LINKCONTROL Command
NS 3000/iX IEEE 802.5/Token Ring Link Statistics
station address of this node is changed. Make sure that you note this
new address in the system manager log.
Default Station Address — The Default Station Address field is the
default value for the Current Station Address described above. The
default station address is determined by the specific Token Ring card.
Functional Address Mask — Bits set in this 4 octet field indicate
functional addresses to which the Token Ring card may respond.
STATISTICS Parameter Fields
The STATISTICS parameter for IEEE 802.5 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:
Physical Path: 48 Data Rate: 16 Mbps
Transmits no error: 0 Receives no error: 0
Transmit byte count: 0 Receive byte count: 0
Transmit errors: 0 Receive errors: 0
This command displays statistics about data transmitted across the
link. All field values 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.
The maximum value of this 32-bit field is 4294967295.
Receives no error — This field specifies the number of frames that
were successfully received over the medium. The maximum value of
this 32-bit field is 4294967295.
Transmit byte count — This field specifies the transmit byte count.
Receive byte count — This field specifies the receive byte count.
Transmit errors — The Transmit errors field specifies the number of
transmission errors sent across the link. The value in this field specifies
the number of frames which, due to errors on the link, were never
transmitted.
Receive errors — The Receive errors field specifies the number of
transmission errors that were received from the link. The value in this
field specifies the number of frames which were received, but were
corrupted due to errors on the link. This value includes all frames
which were discarded because of the setting of the current receive filter.
