Figure 129. Show Counter RMON TR_MAC_LAYER

In order to be able to collect the above statistics, you must have enabled RMON mac_layer_stats collection using the following command for T-MAC:

SET MODULE {slot.subslot} RMON_MAC_LAYER_STATS enable

6. Display RMON TR_PROMISCUOUS statistics

You can display the RMON tr_promiscuous statistics for stations attached to a token-ring segment using the following command:

SHOW COUNTER RMON TR_PROMISCUOUS {network}

An example of the output displayed for this command is shown in Figure 130 on page 229.
