| 2122.1 | Don't know why it is not being returned. | TOOK::ANWARUDDIN | Anwar | Thu Jan 16 1992 18:40 | 2 |
| The action of the Performance Analyzer is correct. No "Counter Creation Time", no statistics.
Hopefully somebody from the LAN or ELMS group can shed light on why it is not being returned.

| 2122.2 | DECbridge 500 don't keep reqired counters | VIVIAN::MILTON | Invisible person it seems! | Fri Jan 17 1992 07:02 | 8 |
| Stuart,
The decbridge500 doesn't keep byte sent/received counters so utilization can't
be worked out, can they? If you want to look at fddi utilization then I think the
concentrator is the place to look - I haven't tried that myself cos I can't seem
to register any of the things!

| 2122.3 | documentation/help text problem? | CLARID::HOFSTEE | Take a RISC, buy a VAX | Fri Jan 17 1992 10:49 | 62 |

Funny enough I stumbled on the same problem yesterday, when I was trying to
figure out what counters/statistics can be shown for the different bridges.
The first problem is, that the ELMS documentation and the online help
documentation are not in line. The ELMS BPA doc states on page A-2 that
Bytes received (br) and Device bytes send (dbs), are supported on the
100,150,200,500,600 bridge. It also states on page A-3 a list of calculations,
that has as heading: "Algorithms for bridge line statistics", which seems to
imply that these formulas (and results) are available for ALL bridges.
Than on page A-4 it EXPLICITELY states that Network Utilization applies ONLY
to the 200,500,600 series.
Now the online doc states :
ENTITY
BRIDGE
LINE
STATISTICS
The following Traffic statistics are available for the BRIDGE LINE
entity.
Count of Total Frames Sent
Count of Total Frames Received
Originating Bridge Frames
Terminating Bridge Frames
Filtered Frames
The following traffic statistics apply to the LAN200 Bridge only.
Network Utilization
Multicast Utilization
Single Destination Utilization
Single Destination Throughput
Multicast Throughput
The following Error statistics are available for the BRIDGE LINE entity.
Bad Frames
Frames Discarded Lifetime Exceeded
Frames Received with Unknown Destination Address
Inbound Frames Lost
Outbound Frames Lost
Count of Invalid Protocol Messages
Error Percent
So are the utilization /throughput calculations only available for the LB200
or also for the 500,600?
It would be nice to have some (verified table) like
100 150 200 500 600
counter_type X X
statistic_type X X X
Thanks for any clarification

| The DECbridge 500 should ALWAYS be returning Counter Creation Time (which
is calculated from Seconds Operating). Something is definitely wrong
here if it isn't being returned...
RE: Returning of DECbridge 500 Total Bytes Sent counters:
1. Only the Ethernet Line can return them (not FDDI side)
2. Whether they're returned for the Ethernet Line is based
on what version of *firmware* the DECbridge is running
(hoping to get the version # from LAN BU on this...)
No FDDI statistics are being calculated by the PA FM (i.e. no
statictics for Concentrators).

| 2122.5 | no statistics for the lines? | CLARID::HOFSTEE | Take a RISC, buy a VAX | Mon Jan 20 1992 08:18 | 91 |

I get the 'Counter Creation Time was not returned.' message on all 15 DECbridge
500 bridges over here. Does that mean that there is definitely something wrong
with ALL these bridges ?
Do you mean that I cannot get ANY statistics from the lines or only from the
bridge entity itself?
Hereby some output from one of the 15 bridges that I tried.

| Here's what I've discovered:
* If you have not augmented your dictionary with
MCC_BRIDGE_LINE_STATISTICS.COM then Counter Creation Time is returned
on the ethernet side of DECbridge 500s.
* When you augment your dictionary with the PA stuff (which the ELM
T1.2.4 kit does) Counter Creation Time is no longer returned.
* Counter Creation Time is not returned by the bridge itself, but is a
synthesized attribute (the Bridge AM generates it from the Seconds
Operating counter).
I'm looking into this now and I'll keep you all posted.

This isn't true -- I must have goofed when I was trying out things!
This is a problem with the Bridge AM code. The ELM field test update
kit will have this fixed.
