IBM SC30-3681-08 manual Reserve, Never Alloc, Perm Alloc, Temp Alloc, Prev Alloc, Global buff size

GWCON Process

Reserve

Minimum amount of memory needed by the currently con®gured protocols and features.

Never Alloc

Memory that has never been allocated.

Perm Alloc

Memory requested permanently by router tasks.

Temp Alloc

Memory allocated temporarily to router tasks.

Prev Alloc

Memory allocated temporarily and returned.

Number of global buffers:

Total Total number of global buffers in the system.

Free Number of global buffers available.

Fair Fair number of buffers for each interface. (See ªLowº.)

Low The number of free buffers at which the allocation strategy changes to conserve buffers. If the value of Free is less than Low, then buffers will not be placed on any queue that has more than the Fair number of buffers in it.

Global buff size:

Global buffer size.

Data Maximum data link packet size of any interface.

Header

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

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

Trailer Sum of the largest MAC and hardware trailers.

Total Overall size of each packet buffer

Network

Use the network command to enter the console environment for supported networks, such as X.25 networks. This command obtains the console prompt for the speci®ed interface. From the prompt, you can display statistical information, such as the routing information ®elds for Token-Ring networks.

Syntax:

networkinterface#

At the GWCON prompt (+), enter the con®guration command to see the protocols and networks for which the router is con®gured. See ªCon®gurationº on page 130 for more information on the con®guration command.

Enter interface at the + prompt for a display of the networks for which the router is con®gured.

Enter the GWCON network command and the number of the interface you want to monitor or change. For example:
