Latency Analyzer (LANZ)

Arista Networks’ Latency Analyzer (LANZ) is a family of EOS features that provide enhanced visibility into network dynamics, particularly in areas related to the delay packets experience through the network. The LANZ feature is available on the FM6000, Arad, Trident II, Trident 3, Jericho, Tomahawk and XP80 switch platforms.

This section describes the purpose, behavior, and configuration of LANZ features. Topics covered by this section include:

Introduction to LANZ

LANZ tracks interface congestion and queuing latency with real-time reporting. With LANZ application layer event export, external applications can predict impending congestion and latency. This enables the application layer to make traffic routing decisions with visibility into the network layer.

With LANZ, network operations teams and administrators have near real-time visibility into the network, enabling early detection of microbursts. LANZ continually monitors congestion, allowing for rapid detection of congestion and sending of application layer messages.

LANZ Overview

LANZ monitors output queue lengths to provide congestion information for individual interfaces. This allows for more detailed analysis of congestion events, and allows identification of potential latency problems before they arise. On some platforms, LANZ also monitors global buffer usage.

Output queues for each port are monitored, and information about queue congestion events can be accessed in the form of system log messages, reports, or streaming.

LANZ Monitoring Mechanism

LANZ provides congestion data by continuously monitoring each port’s output queue lengths. When the length of an output queue exceeds the upper threshold for that port, LANZ generates an over-threshold event.

Notifying and Polling Modes

Notifying Mode
In Notifying Mode (available on all platforms), LANZ monitors congestions on all queues and generates Start, Update, and End events every five seconds or at user-configured intervals.
  • Start     event is generated when any queue on an interface exceeds the upper threshold.
  • Update     events are generated periodically while the congested queue remains above the lower threshold. The interval at which Update events are generated is configured using the queue-monitor length update-interval command.
  • End     event is generated when the congested queue drops below the lower threshold.
Polling Mode

Polling Mode is available only on Arad and Jericho switches. On these switches, LANZ can be configured to use Notifying Mode, but it operates in Polling Mode by default. In Polling Mode, LANZ polls the most congested queue in each ASIC and continues to report an over-threshold state every 800 microseconds until all queue lengths for the port pass below the lower threshold.

LANZ Logging

Over-threshold events generated by LANZ can be logged as system log messages. Log messages are generated for events on all ports, at a maximum rate of one message per second per interface. The interval between messages can be configured globally.

Log messages indicate the time of the event, the interface affected, the threshold set for that interface, and the actual number of entries in the port’s queue.

LANZ Reporting

Detailed LANZ data can be viewed through the CLI or exported as a CSV-formatted report.

A circular FIFO event buffer is dynamically shared by all interfaces. When an interface begins generating LANZ over-threshold events it can fill all available buffer space. However, each interface is guaranteed sufficient resources for a minimum of 500 entries.

LANZ Streaming

On some platforms, external client applications can also receive congestion event information as a data stream. The switch can stream LANZ data to up to 100 clients via TCP through port 50001.

Streamed data is in Google protocol buffer format, and includes both over-threshold events and LANZ configuration information.

Configuring LANZ

LANZ is disabled by default and must be enabled to function. Upper and lower queue-length thresholds can be defined for individual interfaces.

Enabling and Disabling LANZ

LANZ is enabled by default on Sand platform switches (those with Arad, Jericho, or Qumran chipsets), allowing the switch to collect and display latency information. LANZ is disabled by default on all other switches. If LANZ is disabled, the queue-monitor length (global configuration mode) command enables LANZ with the current settings, or with the default settings if none have been configured.

When LANZ is enabled, the switch monitors queue lengths on all front-panel ports, and on CPU and fabric ports on selected platforms. Queue length data is available in the following forms:

To disable LANZ globally, enter the no queue-monitor length command in global configuration mode. Disabling LANZ globally also discards LANZ log data, but retains settings. To disable LANZ on an individual interface, enter the no queue-monitor length command in interface Ethernet configuration mode.

