Appendix A 173
LINKCONTROL Command
A LINKCONTROL Command
This appendix defines the fields output by the LINKCONTROL STATUS
command and its associated parameters. The LINKCONTROL STATUS
command enables you to obtain link configuration and statistical data
which you can use for monitoring and debugging the link. This
command has several parameters, each of which provides different
configuration or statistical data. The parameters described in this
appendix are as follows:
• LINKSTATE
• CONFIGURATION
• STATISTICS
• ALL
• RESET
The STATUS=DIAGSTAT command returns information intended for HP
diagnostic use. Its output is not explained in this manual. After issuing
this command you should send the output to your HP representative.
The LINKCONTROL command displays specific information relating to
the type of link that is monitored. The LINKCONTROL command can be
used to obtain information about the following types of NS 3000/iX
links:
• NS 3000/iX LAP-B links
• NS 3000/iX IEEE 802.3/Ethernet (LAN) links
• NS 3000/iX Token Ring links
• NS 3000/iX Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) links
• NS 3000/iX 100VG-AnyLAN links
• NS 3000/iX 100Base-T links
The LINKCONTROL command does not work on an X.25 link because the
card is located in the DTC. For equivalent functionality, use the
OpenView DTC manager.
