SDLC Interfaces and the GWCON Interface Command

While the SDLC interface has a console process for operational purposes, the 2210 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 ªChapter 10. The Operating/Monitoring Process (GWCON - Talk 5) and Commandsº on page 127.)

Statistics Displayed for SDLC Interfaces

Using the interface command, you can display statistics for SDLC devices without entering the SDLC monitoring process. To do this, enter the interface command and an interface number at the + prompt.

Nt Indicates the interface number as assigned by software during initial con®guration.

Nt¢ Indicates the interface number as assigned by software during initial con®guration.
