Displaying Protocol Statistics

Displaying protocol statistics lets you track what is going on a link or links. You can display statistics on a per-protocol basis, or display statistics for all protocols.

To display statistics, start x25tool, then pull down the Network menu. Choose the Statistics X.25 menu item. The Network Statistics window appears. Choose the protocol you would like statistics for by clicking on the box to the left of the protocol name. You can select more than one protocol; for example, you can select X.25 and MLP.

Once you have select a protocol or protocols, specify a Link Number or All. Specify the Interval (in seconds) that Statistics should be collected for, and the level of detail you require. For example, you may want to isolate the statistics for a particular VC, if you suspect that is where the problem is. Click on Display to display the statistics--Clear resets them to zero. Once you are happy with your settings, click on Apply.

To collect and display statistics, click on the Display button in the Network Statistics window. Statistics appear in the window and are updated every time the Interval elapses. If you do not have x25tool running on your system, you can access the same information by running the command x25stat.
