Synopsis perfcfgsave

Description Use this command to save the current Performance Monitor configuration for end-to-end (EE) and

filter configuration settings of performance monitoring into nonvolatile memory. This enables the

performance monitoring configuration to be saved across power cycles.

The number of monitors saved to flash memory has the following limitations:

16 EE monitors

16 filter monitors

A total number of 512 monitors per a switch

When there are more than 512 monitors in the system, monitors are saved to the flash in the

following order:

For each port (from 0 to MAX_PORT), the EE monitors in each port are saved to the flash first.

Filter monitors for each port are saved next.

When the total monitors per port or switch exceeds the limit, the following message is displayed:

“Performance monitor count has exceeded limit. some monitors have been discarded.”

Monitors created by Web Tools will not be saved in persistent memory.

This command requires a Brocade Advanced Performance Monitoring license.

This command is not supported on virtual FC ports (VE/VEX_Port), EX_Port, M (Mirror) ports and
