Procedure
(continued)
Step 3.
Configure DAG for Normal Use.
The
dagfour default
command is always used:
dag@endace:~$ dagfour default
linkA nonic noeql rxpkts txpkts crc long=1500 enablea
linkB nonic noeql rxpkts txpkts crc long=1500 enableb
packet varlen slen=48 noalign64
packetA drop=0
packetB drop=0
pcix 133MHz 64-bit buf=32MB rxstreams=1 txstreams=1 mem=32:0
The
default
command always sets the DAG 4.3GE to nonic and noeql
mode. For Ethernet link auto-negotiation use
default nic
.
Step 4.
Check Card is Locked to Data Stream.
Configure card according to local settings.
Check through the physical layer statistics that the card is locked to the data
stream.
4.5 Inspect Interface Statistics
Description
Once the card has been configured, the interface statistics are inspected to
check the card is locked to the data stream.
dag@endace:~$ dagfour -d dag0 -si
The tool displays a number of status bits that have occurred since last
reading. The following example shows the interval is set to one second via
the
-i
option.
Sync
