5.4.1.1 SLIP Parameters
The Serial Line Interface Protocol (SLIP) parameters appear in the first Network Statistics
Screen (Figure 5-10). These are described below.
MTU Size
The MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) Size for the SLIP port reflects the current setting
from the ports menu. The value will be between
128
and
1500
.
Bytes Received
The Bytes Received field shows the number of bytes received by the local system from the
network host.
Packets Received
The Packets Received field shows the number of packets (unit of bytes, roughly similar to an
IP datagram) received by the local system from the network host.
Packets Discarded
The Packets Discarded field shows the number of packets sent by the network host that were
discarded by the local system. Packets are discarded because they either exceed the MTU or
are not complete.
Packets Dropped - Buffer
The Packets Dropped - Buffer field shows the number of incoming packets that were dropped
because there was not enough free memory to buffer them.
Action Function
pgUp Scrolls backward through network statistics, one page at a time. If you are
on the first screen (Page 1), automatically “wraps around” back to the fourth
screen (Page 4).
pgDn Scrolls forward through network statistics, one page at a time. If you are on
Page 4, automatically “wraps around” back to Page 1.
Refresh Since the system does not update statistics automatically, the Refresh
command must be used to update information in statistics fields.
Main Returns to the TCP/IP Screen. If changes are made to settings and not
saved, you will be prompted to save or lose changes.
