LINKCONTROL Command
NS 3000/iX IEEE 802.5 Link Statistics
NS 3000/iX IEEE 802.5 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
IEEE 802.5 Links.
LINKSTATE Parameter Fields
Figure A-8 provides an example of the data that is displayed when you
issue the LINKCONTROL linkname;STATUS=LINKSTATE command:
Figure A-8 LINKSTATE Command for IEEE 802.5 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 802.5, 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
• Retry
CONFIGURATION Parameter Fields
The CONFIGURATION parameter for IEEE 802.5 links displays several
fields in addition to the LINKSTATE parameter field. Figure A-9
provides an example of the data that is displayed when you issue the
LINKCONTROL linkname;STATUS=CONFIGURATION command:
Figure A-9 IEEE 802.5 CONFIGURATION Parameter Output
Physical Path. The Physical Path field displays the current physical
path for the Token Ring card as specified in the NMMGR configuration
file.
Data Rate. The data rate that the card is configured to operate at. This
is set to either 4 or 16 Mbps by a jumper on the card.
Linkname: TR1 Linktype: IEEE8025 Linkstate: CONNECTED
Physical Path: 48 Data Rate: 16 Mbps
