NS 3000/iX LAP-B 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
LAP-B Links.
LINKSTATE Parameter Fields
Figure A-1 provides an example of the data that is displayed when you
issue the LINKCONTROL linkname;STATUS=LINKSTATE command:
Figure A-1 LINKSTATE Command for LAP-B Link
Linkname. The Linkname field specifies the name of the link.
Linktype. This Linktype 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:
• Not connected.
• Connected level 1.
• Connected level 2.
• Connecting level 1.
• Connecting level 2.
• Disconnecting level 1.
• Disconnecting level 2.
In this example, in Figure A-1, the current state of the LAPB link
named LAPB20 is CONNECTED LEVEL 2.
The LINKSTATE parameter fields are displayed whenever you enter the
LINKCONTROL Status command, regardless of which other
parameters are specified.
CONFIGURATION Parameter Fields
The CONFIGURATION parameter for LAP-B links displays the
LINKSTATE parameter fields and many additional fields. These
additional fields display information that is related to the link
configuration and which, except for the Cable Type parameter, are
input through the NMMGR configuration program.
Linkname: LAPB20 Linktype: LAPB Linkstate: CONNECTED LEVEL 2
