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