Examples

  • This command enables LANZ on the switch.

    switch(config)# queue-monitor length
    switch(config)#
  • This command disables LANZ on the switch.

    switch(config)# no queue-monitor length
    switch(config)#
  • These commands disable LANZ on Ethernet interface 7.

    switch(config)# interface ethernet 7
    switch(config-if-Et7)# no queue-monitor length
    switch(config-if-Et7)#

Specifying the LANZ Mode on Jericho and Arad Switches

On Jericho and Arad switches, LANZ operates by default in Polling Mode, which provides congestion data for the most congested queue per ASIC. They also support Notifying Mode (the LANZ mode used on all other switches), which generates Start, Update, and End events for all queues.

Notifying Mode is enabled using the queue-monitor length notifying command.

Examples

  • This command enables Notifying Mode on a Jericho or Arad switch.
    switch(config)# queue-monitor length notifying 
  • This command disables Notifying Mode on a Jericho or Arad switch, returning LANZ to the default Polling Mode.
    switch(config)# no queue-monitor length notifying 

Configuring LANZ Congestion Thresholds

When LANZ is enabled on the switch, it generates over-threshold events when queue lengths on any monitored interface exceed the upper threshold value and continues generating them until all the queue lengths on that interface drop back below the lower threshold.

Setting the Congestion Update Interval

The queue-monitor length update-interval command specifies the frequency with which congestion information is updated in microseconds.
  • This command sets the time between congestion updates to 10 seconds.
    switch(config)# queue-monitor length update-interval 10000000
    switch(config)#
  • This command resets the time between congestion updates to its default value of 5 seconds.
    switch(config)# default queue-monitor length update-interval
    switch(config)#

Congestion Thresholds on FM6000, Trident II, Trident 3, and Tomahawk Switches

Queue lengths are measured in 480-byte segments on FM6000 switches, in 208-byte segments on Trident II and Tomahawk switches, and in 256-byte segments on Trident 3 switches. The default threshold values are 512 segments and 256 segments. To change the threshold values for a specific interface, use the queue-monitor length thresholds command.

FM6000 switches can also monitor global buffer usage. Global buffers are measured in 160-byte segments; the default threshold values are 10940 segments and 4376 segments. To enable global buffer monitoring, use the queue-monitor length global-buffer command. To change the threshold values for global buffer usage monitoring on the switch, use the queue-monitor length global-buffer thresholds command.

Examples
  • These commands set the upper and lower queue-length thresholds on interface ethernet 5 to 300 segments and 200 segments.

    switch(config)# interface ethernet 5
    switch(config-if-Et5)# queue-monitor length thresholds 300 200
    switch(config-if-Et5)#
  • These commands enable global buffer monitoring on the switch and set the upper and lower thresholds to 9000 segments and 4000 segments.

    switch(config)# queue-monitor length global-buffer
    switch(config)# queue-monitor length global-buffer thresholds 9000 4000
    switch(config)#

Congestion Thresholds on Arad Switches

Queue lengths are measured in bytes. The top threshold value can be between 2 and 52428800 bytes (the default value is 52428800 bytes). To change the upper threshold value for a specific interface, use the queue-monitor length threshold (Arad/Jericho/Qumran) command.

Example
These commands set the upper queue-length threshold on interface ethernet 5 to 2614400 bytes.
switch(config)# interface ethernet 5
switch(config-if-Et5)# queue-monitor length thresholds 2614400
switch(config-if-Et5)#

CPU Port Congestion Thresholds

CPU port queue lengths are also monitored on selected platforms. All CPU ports share common threshold values, which are configured using the queue-monitor length cpu thresholds command. Individual CPU port congestion thresholds cannot be separately configured.

Examples
  • This command sets the upper queue-length threshold for congestion monitoring on all CPU ports to 1000 segments and the lower limit to 300 segments.

    switch(config)# queue-monitor length cpu thresholds 1000 300
    switch(config)#
  • This command resets the queue-length thresholds for CPU port congestion to the default values of 512 and 256.

    switch(config)# default queue-monitor length cpu thresholds
    switch(config)#

Fabric Port Congestion Thresholds

Fabric port queue lengths are also monitored on selected platforms. All fabric ports share common threshold values, which are configured using the queue-monitor length fabric thresholds command. Individual fabric port congestion thresholds cannot be separately configured.

