Monitoring the Network from the Console Statistics Menu SmartStack STS16-20RM/STS16-20FRM Token Ring Switches, P/N: 9032957-01
7. Monitoring the Network from the
Console Statistics Menu
This chapter explains how to monitor the STS16-20RM or the STS16-20FRM
Token Ring switch through a directly connected VT100 console or through a
VT100 telnet session. To use SNMP (in-band, through the network management),
see Chapter 8, “Monitoring the Network with SNMP”.
The information presented on the statistics screens in this chapter is typically used
for monitoring purposes only. This information is usually the result of input data
from the configuration menus (see Chapter 6, “Switch Configuration”). The
specifications presented on the statistic screens normally can not be modified.
Information within the statistics menus are updated (screens are refreshed) every
five seconds.
For information on how to use the console interface, see “General Guidelines” on
page 72 and “Navigating within the Menus” on page 73 in Chapter 6, “Switch
Configuration”.

Note: The switch allows LAN Network Manager LLC frames to flow through the
switch. Therefore, communication between LAN Network Manager and existing
source route bridges and controlled access units is maintained. However, some error
reporting functions and ring map functions might be lost for the rings attached to
the switch.
