IBM SC30-3681-08 manual Test, Uptime, Bytes Trans, Number of bytes transmitted at the MAC layer

GWCON Process

Bytes Trans

Number of bytes transmitted at the MAC layer.

Test

Use the test command to verify the state of an interface or to enable an interface that was previously disabled with the disable command. If the interface is enabled and passing traffic, the test command will remove the interface from the network and run self-diagnostic tests on the interface.

Syntax:

test interface#

Note: For this command to work, you must enter the complete name of the command followed by the interface number.

Enter the interface or network number as part of the command. To obtain the interface number, use the GWCON con®guration command. For example, when testing starts, the console displays the following message:

Testing net 0 TKR/0...

When testing completes or fails, or when GWCON times out (after 30 seconds), the following possible messages are displayed:

Testing net 0 Eth/0 ...successful

Testing net 0 Eth/0 ...failed

Testing net 0 Eth/0 ...still testing

Some interfaces may take more than 30 seconds before testing is done.

Note: If the interface you are testing is con®gured as an alternate WAN Reroute interface, you are prompted:

vIf you want to enable the interface's primary-alternate pairings if WAN Reroute is currently disabled for the alternate interface.

If you answer yes, the same action occurs as when you enter the t 5 enable alternate-circuitWAN reroute command described in Con®guring and Monitoring WAN Restoral in Using and Con®guring Features.

vIf you want to test the interface.

Normally an alternate WAN Reroute interface is disabled until it is needed to back up its corresponding primary interface. If you answer yes, a self-test is started for the interface. If you answer no, a self-test does not occur.

See The WAN Reroute Feature, Using WAN Restoral, and Con®guring and Monitoring WAN Restoral in the Using and Con®guring Featuresfor additional information.

Uptime

Use the uptime command to display time statistics about the router, including the following:

vNumber of restarts.

vNumber of known crashes.
