The `save` keyword allows you to save the traffic dump to a file. -The `unlimited` keyword is used to specify that an unlimited number of packets -can be captured (by default, 1,000 packets are captured and you're returned to -the VyOS command prompt). - -Interface Bandwith -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -to take a quick view on the used bandwith of an interface use the ``monitor bandwith`` command - -.. code-block:: sh - - vyos@vyos:~$ monitor bandwidth interface eth0 - -show the following: - -.. code-block:: sh - - eth0 bmon 3.5 - Interfaces │ RX bps pps %│ TX bps pps % - >eth0 │ 141B 2 │ 272B 1 - ───────────────────────────────┴───────────────────────┴──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── - B (RX Bytes/second) - 198.00 .|....|..................................................... - 165.00 .|....|..................................................... - 132.00 ||..|.|..................................................... - 99.00 ||..|.|..................................................... - 66.00 |||||||..................................................... - 33.00 |||||||..................................................... - 1 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 - KiB (TX Bytes/second) - 3.67 ......|..................................................... - 3.06 ......|..................................................... - 2.45 ......|..................................................... - 1.84 ......|..................................................... - 1.22 ......|..................................................... - 0.61 :::::||..................................................... - 1 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 - - ───────────────────────────────────────── Press d to enable detailed statistics ──────────────────────────────────────── - ─────────────────────────────────────── Press i to enable additional information ─────────────────────────────────────── - Wed Apr 3 14:46:59 2019 Press ? for help - -| Press ``d`` for more detailed informations or ``i`` for additional information. -| To exit press ``q`` and than ``y`` - -Interface performance -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -To take a look on the network bandwith between two nodes, the ``monitor bandwidth-test`` command is used to run iperf. - -.. code-block:: sh - - vyos@vyos:~$ monitor bandwidth-test - Possible completions: - accept Wait for bandwidth test connections (port TCP/5001) - initiate Initiate a bandwidth test - -| The ``accept`` command open a listen iperf server on TCP Port 5001 -| The ``initiate`` command conncet to this server. - -.. code-block:: sh - - vyos@vyos:~$ monitor bandwidth-test initiate - Possible completions: - Initiate a bandwidth test to specified host (port TCP/5001) - - - - -Monitor command -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -The ``monitor command`` command allows you to repeatedly run a command to view a continuously refreshed output. -The command is run and output every 2 seconds, allowing you to monitor the output continuously without having to re-run the command.

The BIOS loads Grub (or isolinux for the Live CD) -2. Grub then starts the Linux boot and loads the Linux Kernel ``/boot/vmlinuz`` -3. Kernel Launches Systemd ``/lib/systemd/systemd`` -4. Systemd loads the VyOS service file ``/lib/systemd/system/vyos-router.service`` -5. The service file launches the VyOS router init script ``/usr/libexec/vyos/init/vyos-router`` - this is part of the `vyatta-cfg`_ Debian package - - 1. Starts FRR_ - successor to `GNU Zebra`_ and `Quagga`_ - - 2. Initialises the boot configuration file - copies over ``config.boot.default`` if there is no configuration - 3. Runs the configuration migration, if the configuration is for an older version of VyOS - 4. Runs The pre-config script, if there is one ``/config/scripts/vyos-preconfig-bootup.script`` - 5. If the config file was upgraded, runs any post upgrade scripts ``/config/scripts/post-upgrade.d`` - 6. Starts **rl-system** and **firewall** - 7. Mounts the ``/boot`` partition - 8. The boot configuration file is then applied by ``/opt/vyatta/sbin/vyatta-boot-config-loader /opt/vyatta/etc/config/config.boot`` - - 1. The config loader script writes log entries to ``/var/log/vyatta-config-loader.log`` - - 10. Runs ``telinit q`` to tell the init system to reload ``/etc/inittab`` - 11. Finally it runs the post-config script ``/config/scripts/vyos-postconfig-bootup.script`` - -.. _Quagga: http://www.quagga.net/ -.. _`GNU Zebra`: https://www.gnu.org/software/zebra/ -.. _FRR: https://frrouting.org/ -.. _vyatta-cfg: https://github.com/vyos/vyatta-cfg -.. _systemd: _https://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/ -.. _`Debian Jessie`: https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/ -.. _mtr: http://www.bitwizard.nl/mtr/ -.. _tshark: https://www.wireshark.org/docs/man-pages/tshark.html -.. _`PCAP filter expressions`: http://www.tcpdump.org/manpages/pcap-filter.7.html -- cgit v1.2.3
