Network Router Bandwidth

[costanza2k1]

Hi all,

I'm trying to set up some triggers for Bandwidth utilization on a Cisco Router. I'd like for it to give a warning at 80% and critical at 90%. I don't know what these values are, what do the 5s and 6s represent? The M?


Are the Bandwidth Monitoring Defaults 20% Warning when the circuit is 20% utilized? I may be over analyzing this.

That is the In/Out bandwidth limit for warning, and critical thresholds:

Code: Select all

-w, --warning
    Warning threshold pair <incoming>,<outgoing>
 -c, --critical
    Critical threshold pair <incoming>,<outgoing>

The M stands for your data level, either B,K,M or G. Which in turn are B=bps; K=Kbps; M=Mbps; G=Gbps. As denoted by the dropdowns after the wizard runs it's scan.

Ok cool, so the '5' is 5 mb and 6 is 6mb? Correct?

Yep! I believe those would be the correct numbers, an easy way to test would be to look at that service's reported bandwidth from the check, if it is above 5 it should be in a warning state.

you guys are too awesome! Thanks as always!

No problem, I'm going to lock this one up.
