8-12 CHAPTER 8: ADMINISTERING FDDI RESOURCES
Table 8-4 describes the information provided for the FDDI MAC.
Table 8-4 Description of Fields for FDDI MAC Attributes
Field Description
currentPath Path on which this MAC is currently located (primary or
secondary)
downstream MAC address of this MAC’s downstream neighbor
downstreamType Indicates the PC type of this MAC’s downstream neighbor
dupAddrTest Pass or fail test for a duplicate address
duplicateAddr Indicates whether this address is duplicated on the FDDI ring
errorCount Number of SMT MAC errors.
Errors The sum of errorCount, lateCount, lostCount, and tvxExpiredCount
(summary report only)
frameCount Number of frames received by this MAC
frameErrCond Condition is active when the frameErrorRatio is greater than or
equal to frameErrorThresh
frameErrorRatio Ratio of the number lostCount plus the frameErrorCount divided
by the frameCount plus lostCount
frameErrThresh Threshold for determining when a MAC condition report will be
generated
lateCount Number of token rotation timer expirations since this MAC last
received a token
llcAvailable Indicates whether LLC frames can be sent or received on this MAC
llcService Allows LLC frames to be sent and received on the MAC that is
enabled
lostCount Number of frames and tokens lost by this MAC during reception
noRxBuffers Number of frames discarded because no buffer space was
available
notCopiedCond Condition is active when the notCopiedRatio is greater than or
equal to notCopiedThresh
notCopiedCount Number of frames that were addressed to this MAC but were not
copied into its receive buffers
notCopiedRatio Ratio of the notCopiedCount divided by copiedCount plus the
notCopiedCount
notCopiedThresh Threshold for determining when a MAC condition report will be
generated
