Chapter 1 Using the Cisco Multicast Manager
Using the Administration Tool
The L2 Polling Configuration page contains:
The
Current Layer 2 Switch Polling Configuration
section shows you all monitored switches and
ports in a tabular format.
•
Under the
Modify
column, you can edit or delete a specific switch and port.
•
Under the
Time Threshold
column, click on
Time-Based Thresholds
to configure up to 50
different time of day high and low thresholds for each port. Click the
Set Thresholds
button to save
your changes.
Each time a port exceeds a threshold, a trap is sent and a report is generated.
Tree Polling
Before you can monitor a tree using the Tree Polling Configuration page, you must build a multicast tree
and save it to the database as a baseline (see the
“Show All Groups” section on page 1-61
).
Once saved, the trees appear in the
Saved Trees
list of the Tree Polling Configuration page. To monitor
a tree, select the tree name, and click Add. The tree is drawn in the background for every interval that
you set up for tree polling (see the
Global Polling Configuration, page 1-23
). This tree is compared with
the tree saved in the database. If it is different, a trap is sent, and a report generated.
