Monitoring the Interface Protocol

To monitor the interface protocol on the SMF, use the following CLI command:

monitor protocol { interface interface_name [ capture-duration duration  | gr-instancegr_instance | pcacp yes | | ] | list [ | ] }  

NOTES:

  • interface interface_name —Specify the interface name on which PCAP is captured. This CLI allows the configuration of multiple interface names in a single CLI command.

  • capture-duration duration —Specify the duration in seconds during which pcap is captured. The default is 300 seconds (5 minutes).

  • The configured interface names can be retrieved using the show endpoint CLI command.

  • gr-instance gr_instance_id —Specify the GR instance ID. The instance ID 1 denotes the local instance ID.

  • pcap yes —Configure this option to enable PCAP file generation. By default, this option is disabled.

Important

The monitor protocol command in Exec mode is restricted based on pod's CPU utilization configured through monitor protocol cpu-limit threshold_percentage command in the Global Configuration mode.

The monitor protocol CLI can be run simultaneously on multiple terminals. Also, the interface interface_name CLI allows the configuration of multiple endpoint names in a single CLI command.

For example:

monitor protocol interface sbi,N4:209.165.200.241:8805,gtpc capture-duration 1000
