5.4.12 Change Restart Timer
The (Change) Restart Timer (CT) setting determines how frequently the
host polls drops that have been removed from the from active list.
When this time interval expires, the SRX polls each inactive drop once.
If the drop responds, that drop is returned to the active polling list. If
the drop fails to respond, it remains on the inactive list. The timer can
be set for intervals of N x 15 seconds, “0” disabled (inactive drops will
never be restarted) or “C” continuous (drops will always remain active
whether they respond to polls or not). The default is 15 seconds
In addition, Drop Timeout (the time the SRX waits for a poll response
before removing the drop from the active list) can be set to AUTO or
fixed at 10-10000ms. The default is AUTO.
5.4.13 Activity Counts
The Activity Counts (AC) command shows the current statistics for all
ports. The drop port error counts are requested from the drops when
this command is issued. The host multiplexer waits until the responses
are received from all the active drops before showing the counts;
inactive drops are not polled. A range of ports may be included with
this command to reduce the number of ports shown.
The Z command is used to zero the counters so that current activity can
be monitored
5.4.14 Drop Activity
The Drop Activity (DA) command shows polling statistics and status for
all mapped drops. The Zero Activity Counts (Z) command is used to
zero the counters.
5.4.15 Flow Control
The Flow Control (FC) command displays the current port flow control
status for both host and drop ports. A port range may be included with
this command.
