This command enables latency monitoring feature in the Sensor, and also specifies the action to be performed if high latency is observed in the Sensor.
The following are the actions that can be specified in this command:
alert-only(generates an alert when a high latency is observed in the Sensor)put-in-layer2(generates an alert and also forwards the traffic to layer2).
These generated alerts can be seen in the Attack Log.
Syntax:
latency-monitor enable action <alert-only | put-in-layer2>
This command should be executed with a parameter value, else the command is treated as invalid.
Note
If
layer2-forwardis enabled, it is necessary to set thelayer2 modeto be on. Otherwise thelayer2-forwardaction does not get executed.
Example:
