4. Verify the Network Links.

3.Select and examine the individual statistics screen for each routing and bridging service enabled in the configuration. Verify that the enabled services are exchanging frames or packets as expected. The information listed should match the information on the site survey worksheet and network maps. The statistics should reflect the circuit groups, network interfaces, and traffic patterns expected for the router configuration and the devices attached to the network.

The following statistics screens are available. (Service statistics screens are listed on the Statistics Screen menu for only those services that have been enabled in the configuration.)

Circuit Statistics: This screen provides summary data for each individual circuit, including how many bytes and frames were received and transmitted, and how many frames contained errors.

Per Second Statistics: This screen provides summary data for traffic on a per-second basis for each circuit on the router.

Bridge Statistics: This screen summarizes bridge traffic volume for each circuit group. It shows the number of frames that were received, forwarded, flooded, and dropped.

DoD IP Router Statistics: This screen provides summary data for each IP network interface. The interfaces are identified by their IP addresses. The screen shows the number of IP datagrams received, forwarded, delivered to upper layer protocols, and dropped.

DECnet Router Statistics: This screen summarizes DECnet traffic volume for each circuit group. It shows the number of data packets received, forwarded, and dropped. The statistics do not represent traffic generated by DECnet routing layer control messages, such as Hello and routing messages.

IPX Router Statistics: This screen provides summary data for each IPX network interface. The interfaces are identified by the IPX network numbers of the networks they are connected to. It shows the number of datagrams received, forwarded, delivered to upper layer protocols, and dropped.

Xerox (XNS) Router Statistics: This screen provides summary data for each XNS network interface. The interfaces are identified by the XNS network numbers of the networks they are connected to. The screen shows the number of XNS datagrams received, forwarded, delivered to an upper layer protocol, and dropped.
