Default Parameters for EthernetAggrTest

This test periodically checks the status of each link aggregated within every link aggregation group and instantly alerts administrators when a link goes down or is in an unknown state. This way, the test enables administrators to ensure that all links in an aggregate group are available at all times for providing bandwidth resources and handling the network load.

This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the EthernetAggrTest.

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

• By default, the CONNECT USING parameter is set to sudo. This indicates that, by default, this test uses the sudo command to connect to the Solaris virtual server and pull out metrics. If you want the test to use the pfexec command instead, select the pfexec option from the CONNECT USING drop-down.

• Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing default configurations of tests, the values with “$” indicate variables that will be replaced by the eG system according to the specific server being managed - for instance, $hostName is the host/nickname of the target host, $port is the port number of the server being monitored. E.g., for a server xyz:80, $hostName will be changed automatically by the eG manager to “xyz” and $port will be changed to “80” when configuring a test.
