Monitor Network Protocols and Services
The Network Services card workflows provide a network-wide view into the routing, link, and virtual network protocols installed in your network. In this release, you can monitor the network-wide behavior or a single session of the BGP, EVPN, CLAG, and LLDP services. Each protocol has its own card workflow containing:
-
a small card with an overall status,
-
a medium card displaying key attributes of the protocol,
-
a large card with detailed performance statistics, some with additional tabs, and
-
full screen cards displaying attributes of all associated switches, sessions, alarms or other relevant data.

View Service Status Summary
A summary of the BGP service is available from the Network Services card workflow, including the number of nodes running the service, the number of BGP-related alarms, and a distribution of those alarms.
To view the summary, open the small BGP Service card.
For more detail, select a different size BGP Service card.
View the Distribution of Sessions and Alarms
It is useful to know the number of network nodes running the BGP protocol over a period of time, as it gives you insight into the amount of traffic associated with and breadth of use of the protocol. It is also useful to compare the number of nodes running BGP with unestablished sessions with the alarms present at the same time to determine if there is any correlation between the issues and the ability to establish a BGP session.
To view these distributions, open the medium BGP Service card.
If a visual correlation is apparent, you can dig a little deeper with the large BGP Service card tabs.
View Switches (devices?) with the Most BGP Sessions
You can view the load from BGP on your switches and hosts using the large Network Services card. This data enables you to see which switches are handling the most BGP traffic currently, validate that is what is expected based on your network design, and compare that with data from an earlier time to look for any differences.
To view switches and hosts with the most BGP sessions:
-
Open the large BGP Service card.
-
Select SWITCHES( Devices? ) WITH MOST BGP SESSIONS from the dropdown above the table.
The table content is sorted by this characteristic, listing nodes running the most BGP sessions at the top. Scroll down to view those with the fewest sessions.
To compare this data with the same data at a previous time:
-
Open another large BGP Service card.
-
Move the new card next to the original card if needed.
-
Change the time period for the data on the new card by hovering over the card and clicking
.
-
Select the time period that you want to compare with the original time.
You can now see whether there are significant differences between this time and the original time.
If the changes are unexpected, you can investigate further by looking at another time frame, determining if more nodes are now running BGP than previously, looking for changes in the topology, and so forth.
View Switches (Devices?) with the Most Unestablished BGP Sessions
You can identify switches that are experiencing difficulties establishing BGP sessions; both currently and in the past.
To view switches with the most unestablished BGP sessions:
-
Open the large BGP Service card.
-
Select SWITCHES (Devices?) WITH MOST BGP SESSIONS NOT IN ESTABLISHED STATE from the dropdown above the table.
The table content is sorted by this characteristic, listing nodes with the most unestablished BGP sessions at the top. Scroll down to view those with the fewest unestablished sessions.
Where to go next depends on what data you see, but a couple of options include:
-
Hover over the Total Nodes Not Established chart to focus on the switches the most unestablished sessions during that smaller time slice.
The table content changes to match the hovered content. Click on the chart to persist the table changes. ( how do you return to the full set of sessions? ) -
Change the time period for the data to compare with a prior time. If the same switches are consistently indicating the most unestablished sessions, you might want to look more carefully at those switches using the Switches card workflow to determine probable causes ( insufficient memory, cpu, misconfig???) . Refer to link to monitor switches .
View Switches (Devices?) with the Most BGP-related Alarms
Switches experiencing a large number of BGP alarms may indicate a configuration or performance issue that needs further investigation. You can view the switches sorted by the number of BGP alarms and then use the Switches card workflow or the Alarms card workflow to gather more information about possible causes for the alarms.
