Checking resource usage

Syntax:


show policy resources

After applying service policies to an interface, use the show policy resources command to verify the amount of additional resources used and the amount of resources that are still available on the switch. Classifier-based service policies (such as QoS or mirroring) share the same hardware resources with other software features, such as ACLs, virus throttling, management VLAN, globally configured QoS policies, MAC-based mirroring policies, and so on.

Use the displayed information to decide whether to re-prioritize current resource usage by reconfiguring or disabling software features to free the resources reserved for less important features. For a detailed explanation of the information displayed with the show policy resources command, see the ArubaOS-Switch Management and Configuration Guide.

Viewing policy resources

The show policy resources command output displays the number of hardware resources (rules, meters, and application port ranges) used by classifier-based QoS and mirroring policies that are currently applied to interfaces on the switch and other software features.

Viewing statistics for a policy

Only the active redirects (matches, ignores, etc.) are displayed when executing the show statistics command.
