perfAddIPMonitor

Adds a filter-based performance monitor for IP frame count.

Synopsis perfaddipmonitor [slotnumber/]portnumber [alias]

Description Use this command to define filter-based monitors to count the number of IP traffic frames. Only

frames transmitted are counted.

After a successful execution of this command, a monitor number is displayed. The monitor number

is provided for manipulation of these filter-based performance monitors. The optional user-defined

alias is also displayed, if one is specified. All valid monitor numbers and user-defined aliases can

be displayed with the perfShowFilterMonitor command.

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

GbE ports.

The execution of this command is subject to Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place.

Operands The operands are as follows:

slotnumber For bladed systems only, this operand specifies the slot number of the port

on which the monitor is to be added, followed by a slash (/).

portnumber Specifies the number of the port on which the monitor is to be added, relative

to its slot for bladed systems. Use switchShow for a list of valid ports.

alias Specify a name for this monitor. This string truncates to a maximum of 10

characters. It might be surrounded by quotation marks, in order to include

spaces. This operand is optional. The default alias is “IP Frame”.

The interfaces will accept IPv6 address formats of the client attempting to create filter monitor.

Examples To add an IP monitor to a port:

switch:admin> perfaddipmonitor 1/4 “IP_MONITOR”

IP traffic frame monitor #0 added