Examples
  • This command sets the upper queue-length threshold for congestion monitoring on all fabric ports to 1000 segments and the lower limit to 300 segments.
    switch(config)# queue-monitor length fabric thresholds 1000 300
    switch(config)#
  • This command resets the queue-length thresholds for fabric port congestion to the default values of 512 and 256.
    switch(config)# default queue-monitor length fabric thresholds
    switch(config)#

Setting LANZ Traffic Sampling

The switch can be configured to automatically send congested traffic to either the CPU or an Ethernet egress interface destination when a queue threshold is crossed by enabling LANZ mirroring through the queue-monitor length mirror command. The CPU or an egress interface mirror destination is then configured through the queue-monitor length mirror destination command. LANZ traffic sampling includes exporting congested traffic to a packet capture device or another tool for analysis, or directly to the switch CPU for inspection through the tcpdump queue-monitor command.

Examples

  • This command enables LANZ traffic sampling.
    switch(config)# queue-monitor length mirror
    switch(config)#
  • This command disables LANZ traffic sampling.
    switch(config)# no queue-monitor length mirror
    switch(config)#
  • This command configures LANZ traffic sampling for a CPU interface mirror destination.
    switch(config)# queue-monitor length mirror destination cpu
    switch(config)#
  • This command configures LANZ traffic sampling for an Ethernet interface mirror destination for ports 1 through 5.
    switch(config)# queue-monitor length mirror destination Ethernet 1-5
    switch(config)#
  • This command configures LANZ traffic sampling for an Ethernet interface mirror destination for ports 6, 10, and 12 through 14.
    switch(config)# queue-monitor length mirror destination Ethernet 6,10,12-14
    switch(config)#
  • This command inspects traffic on the switch.
    switch(config)# tcpdump queue-monitor
    tcpdump: WARNING: lanz: no IPv4 address assigned
    tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
    listening on lanz, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 65535 bytes
    ...
    0 packets captured
    0 packets received by filter
    0 packets dropped by kernel
    switch(config)#

Logging LANZ Congestion Events

To generate syslog messages when queue lengths on an interface exceed its upper threshold, enable logging with the queue-monitor length log command. When logging is enabled, a log message is generated each time one or more queues on an interface exceed the upper threshold value for that interface (see queue-monitor length threshold (Arad/Jericho/Qumran) or queue-monitor length thresholds). Once an interface is over threshold, additional messages are generated at a maximum rate of one per interval as long as the queue length remains above the lower threshold for that interface. No syslog message is generated when queue length drops back under threshold.

Queue length information is not included in log messages, but can be accessed by displaying LANZ data or exporting reports.

On FM6000 platforms, log messages can also be created whenever global buffer usage exceeds its upper threshold value (see queue-monitor length global-buffer thresholds). To enable global buffer monitoring, use the queue-monitor length global-buffer command. To log over-threshold events for the global buffer, use the queue-monitor length global-buffer log command.

Examples
  • This command enables queue-length over-threshold logging with a minimum interval of 10 seconds between messages for a given interface.
    switch(config)# queue-monitor length log 10
  • This command disables queue-length over-threshold logging on the switch.
    switch(config)# queue-monitor length log 0
  • This is an example of a queue-length log message.
    Oct 27 12:48:22 switch QUEUE_MONITOR-6-LENGTH_OVER_THRESHOLD: Interface
    Ethernet6 queue length is over threshold of 512, current length is 1024.
  • This command enables global buffer over-threshold logging on the switch with a minimum interval of 60 seconds between messages.
    witch(config)# queue-monitor length global-buffer log 60

Viewing LANZ Data

LANZ status, and the data stored in the LANZ data buffer, can be viewed using the CLI. Output varies by switch platform, and can be limited to a specified number of records.

Viewing LANZ Data on Arad Platform Switches

When LANZ is enabled on an Arad platform switch, the show queue-monitor length command displays a report of recent over-threshold events for a range of interfaces or for all interfaces. By default, the command displays data for all interfaces, limited to the last 1000 records, with the most recent events listed first. To view a subset of the LANZ data, limited to a specified number of records, use the show queue-monitor length limit command.

Example

This command displays the last 100 records for Ethernet interfaces 6 through 8.

switch# show queue-monitor length ethernet 6-8 limit 100

On the FM6000, Trident II, Trident 3, and Tomahawk platforms, information is also available for the number of dropped packets (see show queue-monitor length drops) and transmission latency (see show queue-monitor length tx-latency); global buffer usage can also be viewed on FM6000 platforms (see show queue-monitor length global-buffer).

