LINKCONTROL Command
NS 3000/iX 100Base-T Link Statistics
NS 3000/iX 100Base-T 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
100Base-T 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: PCI 100BT Linkstate: CONNECTED
Linkname — The Likname field specifies the name of the link.
Linktype — The Linktype field specifies the type of link, such as
LAP-B, 100BT, or IEEE 802.3, that is being monitored, and the type of
I/O bus it is installed on (will be preceded with “PCI” for PCI 100Base-T
links).
Linkstate — The Linkstate field specifies the current state of the link.
The possible link states are as follows:
• Connected
• Not connected
CONFIGURATION Parameter Fields
The CONFIGURATION parameter for 100Base-T links displays several
fields in addition to the LINKSTATE parameter field. This is an example
of the data that is displayed when you issue the LINKCONTROL
linkname ;STATUS=CONFIGURATION command:
Physical Path: 10/4/8
Current Station Address: 08-00-09-DD-A2-5C
Default Station Address: 08-00-09-DD-A2-5C
Current Multicast Addresses:
99-00-09-00-00-01 09-00-09-00-00-03 09-00-09-00-00-04 09-00-09-00-00-06
Physical Path — The Physical Path field displays the current physical
path for the adapter card as specified in the NMCONFIG configuration
file.
NOTE On PCI 100Base-T links, the physical path generally has more
components and is a “longer” path (e.g., 1/12/0/0). Otherwise, output for
PCI links is the same as HP-PB.
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
