Reviewing and Changing Operating Properties for NIC (SRC CLI)

Before you configure a NIC configuration scenario, review the default operating properties and change values as needed. Operating properties are configured for a slot.

The following topics provide procedures for reviewing and changing operating properties for NIC with the SRC CLI:

  1. Reviewing the Default NIC Operating Properties
  2. Changing NIC Operating Properties

Reviewing the Default NIC Operating Properties

To review the default NIC operating properties:

  1. From configuration mode, access the configuration statement that specifies the configuration for the NIC on a slot.
      [edit]
      user@host# edit slot number nic

    For example:

      [edit]
      user@host# edit slot 0 nic
  2. Run the show command. 
    [edit slot 0 nic]
user@host# show
base-dn o=umc;
java-runtime-environment ../jre/bin/java;
java-heap-size 128m;
snmp-agent;
hostname DemoHost;
initial {
  dynamic-dn "ou=dynamicConfiguration, ou=Configuration, o=Management,<base>";
  directory-connection {
    url ldap://127.0.0.1:389/;
    backup-urls ;
    principal cn=nic,ou=Components,o=Operators,<base>;
    credentials ********;
    timeout 10;
    check-interval 60;
  }
  directory-eventing {
    eventing;
    signature-dn <base>;
    polling-interval 15;
    event-base-dn <base>;
    dispatcher-pool-size 1;
  }
  static-dn "l=OnePop,l=NIC, ou=staticConfiguration, ou=Configuration, o=Manage
ment,<base>";
}

Changing NIC Operating Properties


In most cases you can
use the default NIC operating properties. Change the default properties
if needed for your environment.


To change NIC operating properties:


    

  1. From configuration mode, access the configuration statement
that specifies the configuration for the NIC on a slot.
      


      

      [edit]
      

      user@host# edit slot number nic

      

      

      
      

    

    For example:
    

      


      

      [edit]
      

      user@host# edit slot 0 nic

      

      

      
      

    

    2. 

  2. (Optional) If you store data in the directory in a location
other than the default, o=umc, change this value.
      


      

      [edit slot 0 nic]
      

      user@host# set base-dn  base-dn 

      

      
      

    

    3. 

  3. (Optional) Configure the garbage collection functionality
of the Java Virtual Machine.
      


      

      [edit slot 0 nic]
      

      user@host# set java-garbage-collection-options  java-garbage-collection-options 

      

      

      
      

    

    4. 

  4. (Optional) If you determine that additional memory is
needed, change the maximum memory size available to the (Java Runtime
Environment) JRE.
      


      

      [edit slot 0 nic]
      

      user@host# set java-heap-size  java-heap-size 

      

      

      
      

    

    By default, the JRE can allocate 128
MB. Set to a value lower than the available physical memory to avoid
low performance because of disk swapping.
    

    If you use an SAE plug-in agent, we recommend that
you increase the JVM max heap to a value in the range 400–500
MB.
    

    If you need help to determine the amount of memory
needed, contact Juniper Networks Customer Services and Support.
    

    5. 

  5. (Optional) Specify the name of the NIC scenario that you
want to configure. The default scenario is OnePop. 
      


      

      [edit slot 0 nic]
      

      user@host# set scenario-name  scenario-name 

      

      
      

    

    6. 

  6. (Optional) Enable viewing of SNMP counters through an
SNMP browser.
      


      

      [edit slot 0 nic]
      

      user@host# set snmp-agent

      

      
      

    

    7. 

  7. (Optional) Change the name of the NIC host. Use the default
name of the NIC host configured for a NIC scenario. In most cases,
the NIC host name is DemoHost.
      


      

      [edit slot 0 nic]
      

      user@host# set hostname  hostname 

      

      
      

    

    8. 

  8. (Optional) Change the initial properties.
    See Configuring Basic Local Properties.
