Using the FDDI Status Utility

Using the FDDI Status Utility

This appendix gives an overview of fddistat, the FDDI status utility, Cisco's monitoring tool for the CDDI and FDDI EISA SCO adapters. This utility is a standalone application that works in conjunction with the FDDI driver. It supports the SMT Management Information Base (MIB).

Invoking the fddistat Utility

The fddistat utility was loaded into your system with the EISA SCO adapter driver software. (See the chapter,"Installing the Adapter Software.")

The format of the fddistat command is as follows:

fddistat [-f fddiNum][-l] [-p] [-h]

where:

-f fddiNum specifies the FDDI interface number of the EISA SCO adapter for which you are gathering statistics. The default is 0, or the first EISA SCO adapter.

Using the optional -l, -p, and -h parameters will change the amount of information displayed when using the fddistat command.

-l indicates that the utility will display statistics in long form. The default is short. The long form displays a snapshot of statistics in the FDDI MIBs.

-p perpetually displays the short form of information. It provides continual updates to a basic set of data, which is useful for monitoring the adapters. This option will continue to display until you press DEL.

-h displays all FDDI status utility options.

fddistat--Short Form

The short form of the fddistat command provides you with most of the statistics you need to monitor the FDDI EISA SCO adapter.

Figure B-1 gives an example of the fddistat short form without additional usage commands.

The definitions of the short form fddistat command parameters are as follows:


Note If any adapter internal diagnostics test fails, enter the command fddistat -l to see which test failed and the error code.

fddistat--Long Form

The long form of the fddistat command displays the basic statistics, and also statistics from several other groups including the following:

The parameters in these groups conform to the groupings in the Workgroup Director network management software. Refer to the Workgroup Director User Guide or the FDDI MIB, the SMT specification, and the MAC specification to learn more about these parameters.

fddistat--Perpetual Form

The perpetual form of the fddistat command displays the short form information and continually updates the counter until you press DEL. (See Figure B-2.)
