GWCON Process

Low Low water mark (¯ow control).

Curr Current number of buffers on this device. The value will be 0 if the device is disabled. When a packet is received, if the value of Curr is below Low, then the packet is eligible for ¯ow control. (See thequeue command for conditions.)

Buffer Sizes:

Hdr Sum of the maximum hardware, MAC, and data link headers.

Wrap Allowance given for MAC, LLC, or Network layer headers due to protocol wrapping.

Data Maximum data link layer packet size.

Trail Sum of the largest MAC and hardware trailers.

Total Overall size of each packet buffer.

Bytes Alloc

Amount of buffer memory for this device. This value is determined by multiplying the values of Alloc x Total.

Clear

Use the clear command to delete statistical information about one or all of the router's network interfaces. This command is useful when tracking changes in large counters. Using this command does not save space or speed up the router.

Enter the interface (or net) number as part of the command. To get the interface number, use the GWCON con®guration command.

Syntax:

clear

interface# or range_of_interface#

To clear information about multiple interfaces, specify the range_of_network# (or a combination of interface# and range_of_interface#). For example, specifying clear 0 3 25-50clears the information for nets 0, 3, and 25 through 50.

Con®guration

Use the con®guration command to display information about the protocols and network interfaces. The output is displayed in three sections, the ®rst section lists the router identi®cation, software version, boot ROM version, and the state of the auto-boot switch. The second and third sections list the protocol and interface information.

Syntax:

con®guration

To display information about multiple interfaces, specify the range_of_network# (or

a combination of network# and range_of_network#). For example, specifying configuration 0 3 25-50displays the information for nets 0, 3, and 25 through 50.
