Fields in the FDDI Station Display

Field	Description
configuration	Attachment configuration for the station or concentrator.
	Values can be Thru, Isolated, Wrap_A, and Wrap_B.
connectPolicy	Bit string that represents the connection policies in effect
	on a station. How connection policies translate into bits is
	described in “fddi station connectPolicy” in this chapter.
	This value is user-defined.
ecmState	Current state of the ECM state machine.
ports	Ports numbers assigned to the FDDI module. The FDDI
	port numbers change depending on the configuration of
	your system.
remoteDisconnect	Flag indicating that the station was remotely disconnected
	from the network as a result of receiving an
	fddiSMTAction with the value of disconnect in a
	Parameter Management Frame (PMF). A station requires a
	Connect Action to rejoin the network and clear the flag.
stationID	Unique identifier for the FDDI station.
statusReporting	Whether a station generates Status Report Frames (SRFs)
	to report events and conditions to network management
	stations. This value is user-defined.
tnotify	Timer used in the Neighbor Notification protocol to
	indicate the interval of time between generation of
	Neighbor Information Frames (NIF). This value is
	user-defined.
traceMaxExp	Maximum propagation time for a trace on an FDDI
	topology. Places a lower bound on the detection time for
	an unrecovering ring.
