NS3000/iX Operations & Maintenance Reference Manual

Displaying Status Information 

Using the various commands and utilities available to you, you can obtain
status displays on nearly every aspect of NS3000/iX. Status displays can
help you identify the entities of your network that are currently active
or in use.  They can also help you diagnose deficiencies in the
configured resources that are required for network traffic, such as
transmission buffers.

The LINKCONTROL STATUS, NETCONTROL STATUS, and NSCONTROL STATUS commands
allow you to display status information about the link, network
transport, and services, respectively.  The STATUS tool available as part
of NETTOOL allows you to display status of the network interfaces and
their associated links.

To Display Link Status 

You can display various levels of status information for a link on the
local node using the LINKCONTROL STATUS command.

To display all available status information about a link on the local
node called SYSLINK, enter the following command:

LINKCONTROL SYSLINK;STATUS=All

See chapter 7 for more information on using LINKCONTROL. See appendix A
for information on the LINKCONTROL status displays.

You can also use NETTOOL STATUS to display link status.  See chapter 6
for information on running NETTOOL STATUS.

To Display Network Transport Status 

You can display network transport status for a specific network interface
or protocol configured on the local node using the netcontrol status
command.  You can also use this command to display only general transport
information.  In all cases, if the entity is not active, NS3000/iX will
display a warning message telling you that the entity is inactive.

To Display General Transport Status.   

To display the status of the general transport, enter the following
command at the MPE prompt:

NETCONTROL STATUS

To Display Status of a NET.   

To display the status of a NET configured as LAN1, enter the following
command at the MPE prompt:

NETCONTROL STATUS;NET=LAN1

To Display Status of an NI.   

To display the status of an NI configured as LAN1, enter the following
command at the MPE prompt:

NETCONTROL STATUS;NI=LAN1

To Display Protocol Status.   

You can display the status of a general protocol (TCP or PXP), or of a
network interface protocol (PROBE, ARP, IP, DIAL or X25) by using the
PROT= keyword.

To display the status of the ARP protocol on the LAN1 NI, you would enter
the following command at the MPE prompt:

NETCONTROL STATUS;NI=LAN1;PROT=ARP

To Display Network Services 

For the Network Services, you can display the status of users, services,
or servers.

To Display Active Services.   

To display the services that are currently enabled on the local node,
enter the following command at the MPE prompt:

NSCONTROL STATUS=SERVICES

To Display Active Users.   

To display the number of active users of the Network Services on the
local node, enter the command below at the MPE prompt:

NSCONTROL STATUS=USERS

To Display Servers.   

The servers are the processes that are available to control the network
services.  You may need to alter the minimum or maximum number of servers
available.

To see status information about the available servers, enter the command
below at the MPE prompt:

NSCONTROL STATUS=SERVERS
