Commands for Status Monitoring and Statistics
ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 supports only the Summit X450 family of switches and the BlackDiamond 8800 series switch.
ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 Command Reference Guide
650
●
probeDateTime—If you configure the probeDateTime object, you can view the current date and time
of the probe.
●
probeResetControl—If you configure the probeResetControl object, you can restart a managed device
that is not running normally. Depending on your configuration, you can do one of the following:
■
Warm boot—A warm boot restarts the device using the current configuration saved in non-
volatile memory.
■
Cold boot—A cold boot causes the device to reset the configuration parameters stored in non-
volatile memory to the factory defaults and then restarts the device using the restored factory
default configuration.
NOTE
You can only use the RMON features of the system if you have an RMON management application and have enabled
RMON on the switch.
RMON requires one probe per LAN segment, and stand-alone RMON probes have traditionally been
expensive. Therefore, the approach taken by Extreme Networks has been to build an inexpensive
RMON probe into the agent of each system. This allows RMON to be widely deployed around the
network without costing more than traditional network management. The switch accurately maintains
RMON statistics at the maximum line rate of all of its ports.
For example, statistics can be related to individual ports. Also, because a probe must be able to see all
traffic, a stand-alone probe must be attached to a nonsecure port. Implementing RMON in the switch
means that all ports can have security features enabled.
To view the status of RMON polling on the switch, use the
show management
command. The
show
management
command displays information about the switch including the enable/disable state for
RMON polling.
To view the RMON memory usage statistics for a specific memory type (for example, statistics, events,
logs, history, or alarms) or for all memory types, use the following command:
show rmon memory {detail | <memoryType>}
Example
The following command enables the collection of RMON statistics on the switch:
enable rmon
History
This command was first available in ExtremeWare XOS 11.1.
Platform Availability
