Troubleshooting Routers
5-12
• wfFDDIRingOverrunRx (get wfFddiEntry.21.*)
This shows the number of LLC (logical link control) reception ring
overrun events. These errors are equivalent to “Lack of Resource” errors
on a sync or Ethernet port. Each error indicates one lost packet.
Troubleshoot a problem with reception ring overruns as follows:
– Use the following command to verify how many buffers are currently
free in the slot:
get wfKernelEntry.*.
<slot>
– Go to “Memory or Buffer Problem” in Chapter 3 if you need an
explanation of the memory issues.
– Increase the size of the reception queue by setting the wfFddiEntry.43
attribute (wfFDDICfgRxQueueLength). The maximum setting is 255.
• wfFDDITxClipFrames (
get wfFddiEntry.40.*)
This shows the number of frames clipped or dropped that the router could
not add to the driver’s transmission routine because of transmission
congestion. Determine what type of data is overrunning the transmission
port by using a network analyzer or the router's Packet Capture utility.
Use the following command to verify how many buffers are currently free
in the slot:
get wfKernelEntry.*.
<slot>
Go to “Memory or Buffer Problem” in Chapter 3 for an explanation of the
memory issues.
Increase the size of the transmission queue by setting the wfFddiEntry.42
attribute (wfFDDICfgTxQueueLength). The maximum setting is 255.
3. Enter the Technician Interface get wfFddiSmtEntry.9.* command. Or, use
this Quick Get path to access it: wfLine➔wfFddiGroup➔
wfFddiSmtGroup➔wfFddiSmtTable➔wfFddiSmtCfState.
This shows the connection of the station to the ring. The codes are a follows:
• 1 = isolated
• 2 = wrap S
• 3 = wrap A
