LINKCONTROL Command
NS 3000/iX LAPBMUX Link Statistics
NS 3000/iX LAPBMUX 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
LAPBMUX 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: PLSPLNK7 Linktype: PCI LAPBMUX Linkstate: CONNECTED LEVEL 2
Linkname — The Likname field specifies the name of the link.
Linktype — The Linktype field specifies the type of link, such as
LAP-B, LAPBMUX, 100BT, or IEEE 802.3, that is being monitored, and
the type of I/O bus it is on (will be preceded with “PCI” for PCI
LAPBMUX links).
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 LINKSTATE Command for LAP-B Link, the current
state of the LAPB link named PLAPLNK7 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 LAPBMUX 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
LAPBMUX CONFIGURATION Parameter Output provides an example of the
data that is displayed when you issue the LINKCONTROL
