CiscoCRCCheck

Path: /model/vendors/cisco/cisco_crc_check.mod

This model monitors the CRC errors on Cisco router interfaces. A poll checks to see if an increase in the number of CRC errors is occurring. If the threshold is exceeded, then a faster poll continues to check the interface for two more intervals. If the interface continues to exhibit CRC errors, NerveCenter sends a 6009 Inform to the platform.

Two additional alarms, CiscoCRCCheck_LogToDB and CiscoCRCCheck_LogToFile, are part of this model. When you enable these alarms, they perform a Log To Database or a Log to File alarm action, respectively, on each transition so that reports on CRC errors can be produced.
