lanestat(1M)
NAME
lanestat − display status of LAN Emulation over ATM
SYNOPSIS
/opt/SUNWatm/bin/lanestat lane_interface
/opt/SUNWatm/bin/lanestat -a
AVAILABILITY
SUNWatmu
DESCRIPTION
lanestat displays information about the state of the LAN Emulation protocol on an ATM interface. The information provided may be used to debug configuration problems, or to verify successful bring-up of a LAN Emulation interface.
The only parameter is the LAN Emulation interface name, which will be of the form laneN, where N is the instance number. Optionally, the -a flag may be used to request information for all LAN Emulation interfaces.
The following fields will be displayed:
setup_state The state of the LAN Emulation setup program, lanesetup. The possible values are setup-not-run, which means that lanesetup has not been run successfully for this interface; setup-started, which means that lanesetup is currently running; setup-requested-join, which means that a join request has been sent to the LES, but a response has not yet been received; setup-finished, which means that lanesetup has successfully completed; and interface-defunct, which means that the interface has been partially unconfigured by removing its entries from the configuration files and re-running laneconfig. Interfaces whose state is interface-defunct will be removed from the kernel on reboot, assuming that the configuration files are not changed.
arpcsmode The mode in which the LAN Emulation software is running. The possible values are client-being-modified and client. client-being-modified indicates that lanesetup is currently running on the system; the configuration is not complete; client indicates that the system is a LAN Emulation client.
lanestate The state of the LAN Emulation client. When a LAN Emulation client interface comes up, it must go through a process called "joining the LAN." The value in this field reflects the current stage in that process. For a description of the steps a client goes through to join a LAN, see section 5.3.1, LAN Emulation Services, in the SunATM 2.0 Manual. For a client that is up and running, the value of this field should be active.
lan_type The type of Emulated LAN. Possible values are unspecified, ethernet(802.3), token-ring(802.5), and <unknown>. Currently, SunATM supports only emulated LANs of type ethernet.
elan_name The name of the Emulated LAN. Most LAN Emulation Servers will provide this information to the client when the client joins the LAN, but in some cases, such as in the case of multiple Emulated LANs, the user must provide this name in its requests to join. If this is the case in your configuration, see the description of the ‘n’ flag in laneconfig(4).
lecid A number assigned by the LES to uniquely identify this LAN Emulation client.
max_frame_size_code
size A code identifying the maximum SDU size of an Emulated LAN data frame; the actual size corresponding to the code is provided as well. This value is generally determined by the LAN Emulation Configuration Server.
lecs_vci
les_vci
les_distribute_vci
bus_vci
bus_forward_vci
The VCIs identifying the connections to the three servers providing LAN Emulation services for the emulated LAN. A VCI of 0 indicates that no connection exists. It is normal for the LECS connection to be torn down during the process of joining the emulated LAN.
