LINKCONTROL Command
NS 3000/iX LAN Link Statistics
Receive Filter x_pckts() (NIO card only) — The Receive Filter
x_pckts() field is either enabled (1) or disabled (0). When enabled, any
XID or TEST commands sent to DSAP 0 will be responded to by the
driver, and not the card.
Current Multicast Addresses — The Current Multicast Addresses
field contains a list of all multicast addresses to which the LAN card
responds. The default multicast address list contains no addresses. If
no multicast addresses are specified, the following message is printed:
Current multicast address list is empty
Multicast addresses are configured through NMMGR. The maximum
number of multicast addresses allowed is 16. The meanings of the
following specific multicast addresses are as follows:
09-00-09-00-00-01 Probe address
09-00-09-00-00-02 Second probe address
09-00-09-00-00-03 LAN analysis (LANDAD)
09-00-09-00-00-04 DTC boot address
STATISTICS Parameter Fields
The STATISTICS parameter for IEEE 802.3 links displays many fields
in addition to the
LINKSTATE parameter fields. The CONFIGURATION
parameter fields are not displayed when this parameter is used. The
following is an example of the data that is displayed when you issue the
LINKCONTROL linkname;STATUS=STATISTICS command:
Transmits no error 1 Receives no error 343
Transmits error 0 Receives error 0
Out of TX bufs 0 Out of Rx bufs 0
Transmits deferred 0 Carrier losses 0
Transmits 1 retry 0 Reflectometer 0
Transmits >1 retry 0 CRC errors 0
Transmits 16 collisions 0 Whole byte errors 0
Transmits late collision 0 Size range errors 0
802 chip restarts 0 Frame losses 0
Heartbeat losses 0
This command displays statistics about data transmitted across the
link. All field values, except for those under Receive Filter, are
summations. Over time, the values in these fields reach their maximum
possible value. When this occurs, these fields can only be reset
manually.
Transmits no error — The Transmits no error field specifies the
number of frames that were successfully transmitted onto the medium.
This includes the number of frames that were successfully transmitted
on the first attempt, as well as frames that were successfully
