Configuration
Connections
SNMP Main Connection
This connector uses a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) connection and requires the following input during element creation:
SNMP CONNECTION:
- IP address/host: The polling IP of the device.
SNMP Settings:
- IP port: The IP port of the device.
- Get community string: The community string used when reading values from the device, by default public.
- Set community string: The community string used when setting values on the device, by default private.
HTTP Connection (added in range 1.1.0.x)
This connector uses an HTTP connection and requires the following input during element creation:
HTTP CONNECTION:
- IP address/host: The polling IP of the device.
- IP port: The IP port of the device, by default 80.
Usage (all ranges except 1.1.0.x)
General
This page displays the following general information: System Name, System Description, System Location, System Contact, System Up Time and other general parameters.
On this page, you can also enable the polling of tables.
Detailed Interface Info
This page displays the Detailed Interface Info table. In this table, the columns Tx/Rx Bitrate daily, weekly and monthly display the amount of data.
The Rx/Tx errors rate can be retrieved within a defined interval of time.
All counters can be reset using the Reset All Counters button and this can be rolled back with the Undo button.
Detailed Interface Info - Rx
This page displays the Detailed Interface Info - Rx table.
Detailed Interface Info - Tx
This page displays the Detailed Interface Info - Tx table.
IP Routing Info
This page displays the IP Routing and ARP tables.
Usage (1.1.0.x only)
General
This page displays the following general information: System Name, System Description, System Location, System Contact, System Up Time and other general parameters.
On this page, you can also enable the polling of tables.
Detailed Interface Info
This page displays the Detailed Interface Info table. In this table, the columns Tx/Rx Bitrate daily, weekly and monthly contain the amount of data.
The Rx/Tx errors rate can be retrieved within a defined interval of time.
The Interface Counter Telemetry Connection State displays the current status of the Interface Counter telemetry session. The status will display Connected if the connector is currently listening to the telemetry session.
Telemetry Settings
This page displays parameters used for the configuration of the telemetry settings to subscribe to the Mellanox Interface Counter telemetry sessions:
The TCP Listener IP Address and Data Source Port indicate the IP address and port to create the TCP network client for listening to device telemetry data.
The Interface Polling Mode is used to switch the polling mode between SNMP and Telemetry for the Detailed Interface Info table, Detailed Interface Info - RX table, and Detailed Interface Info - TX table.
The Interface Detail Debug parameter allows you to enable debugging mode for telemetry. When this is enabled, the connector will log incoming telemetry data in the element's logging.
To start listening or subscribing to the Interface Counter telemetry session:
Configure the client IP address and port on the Mellanox device.
Configure the TCP Listener IP and Data Source Port parameters in the element.
The values of both parameters must be the same as what is configured in the Mellanox device.
Switch the interface polling mode to Telemetry.
