10.8DOT5_Group Support by T-MAC

DOT5_Group support by T-MAC allows you to perform the statistics collection tasks defined in the IEEE 802.5 token-ring Management Information Base (MIB). These functions allow the T-MAC to perform the following:

Collect soft error statistics

Provide interface status information

10.8.1 Using DOT5_Group Functions

To enable the T-MAC to collect token-ring statistics (dot5), you must use the following command:

SET MODULE {slot-subslot} DOT5_GROUP enable

The information collected by the DOT5 Group can be displayed using the following command:

SHOW COUNTER TOKEN_RING {token_ring_n}
