• The EE monitors for each port (from 0 to MAX_PORT)
• The frame monitors for each port
EE monitors get preference saving to flash memory when the total number of monitors in a switch
exceeds 512. If the total number of monitors per port or switch exceeds the limit, then you will receive
an error message indicating the count has been exceeded and that some monitors have been
discarded.
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter one of the following commands, depending on the action you want to perform:
• To save the current EE monitor and frame monitor configuration settings into nonvolatile
memory, use the perfCfgSave command.
switch:admin> perfcfgsave
This will overwrite previously saved Performance Monitoring
settings in FLASH. Do you want to continue? (yes, y, no, n): [no] y
Please wait ...
Performance monitoring configuration saved in FLASH.
• To restore a saved monitor configuration, use the perfCfgRestore command, for example, to
restore the original performance monitor configuration after making several changes.
switch:admin> perfcfgrestore
This will overwrite current Performance Monitoring settings in RAM. Do you want
to continue? (yes, y, no, n): [no] y
Please wait... Performance monitoring configuration restored from FLASH ROM.
• To clear the previously saved performance monitoring configuration settings from nonvolatile
memory, use the perfCfgClear command.
switch:admin> perfcfgclear
This will clear Performance Monitoring settings in FLASH. The RAM settings won’t
change. Do you want to continue? (yes, y, no, n): [no] y
Please wait... Committing configuration...done.
Performance Monitoring configuration cleared from FLASH.
Performance data collection
Data collected through Advanced Performance Monitoring is deleted when the switch is rebooted.
Using the Brocade Network Advisor Enterprise Edition, you can store performance data persistently.
For details on this feature, refer to the Brocade Network Advisor User Manual.
