Adding frame monitors to a port
If the switch does not have enough resources to add a frame monitor to a port, then other frame
monitors on that port may have to be deleted to free resources.
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter the fmMonitor
--addmonitor command to add a frame monitor to one or more ports.
The set of ports to be removed from monitoring is automatically saved to the persistent
configuration unless you specify the -nosave option on the command.
Example
The following example adds a standard SCSI frame type monitor to ports 3 through 12.
switch:admin> fmmonitor --addmonitor SCSI -port 3-12
Removing frame monitors from a port
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter the fmMonitor
--delmonitor command to remove a specific monitor from one or more
ports.
The set of ports to be removed from monitoring is automatically saved to the persistent
configuration unless you specify the -nosave option on the command.
Example
The following example removes the user-defined frame monitor, myframemonitor, from all ports.
switch:admin> fmmonitor --delmonitor myframemonitor
Saving a frame monitor configuration
When you assign or remove frame monitors on ports, the list of ports to be monitored is
automatically saved persistently, unless you specified the
-nosave option.
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter the fmMonitor
--save command to save the set of ports on which the frame type is
monitored to the persistent configuration.
Example
In the following example, the first command adds a standard SCSI frame type monitor to ports 3
through 12, but does not save the port configuration. The second command saves the port
configuration persistently.
switch:admin> fmmonitor --addmonitor SCSI -port 3-12 -nosave
switch:admin> fmmonitor --save SCSI
Displaying frame monitors
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter the fmMonitor
--show command.
