Obtaining Status and Statistical Information
You can obtain general and detailed Frame Relay statistical information on all WSX boards in
the switch, a single WSX board, individual ports, and individual virtual circuits. The frstatus
command is used to provide this information. This information includes types of physical
interface, access rate of the Frame Relay line, and errors. In addition, the frstatus command
can display the number of frames received and transmitted categorized by frame type (i.e.,
compressed/uncompressed, Ethernet, IP, IPX, BPDU).
Information on All Boards in a Switch
To obtain status information on all WSX boards in a switch, you enter the frstatus command
without any parameters as follows:
frstatus
This command displays a screen similar to the following:
Frame Relay Status for the Chassis:
Admin/ VCs
Oper Intf Speed Active/
Slot/Port Status Type BPS Clocking Inactive
=============== ==== ======== ======== ========
4/1 UP/UP V35DCE 2048000 Split 2/0
4/2 DN/DN *NONE* EXT CLK External 0/0
4/3 UP/DN *NONE* EXT CLK External 0/0
4/4 UP/UP 232DCE 56000 Internal 19/1
Only ports configured as frame relay (see the wpm command in Chapter 49) will be displayed
in this screen. Each row in the table corresponds to a physical port on a WSX board in the
switch. The following sections describe the columns shown in this table:
Slot/Port
The first number in this column is the slot in the switch where this WSX is installed. The
second number is the port number on the WSX.
Admin/Oper Status
This column shows the Administrative and Operational Status of this WSX port. The status
indicator before the slash refers to the Administrative Status. If UP, then the port has been
enabled and can transmit data as long as its Operational Status is also UP. If the Administra-
tive Status is DN, then the port will not pass data even if its physical connection is good.
The status indicator after the slash refers to the Operational Status. If UP, then the port is
capable of passing data as long as it has been logically enabled at the Administrative level. If
DN, then the port cannot pass data because of a problem in the physical connection (e.g.,
cable disconnected, WSX could not detect cable type) or because the port is Administratively
Down.
