10.5.1.5 Ring Station Configuration Group

The token-ring Ring Station Config group provides the capability to actively manage and query the configuration of each token-ring node in the local ring.

The RMON probe can initiate the removal of a station from the ring by sending a Remove Station MAC frame. It keeps the following configuration parameters of each station:

∙

MAC address Microcode EC level Group address Functional address

10.5.1.6 Source Routing Group

The information collected by the token-ring Source Routing group is only applicable to the source-route bridging environment. The source routing information is present in all token-ring packets in this environment.

Do not use the information provided by this group if you are using transparent bridging or a mixed bridging/routing environment as it might not be accurate.

The token-ring Source Routing group is a collection of source routing statistics kept for a particular token-ring interface. The following statistics are collected:

In Frames	Contains the count of frames sent into this ring
	from another ring.
In Octets	Contains the count of octets in good frames
	sent into this ring from another ring.
Out Frames	Contains the count of frames sent from this ring
	to another ring.
Out Octets	Contains the count of octets in good frames
	sent from this ring to another ring.
Through Frames	Contains the count of frames sent from another
	ring through this ring, to another ring.
Through Octets	Contains the count of octets in good frames
	sent from another ring through this ring, to
	another ring.
All-Routes Broadcast Frames	Contains the total number of good frames
	received that were All-Routes broadcast.
All-Routes Broadcast Octets	Contains the total number of octets in good
	frames received that were All-Routes broadcast.
Single-Route Broadcast Frames	Contains the total number of good frames
	received that were single-route broadcast.
Single-Route Broadcast Octets	Contains the total number of octets in good
	frames received that were single-route
	broadcast.
Local LLC Frames	Contains the total number of frames received
	that had no Routing Information Field (RIF) or
	had a RIF that only included the local ring
	number and were not all-routes broadcast
	frames. RIF contains route information
	provided by the Bridge Program used in the
