To Request Information from the Local Agent
Use the console to create a request for data that is sent periodically to
the SunFDDI/P local agent.
This is similar to running the pf_stat(1M) utility and specifying an
<interval> and <count> as described in “Displaying SunFDDI/P Statistics
(pf_stat)” on page 87.
The local agent responds with the requested information, which can be
saved to file or displayed using the SunNet Manager Grapher.
