Using the FRX4000, FRX6000, and SmartSwitch 1800 Hub View

Address:

For Token Ring LAN cards, this Þeld displays the locally

 

administered physical address, if one has been assigned;

 

if none has been assigned, the Þeld (labeled Local Admin

 

Address) will displays all zeros. For Ethernet cards, the

 

factory-set physical address (labeled Physical Address)

 

will be displayed.

For an FRX6000 with two LAN cards of the same type, note that the only way to

TIP distinguish between the two cards is via the physical address displayed here (since indexing is unrelated to physical position in the chassis).

Viewing Statistics

TIP

RLP Health

The Hub View can provide a variety of statistics at the RLP, serial port, and LAN card levels that give you an overview of the general health of your network connections. These statistics are described in the following sections.

The statistics windows provided via the Hub View display data using the SPMA Meters application; for more information on how to manipulate the meter display and change meter settings, see the SPMA Tools Guide.

To access RLP Health statistics:

1.In the Hub View, click on the appropriate Module Index or Module Name text box to display the RLP Menu (see Figure 2-3, page 2-6).

2.Drag down to Health, and release. The RLP Health Statistics window, Figure 2-12, will appear.
