b interface show -j

"b interface show -j" will also display internal interfaces (0.0, 0.1, 4.0 and 4.1) between SCCP and Host subsystem.

 

hi,

 

yeah, I understand now.

 

thank you for your message.

 

I search for the "-j" parameter in the LTM CLI manuals but I didn't find any documentation about that "-j".

 

where did you get information about "-j" ?

 

 

thank you,

 

 

Sako.

I saw this command in qkview file. I compared when running "b interface show" with and without "-j".

 

 

When you "bigstart restart tmm", you'll see "sccp bcm56xxd: ........: Link: 4.1 is UP/DOWN" message in /var/log/ltm. so I come to a conclusion that this interfaces are related between SCCP and Host subsystem links.

 

 

oh,thank you !!! I understand now..

 

I hope one day F5 will have documentation on these options ( like "-j").

 

I found information, nowhere neither on AskF5 nor in the manuals.

 

 

Actually, I'm writing a script and now I'm trying to get the statistics about the interfaces at the CLI.

 

"b show interfaces -j" shows the data in a formatted way with [M]bits and [G]bits, I want to get the unformatted data (normalization of the counts).

 

 

This is possible with the GUI, you display the interfaces statistics by

 

selecting [unformatted] for [Data Format] .

 

 

Do you know how to get the unformatted data in CLI ? or do you know in which directory or files the statistics reside on the LTM ?

 

 

your help is appreciated.

 

 

 

Try the attached workaround. It's written in Perl and accessing the interface statistic using SNMP.

 
 Sample: 
 [root@bigip]  ./intStat [] 
 1.1 
 PktsIn = 3,723,888 
 BytesIn = 312,887,039 
 PktsOut = 1,432,006 
 BytesOut = 95,249,909 
 McastIn = 2,492,233 
 McastOut = 777 
 ErrorsIn = 0 
 ErrorsOut = 0 
 DropsIn = 2,500,715 
 DropsOut = 0 
 Collisions = 0 
 1.2 
 PktsIn = 0 
 BytesIn = 0 
 PktsOut = 0 
 BytesOut = 0 
 McastIn = 0 
 McastOut = 0 
 ErrorsIn = 0 
 ErrorsOut = 0 
 DropsIn = 0 
 DropsOut = 0 
 Collisions = 0 
 

Dont forget to make it executable, eg. chmod a+rx ./intStat

 

hwidjaja,

 

 

oh,thank you !!!!!!!

 

the perl script works perfectly !!!!

 

 

I have another concern, if you don't mind.

 

do you know how to get MIB or OID for internal links(0.1,0,2 etc..) ?

 

I mean the links between sccp and the host-system...

 

 

I wasnot able to get MID/OID for internal interfaces that are displayed in "b interface show -j" .

 

 

is it possible to get OID for these internal links ?

 

 

if you know, your help will be appreciated..

 

if you don't ,,no problems..you have helped me a lot already.

 

 

thanks.

My pleasure .... Unfortunately, I also could not find the OIDs for internal interfaces.

 

 

You might need to open a case with F5 Support whether or not there are OIDs for Internal Interfaces. I'll let you know if I could find a way to get the statistics for Internal Interfaces.

yeah, I will open a case with F5 Support about the OID of internal interfaces.

 

 

oh,I notice something about the shell script.

 

It doesn't display statistics about the "mgmt" interface.(Management port).

 

maybe we should modify to the script.

 

 

I'm having a look at it too.

 

 

thanks,

 

Let me know if you have difficulty displaying 'mgmt' interface. I'll update the perl script.

yeah,I have some diffculty 'mgmt' interface.

 

I am trying to update it but I was not able to write the right regular expression to display the 'mgmt' interface.

 

 

would you please update the perl script if you can ?

 

 

thank you.
