1152.0. "Counters for DB 900 ports?" by CGOS01::DMARLOWE (Have you been HUBbed lately?) Fri Jun 24 1994 05:48

    Just wondering about getting counter detail on DB 900 Ethernet ports.
    If you double click on a DR 900FP, DR 900TM or a DC 900 and then
    double click on any port you get additional information/counters
    on that port.  However when you double click on any port on the
    DB 900, you do not get any additional information.
    
    Is this right?  My customer would like to get info on some of the
    front panel Ethernets on the DB 900.  It would be nice to see FPS,
    BPS, error and collisions just like you do with a 900 repeater.
    I this something coming or never to expect or not working for me?

1152.1	In HUBwatch V3.1	SLINK::HOOD	I'd rather be at the Kennebec	`Fri Jun 24 1994 13:54`	45
	For HUBwatch V3.0, we didn't have either the time or the manpower to do a port window for the DECbridge 900MX. In HUBwatch V3.1 (the next release on OpenVMS, Windows, and OSF/1), there is a bridge port counters window for each of the bridge ports. It includes the following MIB info: Bridge counters: dot1dStpTimeSinceTopologyChange esysPowerups dot1dStpRootPort esysMgmtResets ebrCurrNVForwardingDBEntries esysUnsolicitedResets ebrCurrNVProtocolDBEntries Port counters: ifLastChange dot1dBasePortDelayExceededDiscards ifInOctets dot1dStpPortDesignatedBridge ifInUcastPkts dot1dStpPortDesignatedPort ifInNUcastPkts dot1dStpPortForwardTransitions ifInDiscards ebrRateLimitAddressFrames ifInErrors ebrRateLimitProtocolFrames ifOutOctets ebrIfPortRestarts ifOutUcastPkts ebrIfUnknownDAReceived ifOutNUcastPkts ebrIfBadHelloLimitExceeded ifOutDiscards ifOutErrors FDDI counters: (FDDI ports only) eMACFrameAlignmentErrors ebrIfFddiIpDatagramsFragmented eifBadFramesReceived ebrIfFddiIpDontFragment Ethernet counters: (Ethernet and Wireless Ethernet ports only) dot3StatsAlignmentErrors dot3StatsDeferredTransmissions dot3StatsFCSErrors dot3StatsExcessiveCollisions dot3StatsSingleCollisionFrames dot3StatsCarrierSenseErrors dot3StatsMultipleCollisionFrames For the V3.1 release, this is a standard HUBwatch counters window that can be accessed either by clicking on a bridge port in the front panel display or by double-clicking a port's connector in the bridge summary view. This window will be available for all 900-series bridges, the RoamAbout, and for GIGAswitch bridge ports. Hope this helps, Tom Hood HUBwatch

	There is no bridge port view in HUBwatch V3.0. It was traded off in order to get the release out. However, V3.1 will have a port view that will supply the raw port counters for ethernet and FDDI ports. Statistical calculations such as FPS, BPS etc. will be added in V4.0. Regards, Bob
