Sorry, my mistake on the 8.02 vs N series. No, we are not releasing 8.02 on N. 7.62 is the last feature release for N.
These product lines do share the code base and I’ve become used to stating N/S/K as it is often appropriate when talking about our modular products. The mirror/tunneling mechanism requires hardware features that only Coreflow2 ASICs in S and K have. *From:* Gorecki, Mike [mailto:[email protected]] *Sent:* Wednesday, January 23, 2013 9:05 AM *To:* Enterasys Customer Mailing List *Subject:* RE: [enterasys] Mib for 1 min and 5 min average for port throughput Ernie, do you know when that 8.02code is going to be available. The ability to do remote mirrors is an awesome feature. I have a new remote site coming up with S’s and K’s and would really like to be able to leverage that feature. Also, is that code really going to be available for the N’s? I thought they were at the point where no knew features would be available.

On these flow based switches (N/S/K) we must disable hardware based switching and move the packets thru the soft path on any port were the feature is configured. This is fine for a user port but presents a bandwidth and frame rate bottle neck that may result in packet loss. You need to access how busy the port is before enabling it. Regarding configuration of RMON capture – The CLI represents the underlying MIB implementation which is a bit cryptic. I believe netsight has a user interface that makes the feature easier to manage. In N/S/K 8.02 due out soon (8.01 already if you bought our new SSAs or S140 cards) we offer a *new remote mirror capability*. I think everyone will really like this. You can configure a l2GRE tunnel that effectively attaches itself to the mirror destination port. The mirrored data can then be routed or switched to the designated tunnel destination. Configure a tunnel that ends at your wireshark PC’s IP address and the mirrored traffic starts arriving there. I need to double check a few details regarding MTU discovery on the tunneled data vs the need to jumbo enable ports. I will reply when I have those details. *From:* John Kaftan [mailto:[email protected]] *Sent:* Wednesday, January 16, 2013 10:48 AM *To:* Enterasys Customer Mailing List *Subject:* Re: [enterasys] Mib for 1 min and 5 min average for port throughput Very cool! I'm blown away. You got me looking into RMON packet capture now. I try to setup a capture and it tells me "Error creating filter". Looks like I should be able to setup a packet capture but I can't. Building a filter is pretty straight forward so I don't see what I am missing. Documentation says that NS will try to enable RMON on the switch if it is not already. I logged into the switch and don't see a command for enabling RMON but I do have RMON commands so I believe the switch is capable.

The default is a 30 minute window but it is configurable if you must have 1 and 5 minute intervals. The CLI command is "show rmon history <port#>" Regards, Dave Sillsby Escalation Support Engineer Enterasys Networks 9 Northeastern Blvd Salem, NH 03079 "There is nothing more important than our customers."

On non-Enterasys switches, this has been very helpful to locate a source port of “junk” (extreme traffic or errors) that was dragging a switch down. You find the port, disable it and work on finding the real source of the problem while most of the users are become happy quicker on a now working switch stack. Just a plug that it would still be a very useful feature that is implemented on many other brands. Don’t get me wrong, we love our Enterasys switches and there are many things done the way we like.

Once the window and port information is shown wait at least 30 seconds (refresh interval) and you will see the same information like at Cisco's "show interface". Hope this helps.

It was nice to be able to see that. I guess Cisco was just calculating that for us as it went along. Does Enterasys do this? Is there a Mib I can hit for a 5 min port utilization average? I don't see it in the CLI so I am thinking not. I did find the flexview for port utilization but it looks like it is calculating that after you open the flexview. I would like to be able to just pull that info up on the fly like when doing the "show system utilization" command. I don't want to wait 5 min to get the 5 min average. What I am doing is creating an ultimate interface flexview, i.e., one view for all of the port info I am typically looking for.
