Configuring the Upper and Lower Alarm Thresholds for Multicast Protocol Entries
Context
After the upper and lower alarm thresholds for multicast protocol entries are configured on a device, the device can generate alarms and clear alarms for multicast protocol entries based on the alarm thresholds. When the proportion of existing multicast protocol entries to the maximum number reaches the upper alarm threshold, the device generates an alarm. When the proportion falls below the lower alarm threshold, the device generates a clear alarm. Multicast protocol entry alarms and clear alarms facilitate network operation and maintenance.
Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring the upper and lower alarm thresholds for multicast protocol entries, complete the following tasks:
- Configure basic Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) or Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) functions.
- Configure basic Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) functions.
- Enable the multicast management information base (MIB) trap function.
- Configuring the Upper and Lower Alarm Thresholds for IGMP/MLD Entries
- Configuring the Upper and Lower Alarm Thresholds for Multicast Entry Usage on a User-Side IGMP/MLD Device
- Configuring the Upper and Lower Alarm Thresholds for Multicast Forwarding Entries
- Configuring the Upper and Lower Alarm Thresholds for PIM Entries
- Verifying the Configuration of the Upper and Lower Alarm Thresholds for Multicast Protocol Entries
