threshold tcp

threshold tcp

Defines the alarm thresholds for TCP tests on any cell or edge that is assigned this alarm template.

Syntax

threshold tcp {(delay <milliseconds>) | (cerror <percent>) | (inter-arrival-time <milliseconds>)}

no threshold tcp delay | cerror | inter-arrival-time

Arguments

Table 61: threshold tcp arguments
Argument	Description
delay <milliseconds>	The delay threshold in milliseconds for TCP tests. The valid range is 0 to 780,000 Delay is how long (in milliseconds) the connection takes to complete.
cerror <percent>	The cerror threshold as a percentage of cerror for TCP tests. The valid range is 0 to 100. Cerror is the success or failure of the connection.
inter-arrival-time <milliseconds>	The inter-arrival-time threshold in milliseconds for TCP tests. The valid range is 0 to 2147483647. Inter arrival time is the time between tests, and can be used to trigger an alarm when a link is down or a set of endpoints becomes isolated.

Prerequisites

Must be in Chatter Alarm Configuration mode. For information on how to access this mode, see Accessing and exiting command modes.

Occurrence

Use once.

Default

Table 62: Default settings for threshold tcp command
Argument	Default value
delay threshold	300 milliseconds
cerror threshold	1 percent
inter arrival time threshold	864 seconds

Description

Defines the alarm thresholds for TCP tests on any cell or edge that is assigned this alarm template. Thresholds are defined for each variable measured by Chatter for the ping test.

These threshold values are absolute thresholds and used to generate an alarm if absolute alarms are enabled. The threshold values are also used for coloring the absolute topology.

The no command restores the default value for the specified threshold.
