Frame Relay Interfaces and the GWCON Interface Command
While Frame Relay interfaces have a monitoring process for monitoring purposes,
the router also displays complete statistics for installed interfaces when you use the
interface command from the GWCON environment. (For more information on the
interface command, refer to “Chapter 10. The Operating/Monitoring Process
(GWCON - Talk5) and Commands” on page 127)
Statistics Displayed For Frame Relay Interfaces
Statistics similar to the following are displayed when you execute the interface
command from the GWCON environment for Frame Relay interfaces:
+interface 1 Self-Test Self-Test Maintenance

Nt Indicates the interface number as assigned by software during initial
configuration.
Nt’ Indicates the interface number as assigned by software during initial
configuration.
Note: For FR dial circuit interfaces, Nt’ is different from Nt. Nt’ indicates the
base interface (ISDN) that the dial circuit is running over.
Interface
Indicates the type of interface and its instance number. Frame relay has a
FR designation.
CSR Indicates the memory location of the control status register for the Frame
Relay interface.
Vec Indicates the vector number for the Frame Relay interface.
Self-test Passed
Indicates the total number of times the Frame Relay interface passed
self-test.
Self-test Failed
Indicates the total number of times the Frame Relay interface failed
self-test.
