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:
