Displaying Information About the Access Server
Introduction
The LIST/MONITOR/SHOW SERVER command displays information about the
access server or about data maintained by the access server. You can obtain
characteristics, counter, status, and summary displays for the access server.
Specifying the Prompt
The factory-set default access server prompt is Local>. You can change this prompt to
any ASCII character, with a restriction of 1 to 16 characters. The following shows how
to change this prompt to Engineering>. You should include a space at the end of the
prompt, to leave space between the prompt and user commands.
Local> CHANGE SERVER PROMPT "Engineering> "
To go back to the default Local> prompt, enter the following command:
Local> CHANGE SERVER PROMPT ""
This command specifies the access server prompt displayed to all port users when in
local mode, with the exception of the RCF management port.
Displaying Access Server Counters
The LIST/MONITOR/SHOW SERVER COUNTERS command displays the values
for the global counters maintained by the access server. The counters display is useful
for detecting network problems.
The first line displays the access server software version number and base level, LAT
software version number, ROM version number, and the time that the access server has
been running since the last downline load, expressed as days hours:minutes:seconds.
The COUNTERS data appear in two blocks:
• Ethernet data link counters — The upper block is for datagrams sent between the
access server and all nodes on the Ethernet network. Some of the fields displayed
are bit masks, the values of which tell the reasons for certain events.
• LAT protocol counters — The lower block is for messages transmitted between
the access server and all LAT service nodes. The access server maintains some of
these counters for each service node with which it communicates. Refer to the
node counters display descriptions in Viewing LAT Node Counters Information
in this chapter.
