Example: SHOW PORT COUNTERS Display
The following example shows how to generate a port counters display:
Local> SHOW PORT 1 COUNTERS
Port 1: Joe Smith Server: Servername
Seconds Since Zeroed: 1182768 Local Accesses: 17
Framing Errors: 0 Remote Accesses: 0
Parity Errors: 0 Overrun Errors: 0
SHOW/MONITOR PORT COUNTERS Display Fields
The following table describes the information in the port counters display:
Field Description
Port n Number n of the port. The text that follows the number of the
port is any associated user name or the name of the port as
established for the port characteristic NAME, if no user name
was supplied.
Server Specifies a 1- to 16-character name for the access server.
Seconds Since
Zeroed
Number of seconds since the counters were last set to zero.
Framing Errors Number of bytes received at the port with illegally formatted
frames. If this value accumulates to greater than about 20
errors per day on any one port, you might have port line
problems. Refer to the troubleshooting procedures in the
Network Access Software Problem Solving manual.
Parity Errors Number of bytes received with parity errors at the port. If this
value accumulates to greater than about 20 errors per day on
any one port, you might have port line problems. Refer to the
troubleshooting procedures in the Network Access Server
Problem Solving manual.
Overrun Errors Number of characters lost because the access server input
buffers were full. If this value accumulates more than 10
errors daily on any one port, you might have flow control
problems. If the port device supports flow control, ensure that
the access server flow control and the flow control in the
hardware for that device are set the same way. To check the
FLOW CONTROL setting, use the SHOW PORT
CHARACTERISTICS command.
