Monitoring Management Interfaces Link State

By default, Security Group monitors the link state only on data ports (eth<X>-<YZ>).

The Management Monitor feature uses SNMP to monitor management ports on the Quantum Maestro Orchestrators.

The link state is sent to all Security Group Members.

The Management Monitor feature is disabled by default.

To enable this feature, run the "set chassis high-availability mgmt-monitoring on" command in Gaia gClish of the Security Group.

When the Management Monitor feature is enabled:

  • The monitored management ports are included in the Security Group grade mechanism, according to the predefined factors (default is 11).

  • The output of the "asg stat -v" command shows the Management ports.

    See the "Chassis Parameters > Ports > Mgmt" line in the output example below.

  • The "show interfaces" command in Gaia gClish shows the link state of management interfaces based on this feature mechanism.
