Figure 28 Network Status
The following information is displayed at the top of the screen:
•Ethernet Address – MAC address of the WLAN Application Gateway 2246 (hexadecimal).
•Stats Time Period – the length of time the statistics have been accumulating in the Pkts and Bytes columns. This is either the system uptime, or the time that has elapsed since a user pressed C=Clear while viewing this display.
•User Time Period – the length of time (in seconds) that statistics accumulate in the Userpkts column before resetting to zero. When troubleshooting a problem, use this setting to isolate statistics for a given time period (for example, one hour). This is the only field in this screen that can be changed by the user.
The rest of the display is a table of Ethernet statistics. The Pkts and User Pkts columns list the count of Ethernet packets received or transmitted. The Bytes column is the count of bytes received or transmitted during the amount of time indicated by the Stats Time Period.
•RX – number of packets and bytes received addressed to the WLAN Application Gateway 2246.
•RX Broadcast – the number of broadcast packets and bytes received.
•RX Multicast – the number of packets and bytes received with the multicast address. (A “multicast” message is sent to more than one destination on the network.)
•RX Not For Us – the number of multicast packets and bytes received that were not for the WLAN Application Gateway 2246.
•TX – the total number of packets and bytes transmitted.
•Interrupts – the number of times the Ethernet controller signals the microprocessor that it has received or sent a packet.
