Link Bundle Monitoring

Link bundle monitoring allows the system to monitor the use of multiple links for an uneven distribution.

Monitoring linked ECMP bundles allows traffic distribution amounts in a link to be monitored for unfair distribution at any given time. A global default threshold of 60% is Link bundle monitoring allows the system to monitor the use of multiple links for an uneven distribution. . Links are monitored in 15-second intervals for three consecutive instances. Any deviation within that time causes a syslog to be sent and an alarm event generate. When the deviation clears, another syslog is sent and a clear alarm event generates. For example, link bundle monitoring percent threshold: %STKUNIT0-M:CP %IFMGR-5-BUNDLE_UNEVEN_DISTRIBUTION: Found uneven distribution in LAG bundle 11.

Link bundle utilization is calculated as the total bandwidth of all links divided by the total bytes-per-second of all links. Within each ECMP group, you can specify interfaces. If you enable monitoring for the ECMP group, utilization calculation performs when the utilization of the link-bundle (not a link within a bundle) exceeds 60%.

Enable link bundle monitoring using the ecmp-group command.

NOTE An ecmp-group index is generated automatically for each unique ecmp-group when you configure multipath routes to the same network. The system can generate a maximum of 512 unique ecmp-groups. The ecmp-group indexes are generated in even numbers (0, 2, 4, 6... 1022) and are for information only.

For link bundle monitoring with ECMP, to enable the link bundle monitoring feature, use the ecmp-group command. In the following example, the ecmp-group with id 2, enabled for link bundle monitoring is user configured. This is different from the ecmp-group index 2 that is created by configuring routes and is automatically generated.

These two ecmp-groups are not related in any way.
