LINKCONTROL Command
NS 3000/iX IEEE 802.5 Link Statistics
Current Station Address. The Current Station Address field is a
display of the six (6) byte address to which the node is configured to
respond. This address is used whenever frames are sent to the network
media. The default station address is used unless it is overridden in the
NMMGR link configuration screen. If this field is changed, then the
station address of this node is changed. Make sure that you note this
new address in the system manager log.
Default Station Address. The Default Station Address field is the
default value for the Current Station Address described above. The
default station address is determined by the specific Token Ring card.
Functional Address Mask. Bits set in this 4 octet field indicate
functional addresses to which the Token Ring card may respond.
STATISTICS Parameter Fields
The STATISTICS parameter for IEEE 802.5 links displays many fields
in addition to the LINKSTATE parameter fields. The CONFIGURATION
parameter fields are not displayed when this parameter is used. Figure
A-10 provides an example of the data that is displayed when you issue
the LINKCONTROL linkname;STATUS=STATISTICS command:
Figure A-10 IEEE 802.5 STATISTICS Parameter Fields
This command displays statistics about data transmitted across the
link. All field values are summations. Over time, the values in these
fields reach their maximum possible value. When this occurs, these
fields can only be reset manually.
Transmits no error. The Transmits no error field specifies the
number of frames that were successfully transmitted onto the medium.
The maximum value of this 32-bit field is 4294967295.
Receives no error. This field specifies the number of frames that were
successfully received over the medium. The maximum value of this
32-bit field is 4294967295.
Transmit byte count. This field specifies the transmit byte count.
Receive byte count. This field specifies the receive byte count.
Transmit errors. The Transmit errors field specifies the number of
transmission errors sent across the link. The value in this field specifies
the number of frames which, due to errors on the link, were never
transmitted.
