Several special tools are available to you for use with X.25
network connections. X25CHECK
allows you to verify connectivity between two nodes on an X.25 network.
X25STAT allows
you to monitor the status and statistics for X.25 NIs.
You can run both X25CHECK
and X25STAT standalone
or from within NETTOOL.
Running them from NETTOOL
allows you to access help information about the tools. See Chapter 6 “Using NETTOOL ” for instructions
on running these programs from within NETTOOL.
To Verify X.25 Connections |
 |
Use X25CHECK
to create connections to remote X.25 nodes and verify their response.
X25CHECK/X25SERVR
is actually a pair of programs. X25CHECK
runs on the local node which X25SERVR
runs on the remote node. The two work together to diagnose conditions
between the nodes.
X25CHECK
runs at level 3 on the local node. It tries to establish a virtual
circuit with the remote node. After the virtual circuit is established,
X25CHECK sends
the same message to the remote node five times. The program then
measures the time period between sending the message and receiving
a response from the remote node.
See Chapter 6 “Using NETTOOL ” for
instructions on running X25CHECK.
To Monitor X.25 Status |
|
Use X25STAT
to monitor status and statistics for X.25 connections. The program
will display the contents of the internal X.25 tables, including:
Global information that is relevant
to all connections.
Socket table information used for level 3 access.
Connection table information.
Facilities table information.
X25STAT
displays the information only once. If you want to update the information
display you must run the tool again.
