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
The following is an example of the data that is displayed when you
issue the LINKCONTROL
linkname ;STATUS=LINKSTATE command:
Linkname: SYSLINK Linktype: IEEE802.3 Linkstate: CONNECTED
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. The following is an
example of the data that is displayed when you issue the LINKCONTROL
linkname ;STATUS=CONFIGURATION command:
Physical Path: 4.6
Inbound Buffer Size: 1536 (CIO only)
Inbound Number of Buffers: 64 (CIO only)
Inbound Buffers Available: 41 (CIO only)
Current Station Address: 08-00-09-02-3D-9B
Default Station Address: 08-00-09-02-3D-9B
Current Receive Filter: bad(0) multi(1) broad(1) any(0)
Current Multicast Addresses: 09-00-09-00-00-01
Physical Path — The Physical Path field displays the current physical
path for the LAN card as specified in the NMMGR configuration file.
Inbound Buffer Size — The Inbound Buffer Size field displays the
current size of the receive buffer that are configured for this system
