IPXNETSTAT (1M)IPXNETSTAT

NAME

ipxnetstat - show IPX network status

SYNOPSIS

ipxnetstat [-ir [dv] ] [-p rip ipx] [interval]

DESCRIPTION

The ipxnetstat command symbolically displays the contents of network-related data structures to show the status of configured interfaces, routing tables, and network statistics related to IPX packet traffic.

The -ioption shows the status of both the ethernet and virtual configured network interfaces. This display includes the network number, node address, state of the interface, the number of packets received and sent, and the number of sent and receive errors.

When used with the -ioption or the -roption, the -doption displays the network address number in decimal.

The routing table display (-r) shows the status of configured routes. This display includes the network address, the number of hops or routers that must be passed through to reach the specified network, the number of ticks or length of time (i.e., expressed in units of 1/18 of a second) that a packet takes to reach the designated network as well as the node address associated with that network.

When used with the -ioption or the -roption, the -voption enables debugging mode that displays additional information as the command executes. This information is helpful in diagnosing both software and/or network problems. The -pipx or -prip option will show only those statistics for the specified protocol.

The option interval is a number that represents the frequency with which the display is to be updated. This display shows the summary of the packets sent and received over both the ethernet and virtual interfaces.

DIAGNOSTICS

Exit status is zero for normal termination; a positive number for error termination.

The message Can't open device in the different displays indicates that ipxnetstat cannot open the specific protocol device to obtain the requested statistics because the IPX stack is not activated.
