[SOLVED] Nortel 8600 Link Load

[nightwatch]

Is there an easy way of checking the load on a link, mlt, ist?
Thanks

You can graph the MLT utilization from Java Device Manager (under MLT select Graph).

From the CLI you can issue the following command (substitute 1 for the MLTID);

ERS-8610:5# monitor mlt stats interface utilization 1

                         MLT INTERFACE UTILIZATION
Monitor Interval: 5sec | Monitor Duration: 300sec       MON JUN 14 18:31:06 2010

MLT_ID     IN_OCTETS  OUT_OCTETS IN_UTIL(%) OUT_UTIL(%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1          9671842667 11358841781 0          0


Good Luck!

i was also looking for something like this:

Router# show platform hardware capacity fabric Switch Fabric Resources

  Bus utilization: current is 100%, peak was 100% at 12:34 12mar45

  Fabric utilization:      ingress                     egress

      Module channel speed current peak                current peak

       1      0        20G   100%  100% 12:34 12mar45  100%    100% 12:34 12mar45

       1      1        20G   12%    80% 12:34 12mar45   12%     80% 12:34 12mar45

       4      0        20G   12%    80% 12:34 12mar45   12%     80% 12:34 12mar45

      13      0         8G   12%    80% 12:34 12mar45   12%     80% 12:34 12mar45

You'll get utilization information for the period you run the command, but there's no previous or trending information available. You would need to rely on an external SNMP based performance management system to trend that for you.

Here's what the command looks like in the ERS 5500 series switch;

ERS-5530#show mlt utilization 1

Trunk   Traffic Type   Port   Last 5 Minutes  Last 30 Minutes   Last Hour
-----   ------------   ----   --------------  ---------------   ---------
  1     Rx and Tx        13     < 0.1%          < 0.1%            < 0.1%
  1     Rx               13       0.0%             0.0%             0.0%
  1     Tx               13     < 0.1%          < 0.1%            < 0.1%
  1     Rx and Tx        14       0.0%             0.0%             0.0%
  1     Rx               14       0.0%             0.0%             0.0%
  1     Tx               14       0.0%             0.0%             0.0%

Cheers!
