Monitoring Physical Interfaces & IP VRFs on Solace Appliance Event Brokers

You can use show commands to monitor and validate physical interface and IP VRF configurations and status on Solace Appliance Event Brokers.

Viewing Interface Information

To view the current configuration parameters and traffic statistics for the physical interfaces on appliance event brokers, enter the following User EXEC command:

solace> show interface [<phy-interface>] [detail | rates]

Where:

<phy-interface> is an ASCII string specifying the physical Ethernet interface port or LAG to be displayed.

Valid values may include:

  • eth<port>, for example, eth1
  • <cartridge>/<slot>/<port>, for example, 1/1/8
  • <cartridge>/<slot>/lag<N>, for example, 1/1/lag1
  • There is no default value.

detail asks to show detailed information on the physical interfaces.

rates asks to show egress throughput rate statistics, in bytes per second, for each Network Acceleration Blade (NAB) interface. The output reports the Current Rate (1 sec sample) and the 60 second smoothed rate Avg. Rate (60 sec interval). This keyword does not apply to LAG or management interfaces and is available only on appliance event brokers running version 10.25.24 and later.

Viewing IP VRF Information

To view the configuration and status of the Management or Message Backbone VRF within appliance event brokers, enter the following User EXEC command:

solace> show ip vrf [<name> [route]]

Where:

<name> is the name of the VRF object, either management or msg-backbone. Entering no name displays all VRF objects configured on the system.

route asks to show detailed IP routing information for the specified VRF object.

When no parameters are entered, one line of output for each VRF object configured on the system is displayed. Each line contains the VRF object name and the number of interfaces currently attached to the VRF object. When a specific VRF object name is specified, the output displayed is the IP routing table for that interface and the list of interfaces currently attached to that VRF object.
