Common LAN Driver Statistics
The generic statistics common to most of the drivers are maintained by two
modules in the NetWare
®
operating system that are autoloaded by LAN
drivers. The modules are:
 The Media Support Module
TM
(MSM.NLM)
 The Topology Specific Module
TM
(TSM.NLM)
There are three TSM
TM
modules. The one that is autoloaded will depend
on your server’s LAN driver. The three are ETHERTSM (Ethernet),
TOKENTSM (token-ring), and FDDITSM.
These common LAN driver statistics can be viewed with MONITOR. Select
Available Options > LAN/WAN drivers, and then select a driver. The system
displays a window containing both the generic and custom statistics for the
selected driver.
Brief descriptions of the statistics maintained by the MSM module and each
of the TSM modules are found in the following tables:
 Table 23, “LAN Driver Statistics,” on page 291
 Table 24, “Generic Statistics for Ethernet Drivers That Use
Ethertsm.nlm,” on page 294
 Table 25, “Generic Statistics for Token Ring Drivers That Use
Tokentsm.nlm,” on page 296
 Table 26, “Generic Statistics for FDDI Drivers That Use Fdditsm.nlm,”
on page 297
Custom LAN Driver Statistics
Custom statistics describe LAN activity for specific LAN device drivers.
The custom LAN driver statistics can be viewed with MONITOR. Select
Available Options > LAN/WAN drivers, and then select a driver, then press
Tab. The system displays a window containing both the generic and custom
statistics for the selected driver.
Brief descriptions of statistics for selected drivers are found in the following
tables:
 Table 27, “Custom Statistics for NE2000, NE2, NE2_32, CNE2_32, and
Other Ethernet Drivers,” on page 298
