Installing PeerMaster LAN Software
Custom Statistics for VNET.LAN:
You can display custom
statistics for VNET.LAN using MONITOR.NLM. You can select a
specific instance of VNET.LAN when multiple instances are loaded.
A specific instance of VNET.LAN can be uniquely identified by two
parameters: slot number and frame type. The following sample
menu items illustrate how MONITOR.NLM prompts you to select
among three instances of VNET.LAN.
VNET [SLOT=41ðð FRAME=ETHERNET_8ð2.2]
VNET [SLOT=ðCðð FRAME=ETHERNET_8ð2.3]
VNET [SLOT=ðCðð FRAME=ETHERNET_8ð2.2]
Note: Slot numbers do not correspond to either physical or pseudo
slot numbers. This is because a single instance of VNET.LAN
might include multiple physical adapters. For this reason,
VNET.LAN slot numbers are represented as bit masks. To
ensure that VNET.LAN slot numbers do not conflict with
physical slot numbers, the least significant eight bits of the
mask are always set to zero. The upper eight bits of the
mask—bits 8 through 15—represent the physical slots 1
through 8, respectively.
The following table illustrates the relationship between VNET.LAN
slot numbers and physical slot numbers.
The slot number of 2100 specifies an instance of VNET.LAN that
includes the PeerMaster adapters in physical slots 6 and 1. The
sample slot value of 0C00 specifies a VNET.LAN including the
adapters in physical slots 3 and 4. Note that multiple instances of
VNET.LAN include the adapters in physical slots 3 and 4. Instances
of VNET.LAN with identical slot numbers can be uniquely selected
by their respective frame types.
