Link Detection Group - CLI

In this section:

Link Detection Group Overview

The Link Detection Group (LDG) object allows you to group interfaces and associated Link Monitors together and track link verification failures within the group. A LDG is configured with a unique name and a failover threshold. The LDG tracks the number of link verification failures that have occurred among the Link Monitors configured.

Note

Up to 100 Link Detection Groups are configurable on the

Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"

system.

In addition to a Failover Threshold, a Link Detection Group can also be configured with values for the verifyTimer, responseTimer, reattemptTimer and retries. These values are used for each Link Monitor belonging to the group, unless that Link Monitor is configured with its own unique values for these fields.

Note

Link detection failure alarms are generated by Link Verification Manager (LVM) and are raised only when LDG is configured. NRS generated alarms are raised regardless of whether LDG is configured.

Note

If no LDG is configured on the management ports, the

Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"

allows manual switch-overs.

Link Monitoring

The Link Monitor object allows you to monitor a link for a specific interface and belongs to a link detection group.

A new Link Monitor is created for each interface that is configured for link verification. The Link Monitor is provided with a destination to use for link verification as well as the Link Detection Group to which it belongs. The Link Monitor is responsible for pinging that destination, processing responses and determining when the interface should be considered failed. It reports such failures to its Link Detection Group.

As a best practice, configure link monitors for the active and standby

Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"

with different destinations to avoid a failure scenario where the active and standby

Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"

fail back and forth due to link detection failures caused by loss of communication with a single destination.

The active and standby

Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"

should be connected to different physical hardware (that is, switches) to avoid a single point of failure.

Each Link Monitor configured can include unique values for the verifyTimer, responseTimer, reattemptTimer, and maximumRetries. If configured, these values override the values configured for the Link Detection Group.

Each Link Monitor will set a timer while waiting to perform its next verification. The timeout for this timer is based on the configured Verify Timer value. When a ping is in progress and the Link Monitor is awaiting the response from the destination, a timer is set based on the configured responseTimer value. When the response times out and the Link Monitor retries, the reattemptTimer value is used while waiting for the response.

When the number of consecutive failures reaches the maximumRetries value, the Link Monitor considers the link verification as failed and reports this to its Link Detection Group.

While in the failed state, the Link Monitor will continue to attempt to ping the destination so that the failed condition can eventually clear. This is done at the rate specified by the verifyTimer.

The Link Monitor also supports a NULL destination (0.0.0.0), which disables the link verification for that interface. The interface is still considered failed if there is a hardware failure.

For link verification best practices, refer to Link Verification Configuration page.

Note

If the LDG takes precedence over Link Monitoring, delete the timers from the Link Monitor configuration.

Command Parameters

Link Detection Group Parameters

Parameter	Length/Range	Description
`linkDetectionGroup`	N/A	`<LDG name>` – Name of the Link Detection Group.
`ceName`	1-23	The name of the computing element (CE) that hosts this link detection group. NOTE: 'ceName' is not the system name. For an HA system, link detection needs to be setup on both CEs.
`linkMonitor`	N/A	`<link monitor name>` – Name of the link monitor that monitors a link to a destination for a specific interface. For parameter details, see Link Monitor Parameters table below.
`reattemptTimer`	300-10000	Time (in milliseconds) to wait for a link verification reattempt. (default = 1000).
`responseTimer`	500-10000	Time (in milliseconds) to wait for a link verification attempt. (default = 500).
`retries`	1-10	The number of retries before link verification is considered failed. (default = 3).
`state`	N/A	Administrative state of the Link Detection Group. `enabled` – LDG is turned on and active `disabled` (default) – LDG is not in use
`threshold`	0-10	The number of link monitor failures that will trigger this link detection group to declare a failure and attempt a switchover to the standby server (default = 2). A value of "0" disables fault reporting and the switchover is attempted. When a nonzero threshold value is specified for a standby module, the number of link failures present must be less than that value in order for that module to be activated by a switchover. When threshold is greater the number of link failures, a switchover is not attempted. The following threshold settings are recommended: Non-management interfaces: Set threshold to "1" for Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables" platforms. Set threshold to "2" for Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables" and Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables" platforms. Management interfaces: Set threshold to "1" for Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables" or when dual management subnets are deployed. Set threshold to "2" under most circumstances.
`type`	N/A	The interface type supported by this link detection group. `ip` (default) `mgmt` – indicates types of interfaces that are monitored with this Link Detection Group.
`verifyTimer`	1000-60000	Time interval between link verification attempts representing the frequency at which an ICMP echo request is sent (default = 1000).

To configure link detection for the management ports:

Note

By default the management port state is 'UP' therefore, when management LDG is not configured, there is no automatic switchover.

Note

ipInterfaceGroup and ipInterface should not be configured for mgmt0 and mgmt1 ports. You can configure mgmt0 and mgmt1 ports with mgmtIpInterfaceGroup and mgmtIpInterface.
