and for
