NS 3000/iX LAN Link Statistics
The following section describes the data that is output when you issue
the LINKCONTROL command to obtain statistics relating to NS 3000/iX
LAN Links.
LINKSTATE Parameter Fields
Figure A-5 provides an example of the data that is displayed when you
issue the LINKCONTROL linkname;STATUS=LINKSTATE command:
Figure A-5 LINKSTATE Command for LAN Link
Linkname. The Linkname field specifies the name of the link.
Linktype. The Linktype field specifies the type of link, such as LAP-B
or IEEE 802.3, that is being monitored.
Linkstate. The Linkstate field specifies the current state of the link.
The possible link states are as follows:
• Connected
• Not connected
NOTE Some of the parameter descriptions that follow vary according to
whether your LAN card is a CIO card or an NIO card.
CONFIGURATION Parameter Fields
The CONFIGURATION parameter for IEEE 802.3 links displays several
fields in addition to the LINKSTATE parameter field. Figure A-6
provides an example of the data that is displayed when you issue the
LINKCONTROL linkname;STATUS=CONFIGURATION command:
