Monitoring the DSL Cards

the Hotwire DSL cards. The monitoring screens allow you to:
H List the status of active ports and interfaces in a card, as well as display
statistics about other physical layers and interfaces.
H Display network protocol statistics, such as information about an application
program assigned to a specific socket number, UDP statistics, TCP data and
connection statistics, IP statistics, ICMP packet statistics, and SNMP
statistics including SNMP authentication statistics.
H Display bridging information about the Client, ARP, and VLANs.
H Display endpoint information about DSL ports 1 through 4 such as SN type,
system name, system contact, and system location. Model and serial
number, along with firmware and hardware revisions are also shown.
Use the monitoring screens to help you gather pertinent information and isolate
potential problem areas. You can monitor the system with either Administrator or
Operator permission.
