Enable one or more port health monitors

Availability: This command is available to cluster administrators at the advanced privilege level.

Description

This command enables the given port health monitors for the given IPspaces in the cluster.

Parameters

-ipspace <IPspace> - IPspace Name (privilege: advanced)

The name of the IPspace for which the specified port health monitors are enabled.

-health-monitors {l2-reachability|link-flapping|crc-errors|vswitch-link} - List of Port Health Monitors to Enable (privilege: advanced)

The port health monitors to enable. Upon enabling the l2_reachability health monitor, it runs in an "unpromoted" state. While in this state, the monitor does not mark any ports as unhealthy due to the l2_reachability health check. The monitor is promoted in the "Cluster" IPspace when the "Cluster" broadcast domain is found to have passed the l2_reachability health check. An EMS event called "vifmgr.hm.promoted" event is generated when the health monitor is promoted for the IPspace.

Examples

The following example enables the "l2_reachability" health monitor for the "Default" IPspace:

Note The status of the "link_flapping" monitor is unaffected by the command. 
cluster1::*> network options port-health-monitor show