Streaming LANZ Data

To support analysis of latency conditions, the switch can be configured to stream LANZ congestion and configuration data. The switch streams LANZ data via TCP in Google protocol buffer format through port 50001 and through the management interface.

You must create a client application to receive the streaming data. By default, the switch will accept up to 10 client connections for streaming LANZ data. This limit can be configured up to a maximum of 100. Maximum connections can be configured when LANZ is disabled.

Enabling and Disabling LANZ Data Streaming

LANZ data streaming is disabled by default. To enable streaming, issue the no show queue-monitor streaming clients command in queue-monitor streaming configuration mode. To disable streaming, use the show queue-monitor streaming clients command.

When streaming is disabled, a message is sent to any connected clients and the connections are closed.

To ensure client access to LANZ data, add a rule to any relevant ACL permitting traffic destined for the LANZ port (50001) before initiating a client connection for streaming from a remote host. A static rule (sequence number 130) in the default control plane ACL permits LANZ traffic, but a similar rule must be added to any user-created ACL.

Examples
  • These commands enable the streaming of LANZ data from the switch.

    switch(config)# queue-monitor streaming
    switch(config-qm-streaming)# no shutdown
    switch(config-qm-streaming)#
  • These commands disable LANZ data streaming.

    switch(config)# queue-monitor streaming
    switch(config-qm-streaming)# shutdown
    switch(config-qm-streaming)#

Configuring Maximum Connections

By default, the switch will accept a maximum of 10 client connections for LANZ data streaming. This maximum can be configured using the max-connections command. If a client connects to the switch after the limit has been reached, an error message is sent and the connection is closed.

Example

This command sets the maximum number of client connections for LANZ data streaming to 50.
switch(config-qm-streaming)# max-connections 50

LANZ Streaming Messages

When streaming is enabled, LANZ sends a message whenever a congestion event or a configuration event occurs. The messages are streamed in Google protocol buffer format.

Configuration Messages

A configuration message is sent whenever a change is made to the LANZ configuration settings on the switch. The switch also sends a configuration message when a new client connection is established.

The configuration message includes the following information:
  • timestamp     time of change in configuration in tens of microseconds (UTC).
  • lanzVersion     LANZ feature version.
  • numOfPorts     number of ports in the switch.
  • segmentSize     segment size.
  • maxQueueSize     maximum queue size in segments.
  • qLenInterval     frequency of updates.
  • intfName     name of the port.
  • switchId     ID of the chip on a multi-chip system.
  • portId     ID of the port.
  • internalPort     “true” if it is an internal port.
  • highThreshold     higher threshold value.
  • lowThreshold     lower threshold value.
Congestion Messages

A congestion message is sent whenever LANZ generates an over-threshold event.

The congestion message includes the following information:
  • timestamp     time of congestion in micro-seconds (UTC).
  • intfName     name of the port.
  • switchId     ID of the chip on a multi-chip system.
  • portId     ID of the port.
  • queueSize     queue size in segments at time of congestion.

Creating the LANZ Client

For a client device to receive streaming data from the LANZ server, it must be running a client application designed to receive LANZ data. Client programs must be based on the Google protocol buffer schema file describing the structure of the congestion and configuration messages which LANZ streams.

Google Protocol Buffers

Google protocol buffers provide an efficient mechanism for serializing LANZ data for streaming. A protocol buffer package is needed in order to run a LANZ client.

The latest version of the Google protocol buffer source code is available at this address: http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/downloads/list

LANZ Message Schema

LANZ client applications must be designed based on the LANZ protocol buffer schema, which defines the format and contents of the streamed messages. The schema file is shown below, and is also available in the Extensions/LANZ directory on this page: https://www.arista.com/en/support/software-download

package LanzProtobuf;

} 

Implementation Procedure

The following steps create and install a functional client to receive streamed LANZ data. This procedure assumes a functional Python programming environment.

  1. Download the example client (lanz_client.py) from the Arista website. It is available in the Extensions/LANZ directory on this page: https://www.arista.com/en/support/software-download
  2. Decompress the GPB archive to a directory.
  3. Run the GPB C++ compilation and install. With default flags using GCC on *nix platforms, this will produce a binary called “protoc” in your /usr/local/bin directory.
  4. From the archive root, cd to python, and run the following commands:
    • python setup.py build
    • python setup.py test
  5. Next, use the protoc compiler to convert the Lanz.proto file into a Python program called Lanz_pb2.py, used by the client. The command to do so is:
    • protoc --python_out=. Lanz.proto
    • The --python_out=. flag drops the compiled Python program in the directory where you ran the command.
  6. Run lanz_client.py -h to activate the LANZ client.

