Setting a Utilization Threshold

To set a utilization threshold, enter Global Configuration mode and use the following command:

set utilization high-threshold {cpu | FIRE | FORE} <utilization-percent>

The default setting for the utilization threshold is 95 percent.

Table�167:�set utilization high-threshold Command parameters�
Parameter
Description
cpu
Sets the high threshold for CPU utilization.
100% CPU utilization is the total capacity of the supervisor module to forward slow path traffic. When 100% utilization is reached, the performance of the switch may degrade.
FIRE
Sets the high threshold for utilization of the forwarding engines on 80-series media modules.
100% FIRE utilization is the total capacity of the forwarding engines on 80-series media modules to forward in band traffic. When 100% utilization is reached, the performance of the switch may degrade.
FORE
Sets the high threshold for utilization of the forwarding engine on the supervisor module.
100% FORE utilization is the total capacity of the supervisor module to forward out-of-band traffic. When 100% utilization is reached, the performance of the switch may degrade.
<utilization-percent>
The high threshold at which you want the switch to log an event in the event log. Enter a value from 50 through 99. The default setting is 95.

Clearing the utilization threshold resets it to 95 percent, its default setting. To clear the utilization threshold, enter Global Configuration mode and use the following command:

clear utilization high-threshold {cpu | FIRE | FORE} <utilization-percent>
