LINKCONTROL Command
NS 3000/iX 100VG-AnyLAN Link Statistics
default station address is determined by the specific adapter card. It is
also printed on a small label attached to a circuit board on the adapter
card. If the adapter card is changed for any reason, the Default Station
Address of this node will change.
Current Multicast Address List — The Current Multicast Addresses
field contains a list of all multicast addresses to which the adapter card
responds. The default multicast address list contains no addresses. If
no multicast addresses are enabled, the follow message is printed:
Current multicast address list is empty
Multicast addresses are configured automatically by the network
transport(s) using the adapter card. The maximum number of multicast
addresses allowed is 16. An example of multicast addresses are:
09-00-09-00-00-01 Probe address
09-00-09-00-00-02 Second probe address
09-00-09-00-00-04 DTC boot address
STATISTICS Parameter Fields
The STATISTICS parameter for 100VG-AnyLAN links displays many
fields in addition to the
LINKSTATE parameter fields. The
CONFIGURATION parameter fields are not displayed when this
parameter is used. For an example of the data that is displayed when
you issue the LINKCONTROL
linkname ;STATUS=STATISTICS command:

NOTE Some of the parameter descriptions vary according to whether the
adapter card is operating at 100Mbps or 10Mbps speed. For a 100VG
adapter card operating in 10Base-T mode, refer to 100Base-T statistics.
This command displays statistics about data transmitted and received
across the link. Many field values are summations. Over time, the
