132. Show Module Command for T-MAC

As can be seen, at the time of display, all the RMON groups are enabled on the T-MAC.

6.Once the T-MAC is enabled to collect the appropriate RMON group, you can display the collected information using the following command:

SHOW COUNTER RMON {rmon group} {network}

This command is described in 10.6.5, ªSHOW COUNTER Command for

Token-Ring Networksº on page 222.

10.7 Surrogate Functions Supported by T-MAC

The token-ring architecture defines the Configuration Report Server (CRS) and Ring Error Monitor (REM) functions.

The Ring Error Monitor (REM) observes, collects, and analyzes hard-errors and soft-error reports sent by the ring stations on a single ring and assists in fault isolation and correction. Configuration Report Server (CRS) function accepts commands from the LAN manager to get station information, set station