The queue-monitor length (global configuration mode) command enables LANZ with the current settings, or with the default settings if LANZ has not yet been configured. LANZ is enabled by default on Sand platform switches (those with Arad, Jericho, or Qumran chipsets), and disabled by default on all other switches.

When LANZ is enabled, the switch monitors queue lengths on all ports and generates over-threshold events when an output queue becomes congested. Over-threshold event data is available in the following forms:
The no queue-monitor length command entered in global configuration mode disables LANZ and discards LANZ log data, but retains settings. LANZ settings include:

To disable LANZ on an interface, use the no queue-monitor length command in interface configuration mode.

queue-monitor length cpu thresholds

The queue-monitor length cpu thresholds command sets the queue length threshold to define “congested” on all CPU ports for purposes of LANZ reporting. If LANZ is enabled (see queue-monitor length (global configuration mode)), an over-threshold event is generated when one or more queues on a CPU interface exceed the upper threshold, and over-threshold events continue to be generated until all queue lengths on the interface drop below the lower threshold. (To log these events, use the queue-monitor length log command.) Different monitoring thresholds cannot be set for individual CPU ports.

The no queue-monitor length cpu thresholds and default queue-monitor length cpu thresholds commands reset thresholds to the default values (high: 512 segments; low: 256 segments).

Parameters
  • upper_limit     is the queue length in segments that triggers an over-threshold event. Values range from 8 to 16382. Default setting is 512. Segment size varies by platform.
  • lower_limit      When logging is enabled, an over-threshold interface continues generating over-threshold events until all its queues drop back below this length. Must be lower than upper_limit. Values range from 1 to 16382. Default setting is 256.
Examples
  • This command sets the upper queue-length threshold for congestion monitoring on all CPU ports to 1000 segments and the lower limit to 300 segments.

queue-monitor length fabric thresholds

The queue-monitor length fabric thresholds command sets the queue-monitor length thresholds to define “congested” on all fabric ports for purposes of LANZ reporting. If LANZ is enabled (see queue-monitor length (global configuration mode)), an over-threshold event is generated when one or more queues on a fabric interface exceed the upper threshold, and over-threshold events continue to be generated until all queue lengths on the interface drop below the lower threshold. (To log these events, use the queue-monitor length log command.) Different monitoring thresholds cannot be set for individual fabric ports.

queue-monitor length global-buffer log

The queue-monitor length global-buffer log command enables logging of global buffer over-threshold events. When logging is enabled, a log message is generated each time the contents of the global buffer exceed the upper threshold value set for the switch (see queue-monitor length global-buffer thresholds). Once the global buffer is over the threshold, additional messages are generated at a maximum rate of one per interval as long as the buffer value remains above the lower threshold for the switch.

Global buffer logging is disabled by default.

Log messages do not include buffer usage or congestion information. To view this information, use the show queue-monitor length global-buffer command.

The no queue-monitor length global-buffer log and default queue-monitor length global-buffer log commands disable global buffer logging by removing the corresponding queue-monitor length global-buffer log command from running-config. The queue-monitor length global-buffer log command with an interval value of 0 also disables global buffer logging.

queue-monitor length global-buffer thresholds

The queue-monitor length global-buffer thresholds command sets global buffer thresholds for the switch. An over-threshold event is generated when usage of the global buffer exceeds the upper threshold, and over-threshold events continue to be generated until usage drops below the lower threshold. (To log these events, use the queue-monitor length global-buffer log command.)

The no queue-monitor length global-buffer and default queue-monitor length global-buffer commands disable global buffer reporting.

queue-monitor length global-buffer

The queue-monitor length global-buffer command includes global buffer usage in LANZ reporting.

When global buffer reporting is enabled, over-threshold events are generated when global buffer usage exceeds the upper threshold. To set the threshold value, use the queue-monitor length global-buffer thresholds command. Usage data may be viewed using the show queue-monitor length global-buffer command. To view status and threshold information, use the show queue-monitor length status command.

Global buffer usage is measured in segments of 160 bytes.

