This completes the procedure to configure FDDI cards, and as with the ATM
card, we would like to introduce some of the

maint

commands we found to be

useful.

4.4.9 Some maint Commands for the FDDI Media Card

The

maint

commands display a range of information about the FDDI media

card. The FDDI card has an individual processor for the transmit and receive
side, and two sets of

maint

commands. One set, the

maint 1

commands,

covers the receive (RX) side, while the second set, the

maint 70

commands,

covers the transmit (TX) side.

To use

maint,

follow these steps:

• First, switch to the

maint

prompt with the

grrmb

command. A new prompt,

GR 66>

, will appear.

• Then change the prompt port to the FDDI media card you are working

with. For example, if you are working with a card in slot 0, enter

port 0

at

the

GR> 66

prompt.

The following message is returned along with the changed prompt:

Current port card is 0

GR 0>

• To leave any

maint

prompt and return to the shell, enter

quit

.

Following are just a few

maint

commands we have found useful; of course,

your needs may vary.

To obtain a list of FDDI CPU0

maint

commands, enter

maint 1.

Enter the

maint 70

command to switch to the set of CPU1 commands. The

maint 3

command returns configuration information for each interface; to list statistics
per FDDI interface, use

maint 4

; to list switch interface statistics, enter

maint 5.

Clear all statistics with the

maint 7

command. Display the current ARP table’s

content with

maint 70 8

. Reset individual FDDI interfaces using

maint 12

and

the physical interface number (0–3);

maint 12 0

will reset port 0.
