diagnostic monitor action
diagnostic monitor action
To direct the action of the switch when it detects a packet memory failure, use the diagnostic monitor
action command.
diagnostic monitor action [conservative | normal | aggressive]
Syntax Description
Defaults normal mode
Command Modes Global configuration mode
Command History
Usage Guidelines Use the conservative keyword when you do not want the switch to reboot so that the problem can be
fixed.
Use the aggressive keyword when you have redundant supervisor engines, or when network-level
redundancy has been provided.
Examples This example shows how to configure the switch to initiate an RPR switchover when an ongoing failure
occurs:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch (config)# diagnostic monitor action normal

conservative (Optional) The bootup SRAM diagnostics log all failures and remove all
affected buffers from the hardware operation. The ongoing SRAM
diagnostics will log events, but will take no other action.
normal (Optional) The SRAM diagnostics operate as in conservative mode,
except that an ongoing failure resets the supervisor engine. This action
allows for the bootup tests to map out the affected memory.
aggressive (Optional) The SRAM diagnostics operate as in normal mode, except
that a bootup failure only logs failures and does not allow the supervisor
engine to come online. This action allows for either a redundant
supervisor engine or network-level redundancy to take over.
