ESF (Extended Service Frame)
These frames are implementation dependent. An
ESF
frame can be an
announcement, a request, or a response.
PMF (Parameter Management Frame)
These frames are used to access remote station attributes. The Parameter
Management Protocol supports both
get
(display) and
set
(modify) functions;
however, the
pf_smtmon
utility can display only
PMF_get
frames. A
PMF_get
frame can be either a request or a response.
Filtering Output from
pf_smtmon
By default,
pf_smtmon
displays all of the
SMT
frames received by the local
station. You can filter the output generated by
pf_smtmon
by specifying one or
more frame classes on the command-line:
nif
,
sif_config
,
sif_operat
,
ecf
,
rdf
,
esf
,
pmf_get
.
For example:
♦
To display only the RDF frames received by interface
pf0
, type:
♦
To display the SIF configuration and SIF operation frames received by
interface
pf1
, type:
♦
To display the NIF frames, SIF configuration frames, and SIF operation
frames received by interface
pf1
, type:
#
<basedir>
/pf_smtmon rdf
#
<basedir>
/pf_smtmon —i pf1 sif_config sif_operat
#
<basedir>
/pf_smtmon —i pf1 nif sif_config sif_operat
