NAMEfddi — Fiber Distributed Data Interface Tools DESCRIPTIONThis manual entry provides general information on the HP-UX FDDI (Fiber
Distributed Data Interface) link tools. Tools for HSC and EISA FDDI- fddiif
Display FDDI driver operating statistics in real-time. - fddilink
Display FDDI interface and network characteristics.
Tools for PCI FDDI- fddipciadmin
Display FDDI interface, driver and network statistics and characteristics.
Tools for HP-PB FDDI and S700 Built-in FDDI- fddiinit
Initialize FDDI network interface; connect to FDDI network. - fddinet
Display logical FDDI ring map information. - fddistat
Display status information for the FDDI interface. - fddistop
Stop and reset the FDDI interface.
General Link Tools- ifconfig
Configure or display IP interface information. - ioscan
Scan system for devices, display hardware path, class and description. - lanadmin
Display link information, RFC 1213 MIB II statistics, reset the interface card,
perform card self-test. - lanscan
Scan system for LAN devices, display hardware path, station address
(canonical format), instance number, hardware state, interface name,
IP interface state, Network Management ID. - linkloop
Verify LAN connectivity with a link-level test frame.
Requires the Physical Point of Attachment number (PPA) of the local interface
and station address of the remote station in canonical format.
The PPA is the numeric portion of the
interface name. For example, the interface lan2 has the PPA 2.
Use
lanscan
on the remote system to get the remote station address in canonical format. - netfmt
Format network trace and log files created with the nettl utility
(see below). FDDI entity names are FDDI (HP-PB and S700 built-in FDDI),
EISA_FDDI, HSC_FDDI and PCI_FDDI. - netstat
Show network statistics for IP interfaces and upper-layer protocols. - nettl
Start/stop network tracing and logging. FDDI entity names are FDDI
(HP-PB and S700 built-in FDDI), EISA_FDDI, HSC_FDDI and PCI_FDDI. - ping
Verify IP/ICMP connectivity to remote system. - syslogd
Read and log system messages (the FDDI drivers log system messages using
syslog routines). - what
Get version identification information. Use
what /stand/vmunix
to determine if the correct FDDI driver has been installed, according to
the following list: fddi (for HP-PB FDDI), fddi0 (for EISA FDDI),
fddi2 (for S700 built-in FDDI), fddi3 (for HSC FDDI),
fddi4 (for PCI FDDI).
FDDI station addresses are represented as a series of hexadecimal digits
using canonical format, or wire or "native" format.
The canonical format uses Least Significant Bit (LSB) order.
Wire or "native" format uses Most Significant Bit (MSB) order.
Most HP-UX FDDI and network utilities use canonical format
(fddilink
and
fddiif
are two exceptions).
The
fddinet
and
fddistat
commands display the addresses in canonical format by default and have a
-n
option to display the addresses in "native" (wire) format. SEE ALSOfddiinit(1M),
