RMON history is available for the first 10 ports after boot up. To add
history for other ports, use Intel Device View or a third-party RMON
compliant browser to delete the history-control table row for a port
already in the table.
The total number of entries in the history control table must be less than
or equal to 20. By default, each port has two entries, one for 30-second
sample intervals, and one for 30-minute sample intervals.
There are no command line commands to enable or disable the
RMON agent. A graphical network management interface is
available through Intel Device View and third-party RMON
compliant browsers.
NVRAM Backup
As part of the switch’s fault tolerant structure, non-volatile RAM
(NVRAM) is used to store configuration information for the switch.
Use the NVRAM Backup privileged command savenv to back up this
configuration information.
If the CP carrier module has failed, use the loadnv command to
restore the system parameters from the backup file located on the
TFTP server to the replacement CP carrier module.
Note
To configure the TFTP server’s operation, refer to the TFTP
server software documentation.
