Viewing Captured Packets from the Menu-Driven User Interface

The twelve most recent LMI events are stored in the trace log. Once the capture buffer or trace log is full, the oldest packets are overwritten. To view the most recently captured packets using the menu-driven user interface:

Select Refresh to update the screen with the twelve most recently collected LMI messages.

The following information is provided:

HThe internal LMI record number assigned to the packet (1±8000), and the amount of time the utility was running when the packet was captured.

The maximum amount of time displayed is 4,294,967 seconds (s), which is reset to 1 second when this amount of time is exceeded.

HThe type of message, either Status or Status Enquiry, from the captured packet, and the number of bytes in the packet.

HThe LMI Type identified in the Protocol Discriminator portion of the captured packet, and the DLCI number for the packet.

HThe type of information contained in the captured packet, either Sequence Number Exchange or Full Status Report.

HThe send and receive (rcv) sequence numbers from the captured packet (0±255).

HOn the Packets Received side of the screen, PVC status for up to ten DLCIs can be shown. It shows the DLCI number, its active bit status, and if Standard LMI is running, the DLCI's CIR value.
