fddistat Command

AIX Version 4.3 Commands Reference, Volume 2

fddistat Command

Purpose

Shows FDDI device driver and device statistics.

Syntax

fddistat [ -r -t ] Device_Name

Description

The fddistat command displays the statistics gathered by the specified FDDI device driver. If no flags are specified, only the device driver statistics are displayed. This command is also invoked when the netstat command is run with the -v flag. The netstat command does not issue any fddistat command flags.

If an invalid Device_Name is specified, the fddistat command will produce an error message stating that it could not connect to the device.

Flags

-r	Resets all the statistics back to their initial values. This flag can only be issued by privileged users.
-t	Toggles debug trace in some device drivers.

Parameter

Device_Name

The name of the FDDI device, for example, fddi0.

Statistic Fields

Note: Some adapters may not support a specific statistic. The value of non-supported statistic fields is always 0.

The statistic fields displayed in the output of the fddistat command and their descriptions are:

Title Fields

Elapsed Time

Displays the real time period has elapsed since last time the statistics was reset. Since part of the statistics may be reset by the device driver during error recovery when a hardware error was detected, there will be another Elapsed Time displayed in the middle of the output when this situation has occurred in order to reflect the time differences between the statistics.

Transmit Statistics Fields

`Packets`	The number of packets transmitted successfully by the device.
`Bytes`	The number of bytes transmitted successfully by the device.
`Interrupt`	The number of transmit interrupts received by the driver from the adapter.
`Transmit Errors`	The number of output errors encountered on this device. This is a counter for unsuccessful transmissions due to hardware/network errors.
`Packets Dropped`	The number of packets accepted by the device driver for transmission which were not (for any reason) given to the device.
`Max Packets on S/W Transmit Queue`	The maximum number of outgoing packets ever queued to the software transmit queue.
`S/W Transmit Queue Overflow`	The number of outgoing packets overflowed the software transmit queue.
`Current S/W+H/W Transmit Queue Length`	The number of pending outgoing packets on either the software transmit queue or the hardware transmit queue.
`Broadcast Packets`	The number of broadcast packets has been transmitted without any error.
`Multicast Packets`	The number of multicast packets has been transmitted without any error.

Receive Statistics Fields

`Packets`	The number of packets has been received successfully by the device.
`Bytes`	The number of bytes received successfully by the device.
`Interrupts`	The number of receive interrupts received by the driver from the adapter.
`Receive Errors`	The number of input errors encounteredon this device. This is a counter for unsuccessful reception due to hardware/network errors.
`Packets Dropped`	The number of packets received by the device driver from this device which were not (for any reason) given to a network demuxer.
`Bad Packets`	The number of bad packets received (i.e.saved) by the device driver.
`Broadcast Packets`	The number of broadcast packets received without any error.
`Multicast Packets`	The number of multicast packets received without any error.

General Statistics Fields

`No mbuf Errors`	The number of times that mbufs were not available to the device driver. This usually occurs during receive operations when the driver must obtain mbuf buffers to process inbound packets. If the mbuf pool for the requested size is empty, the packet will be discarded. The netstat -m command can be used to confirm this.
`SMT Error Word`	The adapter's SMT error status.
`SMT Event Word`	The adapter's SMT event status.
`Connection Policy Violation`	The status of the adapter's connection to the ring.
`Port Event`	The adapter's port status.
`Set Count`	The current set count value.
`Adapter Check Code`	The adapter's most recent adapter check status.
`Purged Frames`	Receive frames dropped by the adapter due to lack of available descriptors.
`ECM State Machine`	Entity Coordination Management State Machine.
`PCM State Machine: Port A`	Physical Connection Management for the primary adapter State Machine
`PCM State Machine: Port B`	Physical Connection Management for the secondary adapter State Machine
`CFM State Machine: Port A`	Configuration Management for the primary adapter State Machine
`CFM State Machine: Port B`	Configuration Management for the secondary adapter State Machine
`CF State Machine`	Overall Configuration State Machine.
`MAC CFM State Machine`	Configuration Management for the MAC State Machine.
`RMT State Machine`	Ring Management State Machine.
`Driver Flags`	The device driver internal status flags that are currently turned on.

Example

To display the device driver statistics for fddi0, enter:

fddistat fddi0

This produces the following output:
