Associating the track module with a detection
module
Associating track with NQA
An NQA test group periodically detects whether a destination is reachable, or whether the TCP
connection to a TCP server can be set up. An NQA test group functions as follows when it is associated
with a track entry:
If the consecutive failure times exceed the specified threshold, the NQA module tells the track
module that the tracked object is unreachable. Then the track module sets the track entry to the
Negative state.
If the specified threshold is not reached, the NQA module tells the track module that the tracked
object functions normally. The track module then sets the track entry to the Positive state.
For more information about NQA, see the Network Management and Monitoring Configuration Guide.
Follow these steps to associate track with NQA:
Create a track entry, associate it
with an NQA reaction entry, and
specify the delay time for the
track module to notify the
associated application module
when the track entry status
changes
track track-entry-number nqa entry
admin-name operation-tag
reaction item-number [ delay {
negative negative-time | positive
positive-time } * ]
Required
No track entry is created by
default.
NOTE:
If the specified NQA test group or the reaction entry in the track entry does not exist, the status of the
track entry is Invalid.
Associating track with interface management
The interface management module monitors the physical status or network-layer protocol status of the
interface. The interface management module functions as follows when it is associated with a track entry:
When the physical or network-layer protocol status of the interface changes to up, the interface
management module informs the track module of the change and the track module sets the track
entry to Positive.
When the physical or network-layer protocol status of the interface changes to down, the interface
management module informs the track module of the change and the track module sets the track
entry to Negative.