The no queue-monitor length global-buffer and default queue-monitor length global-buffer commands disable global buffer usage reporting by removing the corresponding queue-monitor length global-buffer command from running-config.

queue-monitor length log

The queue-monitor length log command enables logging of queue-length over-threshold events when LANZ is enabled on the switch (see queue-monitor length (global configuration mode)). When logging is enabled, a log message is generated each time one or more queues on an interface exceed the upper threshold value for that interface (see queue-monitor length threshold (Arad/Jericho/Qumran)). Once an interface is over threshold, additional messages are generated at a maximum rate of one per interval as long as the queue length remains above the lower threshold for that interface. No syslog message is generated when queue length drops back under threshold.

Logging is disabled by default.

Log messages do not include queue length information. To view queue length information, use the show queue-monitor length command.

The queue-monitor length log command with an interval value of 0 disables event logging.

Examples
  • This command enables over-threshold logging with a minimum interval of 10 seconds between messages for a given interface.
    switch(config)# queue-monitor length log 10
  • This command disables queue-length over-threshold logging on the switch.

queue-monitor length mirror

The queue-monitor length mirror command enables LANZ mirroring. As a result, the switch is configured to automatically send congested traffic to either the CPU or an Ethernet egress interface destination, once a queue threshold is crossed. To set the destination for the mirrored traffic, use the queue-monitor length mirror destination command.

    switch(config)#

queue-monitor length mirror destination

The queue-monitor length mirror destination command results in automatically sending traffic experiencing congestion to either the CPU or an Ethernet egress interface destination, once a queue threshold is crossed. Before using this command, first enable LANZ mirroring through the command queue-monitor length mirror.

queue-monitor length notifying

The queue-monitor length notifying command enables Notifying Mode on Arad and Jericho switches. By default, LANZ operates in Polling Mode on Arad and Jericho switches. On all other switches, LANZ operates only in Notifying Mode.

When Notifying Mode is enabled, the switch provides detailed congestion information including Start, Update, and End events, rather than only polling the most congested queue in each ASIC. Notifying Mode uses both upper and lower threshold values. Both can be set with the queue-monitor length thresholds command. While a queue is congested, the maximum queue size is updated every five seconds by default; this interval can be configured using the queue-monitor length update-interval command.

The no queue-monitor length notifying and default queue-monitor length notifying commands reset LANZ to the default Polling Mode.

Command Mode

Global Configuration

Command Syntax

queue-monitor length notifying

no queue-monitor length notifying

default queue-monitor length notifying

Guidelines
  • Polling mode is available only on Arad and Jericho platform switches.
  • On Jericho platforms, LANZ will revert to Polling Mode if there are not enough counter resources to operate in Notifying Mode.
  • On Arad platforms, Notifying Mode is incompatible with SSO. Enabling SSO while Notifying Mode is enabled will cause LANZ to revert to Polling Mode.
  • On Arad platforms, Notifying Mode is not available for CPU queues. Use Polling Mode when monitoring congestion on CPU queues on Arad switches.
  • If the switch is rebooted while Notifying Mode is enabled, queue threshold values may be lost.
Examples
  • This command enables Notifying Mode on an Arad or Jericho switch.
    switch(config)# queue-monitor length notifying
    switch(config)#
  • This command disables Notifying Mode on an Arad or Jericho switch, returning LANZ to the default Polling Mode.
    switch(config)# no queue-monitor length notifying
    switch(config)#

queue-monitor length thresholds

The queue-monitor length thresholds command sets both upper and lower queue length thresholds to define “congested” on the command-mode interface for purposes of LANZ reporting. If LANZ is enabled (see queue-monitor length (global configuration mode)), an over-threshold event is generated when one or more queues on the interface exceed the upper threshold, and over-threshold events continue to be generated until all queue lengths on the interface drop below the lower threshold. (To log these events, use the queue-monitor length log command.)

Entering the no queue-monitor length command in interface configuration mode disables LANZ on the interface. Entering either the queue-monitor length command or the default queue-monitor length command in interface configuration mode enables LANZ on the interface by removing the no queue-monitor length command from the configuration.

The no queue-monitor length thresholds and default queue-monitor length thresholds commands in interface configuration mode both erase custom queue length threshold settings for the interface.

