The interval command sets the measurement interval of a measurement instance on a DCP.
The undo interval command restores the default measurement interval of a measurement instance on a DCP.
By default, the measurement interval of a measurement instance on a DCP is 10 seconds.
| Parameter | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
| interval | Specifies the measurement interval of a measurement instance on a DCP. | The value is of the enumerated type and can be 1, 10, 60, or 600, in seconds. |
Usage Scenario
The measurement interval of a measurement instance on a DCP is the interval at which a TLP collects statistics on packets or bytes and records the timestamp of packet receiving or sending. It is also the interval at which a DCP reports statistics data to the MCP. A shorter interval indicates a higher frequency at which a DCP reports statistics data to the MCP, so the interval adjustment affects the performance of the DCP and MCP.
Considering factors such as the clock synchronization offset, maximum transmission delay, and device performance, you can run this command to change the measurement interval.
Precautions
The measurement intervals of the same measurement instances on all DCPs must be the same; otherwise, the statistics data will be empty.
The measurement interval of a measurement instance cannot be changed when the measurement instance is running. If the measurement interval of a running measurement instance is changed, the statistics reported by MCP may be inaccurate. To change the measurement interval, run the measure disable command in the IPFPM-MCP instance view to disable the measurement, and then run the measure enable command to enable the measurement.
