Speed BPS
This column indicates the speed, or access rate, between the
WSX
serial port and
DSU
or other
physical
DTE
device. The speed is expressed in bits per second (bps). This speed is the total
bandwidth available on the line connected to this port. Virtual circuits on this port share this
bandwidth.
Usually, the
WSX
port will be a physical
DTE
device and the speed will be determined by the
DSU
. In this case, this value will read
EXT CLK
, which means the
WSX
port gets its clocking
from an externally attached
DCE
device (i.e.,
DTE
cable plugged into
WSX
port) or no cable is
attached. If the
WSX
port is a physical
DCE
device (i.e.,
DCE
cable plugged into
WSX
port),
then this value will be the actual clock rate used by the port.
Clocking
Indicates the type of clocking used on this port. The three types of clocking are described in
Clocking on page 28-17.
Utilization
Indicates the amount of port usage, expressed in bandwidth percentage, over three durations:
the previous ten seconds (
10s
), the previous minute (
1m
), and the previous five minutes (
5m
).
Obtaining Information on the Ports for a Single WSX Board
To obtain status information on a single
WSX
board, enter the
wpstatus
command and the slot
number for the
WSX
board, as follows:
wpstatus slot
where
slot
is the slot number where the
WSX
board is installed. For example, if you wanted to
obtain status information for the board in slot 4. In the following three examples, the port
parameters being displayed are for a system that contains a 2-port
WSX
ISDN-BRI board in
slot 4, an 8-port
WSX
serial board in slot 5, and a 2-port
WSX
T1 board in slot 8.)
ISDN-BRI Board Example
In this example, the board in slot 4 is a 2-port ISDN-BRI
WSX
board. To view the status of slot
4, enter:
wpstatus 4
or
wps 4
This command displays a screen similar to the following:
