Examine the Statistics Screens To Verify That the Network Links

are Operational

This step helps to ensure that circuits and the bridging and routing

services are transmitting and receiving data with zero or few errors.

1. Access the statistics screens by using the NCL Stats command or by

selecting the Statistics Screen Menu from the Main menu. A menu of

statistics screens is presented.

2. Select and examine the Circuit Statistics screen. Verify that error-free

data is being exchanged over enabled circuits. Match the circuit

names with those on the network maps.

3. Select and examine the individual statistics screen for each routing

and bridging service configured on the router. Verify that the

configured services are exchanging frames or packets as expected.

The information listed should match the information on the site

survey worksheet and network maps. The statistics should reflect

the circuit groups, network interfaces, and traffic patterns expected

for the router configuration and the devices attached to the network.