Command Mode

Interface-Ethernet Configuration

Command Syntax

queue-monitor length thresholds upper_limit lower_limit

no queue-monitor length

default queue-monitor length

Parameters
  • upper_limit     queue length in segments that triggers an over-threshold event. Must be higher than lower_limit. The minimum value is 2. The maximum is the largest number of segments which can be queued before packets are dropped, and varies based on factors including flow control state and private buffer settings. Default setting is 512.
  • lower_limit    lower queue length threshold in segments. When logging is enabled, an over-threshold interface continues generating over-threshold events until all its queues drop back below this length. Must be lower than upper_limit. Values range from 1 to 4806. Default setting is 256.

Guidelines

Queue lengths are measured in 480-byte segments on FM6000 switches, in 208-byte segments on Trident II and Tomahawk switches, in 256-byte segments on Trident 3 switches, and in bytes on Arad and Jericho switches. Default thresholds vary by platform. Both upper and lower thresholds are configurable.

Examples
  • These commands set the upper and lower queue-length thresholds on interface ethernet 5 to 300 segments and 200 segments.
    switch(config)# interface ethernet 5
    switch(config-if-Et5)# queue-monitor length thresholds 300 200
    switch(config-if-Et5)#
  • These commands reset the upper and lower queue-length thresholds on interface ethernet 5 to their default values.
    switch(config)# interface ethernet 5
    switch(config-if-Et5)# default queue-monitor length thresholds
    switch(config-if-Et5)#

queue-monitor length threshold (Arad/Jericho/Qumran)

The queue-monitor length threshold command sets the upper queue-length threshold on Arad, Jericho, and Qumran platforms to define “congested” on the command-mode interface for purposes of LANZ reporting. If LANZ is enabled (see queue-monitor length (global configuration mode)), an over-threshold event is generated when one or more queues on the interface exceed the upper threshold, and over-threshold events continue to be generated until all queue lengths on the interface drop below the lower threshold. (To log these events, use the queue-monitor length log command.)

Entering the no queue-monitor length command in interface configuration mode disables LANZ on the interface. Entering either the queue-monitor length threshold command or the default queue-monitor length threshold command enables LANZ on the interface by removing the no queue-monitor length command from the configuration.

The no queue-monitor length threshold and default queue-monitor length threshold commands erase custom queue length threshold settings for the interface.

Command Mode

Interface-Ethernet Configuration

Command Syntax

queue-monitor length threshold upper_limit

no queue-monitor length

default queue-monitor length

Parameters

upper_limit  is the queue length in bytes that triggers an over-threshold event. Values range from 40962 to 52428800 bytes. Default setting is 52428800.

Guidelines

On Arad, Jericho, and Qumran platforms, the queue length is measured in bytes. Only the upper threshold is configurable using this command, and it is set at a default value of 52428800 bytes. Both upper and lower thresholds can be set using the queue-monitor length thresholds command.

Examples
  • These commands set the upper queue-length threshold on interface ethernet 3/30 to 40000000 bytes.
    switch(config)# interface ethernet 3/30
    switch(config-if-Et3/30)# queue-monitor length threshold 40000000
    switch(config-if-Et3/30)#
  • These commands reset the upper queue-length threshold on interface ethernet 3/30 to its default value of 52428800 bytes.

show queue-monitor length status

The show queue-monitor length status command displays the current LANZ configuration for the switch and for each interface. On certain platforms, the status of global buffer monitoring and per-linecard LANZ mode are displayed.

Command Mode

EXEC Global Configuration

Command Syntax

show queue-monitor length status

Guidelines

On FM6000 platform switches, this command includes status information about global buffer monitoring.

On Arad and Jericho based linecards, if LANZ is globally enabled (using the queue-monitor length (global configuration mode) command), the command displays the monitoring mode per-linecard.

On Arad and Jericho switches, even when all linecards are configured in Notifying Mode (using the queue-monitor length notifying command), some linecards may still run LANZ in Polling Mode under the following circumstances:
  • On Arad-based linecards, LANZ falls back to Polling Mode when SSO redundancy mode is configured on the card (here, the mode is shown as “polling due to SSO configured”).
    • On Jericho-based linecards, LANZ may run in Polling Mode when many features that use the switch’s statistic capabilities have been configured (here, the mode is shown as “polling due to counters exhausted”).
Examples
  • This command displays the current LANZ configuration on an FM6000 device.
