1587.0. "FDDI / STATUS / COUNTERS ?" by ANNECY::ACHINO (Catherine, Annecy in France) Thu Feb 16 1995 09:21

    Hello,
    
    
    
          I would like to know what are the best way. with OSF/1, to
    get the FFDI interface status in any cases , and to get significant
    counters ?
          Is it possible with any FFDI board ?
    
    
         Thanks in advance for your help,
    
                                            Catherine

    Is there an OpenVMS utility that will do the same?

If you have created a LAT link on an FDDI adapter, LATCP will show you
something like this:

$ LCP SHOW LINK FDDI$LINK /COUNTER
Link Name:    FDDI$LINK
Device Name:  _FQA1:

Is this what you are looking for?  On OpenVMS AXP, there is a new LAN
control program (LANCP).  It might have the ability to show you device
counters too.

Or do ANA/SYS then SHOW LAN/COU/FDDI.

1587.5Some good ideas, for sure!CIVPR1::BURKEWed Mar 01 1995 12:0019
    I was just wondering if there was a programmatic way of doing this.  I
    am hesitant to provide to 100+ customer sites a command procedure that
    performs an ANALYZE/SYSTEM with output to a text file, then searching
    the text file for strings.
    
    It would be great if there were some QIO program that could interrogate
    the current FDDI channels and check if there were changes in the Bytes
    Xmt'd to show that there was activity.  Nothing as fancy as a
    LANalyzer, but something which could see how many FDDI cards were in
    the box and if they were working.
    
    The previous suggestions lead me to believe that I will end up with a
    command procedure, even though I would like some simple (aren't they
    all) program to perform it.
    
    I appreciate the input that this not has received so far and the
    suggestions are a great help.
