DGS-6604 m cpu-protect safeguard cpu-protect safeguard Use this command to enable and configure the threshold for Safeguard Engine. Use the no form of this command to disable Safeguard Engine. cpu-protect safeguard [ threshold RISING-THRESHOLD FALLING-THRESHOLD ] no cpu-protect safeguard Syntax Description threshold Configure the utilization for the Safeguard Engine. RISING-THRESHOLD Set a percentage value of the rising CPU utilization which will trigger the Safeguard Engine function. Once the CPU utilization rises over the specified percentage, the Safeguard Engine mechanism will initiate. The valid range is 20 to 100. FALLINGTHRESHOLD The user can set a percentage value of the falling CPU utilization which will trigger the Safeguard Engine function to cease. Once the CPU utilization falls to the specified percentage, the Safeguard Engine mechanism will shut down. The valid range is 20 to 100. Default Command Mode Usage Guideline Example By default Safeguard_Engine is disabled. By default rising threshold of CPU utilization is 50. By default falling threshold of CPU utilization is 20. Global configuration The Safeguard Engine can help the overall operability of the device by minimizing the workload of the switch while the attack is ongoing, thus making it capable to forward essential packets over its network in a limited bandwidth. When the CPU utilization of the switch rises over configured rising threshold, it will enter exhausted mode. In exhausted mode, the switch limits the bandwidth of receiving ARP request and drop all broadcast IP packets. Regarding the way to limit the bandwidth is project dependent. You can use the command cpu-protect safeguard to configure the threshold and enable the Safeguard Engine. The command no cpu-protect safeguard is used to disable Safeguard Engine. The command no cpu-protect safeguard will reset both the rising and falling thresholds and disable the state of Safeguard Engine. The following example shows how to configure the thresholds and enable Safeguard Engine. The rising and falling threshold are 60 and 40 respectively. Switch(config)# cpu-protect safeguard threshold 60 40 CLI Reference Guide 129
