Displaying active connections by protocol (cluster administrators only)

You can display a count of the active connections by protocol (TCP or UDP) on a node to compare the usage of protocols within the cluster.

About this task

The count of active connections by protocol is useful in the following scenarios:

  • Finding the UDP clients that are losing their connection.

    If a node is near its connection limit, UDP clients are the first to be dropped.

  • Verifying that no other protocols are being used.

Display a count of the active connections by protocol on a node by using the network connections active show-protocols command.

For more information about this command, see the man page.

Example

cluster-1::> network connections active show-protocols
Node     Vserver Name  Protocol   Count                            
-------  ------------  ---------  ------

         vs0           UDP            19                           
         Cluster       TCP            11                           
node1
