status link

Last Updated : Aug 02, 2023 |
Use status link to see:
  • Static information about the link.
  • Data extension and port used, connect speed, and protocol information.
  • Time information for PPP and Ethernet links, including the time of the last reset.
  • Type and number of active applications.

status link field descriptions, page 1

Field
Description
Link Number
Administered link number (assigned by add/change data-module)
Link Status
no, yes, unavail, connected, disconnected, enabled, out-of-service, or restarting
Link Type
The type of interface according to the physical/link protocol(s) immediately below the network layer in the protocol stack (Ethernet or PPP)
Link Name
Administered link name (assigned by add/change data-module)
Service Port Location
Administered port location (assigned by add/change data-module)
Service Port Data Extension
Administered extension number (assigned by add/change data-module)
Service State
in-service/idle, in-service/active, disconnected, out-of-service, maintenance busy, in-service, inactive, active, idle
Node Name
Administered node name for TCP/IP endpoint (assigned by add/change data-module)
Source IP Address
IP address administered for node name (assigned with change node-name or add/change data-module)
Enabled
y/n
Maintenance Busy
y/n
Active Channels
Number of active channels

Field
Description
Incoming received Unicast packets
The number of subnetwork-unicast packets delivered to a higher-layer protocol.
Incoming received multicast packets
The number of non-unicast (subnetwork-broadcast or subnetwork-multicast) packets delivered to a higher-layer protocol.
Incoming dropped octets
The total number of octets received on the interface, including framing characters.
Incoming errored packets
The number of inbound packets that contained errors preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol.
Incoming packets discarded
The number of inbound packets which were chosen to be discarded even though no errors had been detected to prevent their being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol. One possible reason for discarding such a packet could be to free up buffer space.
Outgoing Transmitted unicast packets
The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested be transmitted to a subnetwork-unicast address, including those that were discarded or not sent.
Outgoing multicast packets
The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested be transmitted to a non- unicast (subnetwork-broadcast or subnetwork-multicast) address, including those that were discarded or not sent.
Outgoing transmitted octets
The total number of octets transmitted out of the interface, including framing characters.
Outgoing errored packets
The number of outbound packets that could not be transmitted because of errors.
Outgoing packets discarded
The number of outbound packets which were chosen to be discarded even though no errors had been detected to prevent their being transmitted. One possible reason for discarding such a packet could be to free up buffer space.

The processor or hop channel status information can take either 1 or 2 pages on this screen, depending on the number of links being reported and their condition.
Note:
A dash (–) or a colon (:) between numbers indicates all numbers including and between the indicated numbers.
Field
Description
UP
Channels are up.
DOWN
Channels are down.
PND
Channels are in a pending state from the down to the up state (processor channels only)

status link field descriptions, page 4

The following is an example of the output of page 4 of status link. The screen displays every TCP/IP socket link that is currently up and active and that is using the Ethernet link n through the Processor Ethernet interface. Note that the service type of DOLAN reflects the total of IP endpoints and H323 signaling groups on that procor.
