Network Management and Monitoring

  • 1:N port mirroring for sending a source packet to multiple Layer 2 destinations (QFX5120-32C, QFX5120-48T, QFX5120-48Y, QFX5120-48YM, QFX5200, and QFX5210 )—You can use the 1:N port mirroring feature to mirror traffic to multiple Layer 2 destinations. This feature requires either one or both of the following configurations:

    • A port-mirroring instance that is based on a firewall filter. Use the configuration statements in the [edit forwarding-options port-mirroring instance] hierarchy.

    • A native analyzer. Use the configuration statements in the [edit forwarding-options analyzer] hierarchy.

    For both the configuration methods, you must also configure next-hop groups with a group type of layer-2 to direct the mirrored packets to their destinations.

    [See 1:N Port Mirroring to Multiple Destinations on Switches.]

  • Enhancement to hardware resource threshold monitoring for capacity planning (QFX5120-32C, QFX5120-48T, QFX5120-48Y, and QFX5120-48YM)—You can monitor additional hardware resources for capacity planning by using the hardware resource threshold monitoring feature. Use the system packet-forwarding-options hw-resource-monitor resource-list configuration statement at the [edit] hierarchy level to create a list of hardware resources that you want to monitor. Once configured, periodic resource monitoring occurs at the polling interval you set.

    [See Configure Hardware Resource Threshold Monitoring for Capacity Planning and resource-list (Network Management).]

  • IPv6 collector support for sFlow technology with EVPN-VXLAN (EX4100-48MP, EX4100-H-12MP, EX4100-H-24MP, EX4100-H-24F, EX4100-H-24F-DC, EX4100-24MP, EX4100-48P, EX4100-48T, EX4100-24P, EX4100-24T, EX4100-F-48P, EX4100-F-24P, EX4100-F-48T, EX4100-F-24T, EX4100-F-12P, EX4100-F-12T, EX4400-24MP, EX4400-24P, EX4400-24T, EX4400-24X, EX4400-48F, EX4400-48MP, EX4400-48MXP, EX4400-48XP, EX4400-48P, EX4400-48T, EX4650, QFX5120-32C, QFX5120-48T, QFX5120-48Y, and QFX5120-48YM)—You can use IPv6 collector for sFlow technology to monitor known multicast traffic in EVPN-VXLAN deployments. The system supports both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic and includes management interface support for IPv6 collectors. With this functionality, you can efficiently monitor and analyze network performance across different interfaces.
