NAME

fddi - Fiber Distributed Data Interface Tools

DESCRIPTION

This manual entry provides general information on the HP-UX FDDI (Fiber Distributed Data Interface)

link tools.

Tools for HSC and EISA FDDI

fddiif Display FDDI driver operating statistics in real-time.

fddilink Display FDDI interface and network characteristics.

Tools for PCI FDDI

fddipciadmin Display FDDI interface, driver and network statistics and characteristics.

Tools for HP-PB FDDI and S700 Built-in FDDI

fddiinit Initialize FDDI network interface; connect to FDDI network.

fddinet Display logical FDDI ring map information.

fddistat Display status information for the FDDI interface.

fddistop Stop and reset the FDDI interface.

General Link Tools

ifconfig Conﬁgure or display IP interface information.

ioscan Scan system for devices, display hardware path, class and description.

lanadmin Display link information, RFC 1213 MIB II statistics, reset the interface card, perform card

self-test.

lanscan Scan system for LAN devices, display hardware path, station address (canonical format),

instance number, hardware state, interface name, IP interface state, Network Management

ID.

linkloop Verify LAN connectivity with a link-level test frame. Requires the Physical Point of Attach-

ment number (PPA) of the local interface and station address of the remote station in

canonical format. The PPA is the numeric portion of the interface name. For example, the

interface lan2 has the PPA 2. Use lanscan on the remote system to get the remote sta-

tion address in canonical format.

netfmt Format network trace and log ﬁles created with the nettl utility (see below). FDDI entity

names are FDDI (HP-PB and S700 built-in FDDI), EISA_FDDI, HSC_FDDI and

PCI_FDDI.

netstat Show network statistics for IP interfaces and upper-layer protocols.

nettl Start/stop network tracing and logging. FDDI entity names are FDDI (HP-PB and S700

built-in FDDI), EISA_FDDI, HSC_FDDI and PCI_FDDI.

ping Verify IP/ICMP connectivity to remote system.

syslogd Read and log system messages (the FDDI drivers log system messages using syslog rou-

tines).

what Get version identiﬁcation information. Use what /stand/vmunix

to determine if the

correct FDDI driver has been installed, according to the following list:

fddi (for HP-PB FDDI), fddi0 (for EISA FDDI), fddi2 (for S700 built-in FDDI), fddi3 (for

HSC FDDI), fddi4 (for PCI FDDI).

FDDI station addresses are represented as a series of hexadecimal digits using canonical format, or wire

("native") format. The canonical format uses Least Signiﬁcant Bit (LSB) order. Wire ("native") format uses

Most Signiﬁcant Bit (MSB) order. Most HP-UX FDDI and network utilities use canonical format (

fddi-

link

and fddiif are two exceptions). The fddinet and fddistat commands display the addresses

in canonical format by default and have a -n option to display the addresses in "native" (wire) format.
