CLI Commands

The CLI commands are equivalent to the payload examples displayed in the pane on the right. Click the DME tab in the top-left corner of the right pane to view the JSON payload. Click the YANG tab to view the XML payload.

ip pps threshold unicast-forward 17623 45

Verifying a DME Configuration

The following table contains the distinguished name (DN) for each managed object (MO) in the DME payload. Issue a GET request using the DN to verify the configuration was posted or to get information about the configured properties of a particular object.

MO	DN
ipv4Inst	sys/ipv4/inst
ipv4IpPacketsPerSecond	sys/ipv4/inst/pps-unicastForward

ipv4IpPacketsPerSecond Properties

The following table contains information about the ipv4IpPacketsPerSecond properties in the DME payload. For more information about the properties and MOs, see the NX-API DME Model Reference linked in the Related Documentation section below.

Property Name	Data Type	Description	Values
ipPpsThresholdLogInterval	scalar:Uint32	Packets per second log interval	RANGE: [1 , 60] DEFAULT: 1
ipPpsThresholdSize	scalar:Uint32	Packets per second size	RANGE: [1 , 30000]
ipPpsType	ipv4:IpPpsTypes (scalar:Enum8)	Packets per second type	SELECTION: 0 - unicastForward DEFAULT: unicastForward
