Checking Port Status and Counters

 

 

Field

Description

 

 

Overrun Errors

Number of characters lost because the access server

 

input buffers were full. If this value accumulates more

 

than 10 errors daily on any one port, you might have

 

flow control problems. If the port device supports

 

flow control, ensure that the access server flow

 

control and the flow control in the hardware for that

 

device are set the same way. To check the FLOW

 

CONTROL setting, use the SHOW PORT

 

CHARACTERISTICS command.

Local Accesses

Number of times an access server login occurred on

 

the port.

Remote Accesses

Number of times a remote access connection was

 

established on the port.
