Obtaining Status and Statistical Information

DLCI Layer Information
The information in this section of the display provides statistics on virtual circuits. Each row in
this table corresponds to one virtual circuit.
DLCI Num
The
DLCI number assigned to this virtual circuit. This value is only valid locally; the same
virtual circuit on the other end of the Frame Relay line may or may not use the same DLCI
for this VC.
Admin/Oper Status
This field shows the Administrative and Operational Status of this
virtual circuit. The status
indicator before the slash refers to the Administrative Status. If UP, then the virtual circuit
has been enabled and can transmit data as long as its Operational Status is also UP. If the
Administrative Status is DN, then the VC will not pass data even if its physical connection
is good.
The status indicator after the slash refers to the Operational Status. If
UP, then the virtual
circuit is capable of passing data. If DN, then the VC cannot pass data because the
network has declared the virtual circuit inactive, the network does not respond to STATUS
ENQUIRY messages, or the VC is Administratively Down.
DLCI Type
The type of virtual circuit will be either
Configured or Learned. Configured means this VC
is a management, or control, circuit that is used by Frame Relay protocols, such as the
DLCMI protocols, to pass various status messages. The Frame Relay network does not self-
configure management virtual circuits. Data VCs can become “configured” if you use
frmodify to change any of the default settings for the Data VC. Learned means this is a
Data VC that the Frame Relay network informed the WSX module about through status
messages (using a Control VC).
Note
The
VC Type of the management DLCI (0 or 1023) is
always
configured since the Frame Relay network does
not dynamically configure management virtual circuits.
Frames In
The number of frames received on this VC since it was created.
Frames Out
The number of frames transmitted on this VC since it was created.
Octets In
The number of octets, or bytes, received on this VC since it was created.
Octets Out
The number of octets, or bytes, transmitted on this VC since it was created.
