My requirement is to trigger an event when the interface Rx utilization shoots over 50 % averaged over 30 secs. I can think of two possible ways of doing this with EEM applet: 1.  event interface name GigabitEthernet0/0 parameter rxload entry-op ge entry-val 128 entry-type value poll-interval 1 average-factor 30 2. event interface name GigabitEthernet0/0 parameter receive_rate_bps entry-op ge entry-val 500000000 entry-type rate average-factor 30 poll-interval 1 The first one doesn't seem to work because EEM requires entry-type be 'rate' when average-factor is specified. I would also like to know how rxload and txload parameters are calculated. How often the byte counters are sampled to calculate rxload/txload values ? ... View more

Hello ! I have a basic question with IP addressing for management network. We use management IP address to identify each network element. I have come across two forms of IP addressing for management network: 1. Assign the IP address directly to an interface (if its a L2 switch, the interface is made L3 using *no switchport* command) of the network element. 2. Create a SVI i.e., define a management VLAN on each network element, assign IP to this VLAN and assign a port to this VLAN for management. Both these designs provide IP termination on the network elements for management using standard network management protocols. I am wondering what's the difference between the two. Any significant advantage of one over the other ? Please share your thoughts. P.S. Many vendors don't seem to support command equivalent to *no switchport* on Cisco L2 switches. I presume the reason for this is they don't have MAC addresses on L2 switch ports. Each switch has only 1 MAC address (which identifies the switch) unlike Cisco switches wherein each interface has its own MAC address and can be converted to a L3 interface.

I have a query related to Pollers in HUM 1.2 : In the HUM Poller Creation , we have an option to “poll all instances”. I am checking it because I want to poll all available instances on the device so that complete information about all devices is available for device statistics like Top N/Bottom N Utilization/Errors etc. .. on the HUM portal.. In the Poller Status, I see some errors and the failure status is “Permanent” and the reason is “No Such Instance - The specified instance is not available”. I don’t see any reason why this is happening, because HUM itself is polling the devices and fetching the instances available & it is throwing an error saying instance is not available. As per my understanding (Please correct me if I am wrong !),  It makes sense if the failure status is “Transient” which would mean that device is down/SNMP credentials are incorrect/SNMP request time out . However I see the Failure status is “Permanent”. Could any of you please tell me why this is happening ? Also please let me know how do we avoid “Permanent” Poller failures ? Appreciate your help and support, Thanks & Regards, Naveen ... View more
