dampening
To view the link dampening configuration on an interface, use the show config command.
To view dampening information on all or specific dampened interfaces, use the show interfaces dampening command
from EXEC Privilege mode.
To view a dampening summary for the entire system, use the show interfaces dampening summary command from
EXEC Privilege mode.
Clearing Dampening Counters

Configure MTU Size on an Interface
In Dell EMC Networking OS, Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is defined as the entire Ethernet packet (Ethernet header +
FCS + payload).
The following table lists the range for each transmission media.
Transmission
Media
MTU Range (in bytes)
Ethernet
592-9216 = link MTU
576-9398 = IP MTU
The IP MTU automatically configures.
Link Bundle Monitoring
Monitoring linked LAG bundles allows traffic distribution amounts in a link to be monitored for unfair distribution at any given
time. A threshold of 60% is defined as an acceptable amount of traffic on a member link. Links are monitored in 15-second
intervals for three consecutive instances. Any deviation within that time sends Syslog and an alarm event generates. When the
deviation clears, another Syslog sends and a clear alarm event generates.
The link bundle utilization is calculated as the total bandwidth of all links divided by the total bytes-per-second of all links. If
you enable monitoring, the utilization calculation is performed when the utilization of the link-bundle (not a link within a bundle)
exceeds 60%.
To enable and view link bundle monitoring, use the following commands.
Enable link bundle monitoring.
