Statistics

Using the Reverse MAC Button

The Reverse MAC button, available in the Ring and Station Statistics window, enables you to toggle between Token Ring and Ethernet MAC address formats. Token Ring MAC addresses (the default address format in this window) are displayed in the reverse bit order of Ethernet MAC addresses. The Ethernet MAC format is the more recognizable format; therefore, the Reverse MAC button can be used to enable the network manager to recognize the MAC addresses more easily.

To use the Reverse MAC button:

1.Highlight the station whose MAC address format you would like to change.

2.Click mouse button 1 on ; the station’s MAC address format will be changed.

3.Repeat the process to toggle back to the original Token Ring MAC address format.

NOTE

When you toggle the MAC address format, the neighbor and ring port addresses are not affected; they will always be displayed in Token Ring format.

Refreshing the Station List

Once it is displayed, the information in the station list is static, and will not reﬂect changes to the ring. You can update the station list by clicking mouse button 1 on , located at the bottom of the window. Using the Refresh button will display the current conﬁguration of your ring.

Monitoring Ring and Station Statistics

Ring and Station Statistics can be viewed in pie chart, graph, or meter form. The ring statistics will reﬂect the activity of the entire ring, while the station statistics will reﬂect only the station that is highlighted when you choose the chart, graph, or meter you wish to display.

There are ﬁve pre-formatted pie charts you can display to view statistics speciﬁc to the ring as a whole: general statistics, protocols, frame sizes, isolating errors, and non-isolating errors. For viewing statistics speciﬁc to an individual station, three pre-formatted charts are available: general statistics, isolating errors, and non-isolating errors.

You can customize ring-speciﬁc or station-speciﬁc meters by using 29 available ring-related variables, or 13 available station-related variables. With SPMA, you can run up to 25 meters simultaneously.
