1 /ALL
Displays information about all nodes known to your local node.
When you use this qualifier, specify the /FULL or /BRIEF
qualifier as well. If you do not specify either the /FULL or
/BRIEF qualifier, the default display will contain the node
status and identification string (the display generated by the
/BRIEF qualifier).
2 /BRIEF
Displays the node status and identification string. This is the
default display if you specify the /ALL qualifier.
3 /COUNTERS
Displays the counters kept for the node. Do not use the /BRIEF or
/FULL qualifier with this qualifier. LAT Node Counters lists and
describes the counters displayed with SHOW NODE/COUNTERS.
Table 6 LAT Node Counters
Counter Description
Messages received The total number of LAT messages received by
the local node. If you specify a remote node
with the SHOW NODE command, the number of LAT
messages received from that remote node.
Messages The total number of LAT messages transmitted
transmitted by the local node. If you specify a remote
node with the SHOW NODE command, the number of
LAT messages transmitted to that remote node.
Slots received The total number of LAT slots received by the
local node. If you specify a remote node with
the SHOW NODE command, the number of slots
received from that remote node. A slot is a
message segment that contains information
corresponding to a single session.
Slots transmitted The total number of LAT slots transmitted by
the local node. If you specify a remote node
with the SHOW NODE command, the number of
slots transmitted to that remote node.
Bytes received The total number of bytes of LAT information
received by the local node. If you specify a
remote node with the SHOW NODE command, the
number of bytes received from that remote
node.
Bytes transmitted The total number of bytes of LAT information
transmitted by the local node. If you specify
a remote node with the SHOW NODE command, the
number of bytes transmitted to that remote
node.
Multicast bytes The total number of LAT multicast bytes
received received by the local node.
Multicast bytes The total number of LAT multicast bytes sent
sent by the local node.
Multicast The total number of LAT multicast messages
messages received received by the local node.
Multicast The total number of LAT multicast messages
messages sent sent by the local node.
No transmit The total number of times no buffer was
buffer available on the local node for transmission.
Multicast The total number of times LTDRIVER failed to
messages lost process an inbound multicast message because
of failed communication with the LATACP.
Multicast send The total number of times LTDRIVER failed to
failures send a multicast message because of failed
communication with the LATACP.
Controller errors The total number of times LTDRIVER failed
to communicate with the data link controller
driver.
Last controller The most recent controller error.
error
Multiple node The total number of times that a node
addresses announced itself with a physical address
different from that in a previous
announcement.
Duplicates The total number of duplicate messages
received received by the local node. If you specify
a remote node with the SHOW NODE command, the
number of duplicate messages received from
that remote node. This counter can indicate a
system slowdown.
Messages The total number of LAT messages that the
retransmitted local node retransmitted because they were
not acknowledged by terminal servers (or
nodes that support outgoing connections). If
you specify a remote node with the SHOW NODE
command, the number of messages retransmitted
to that remote node.
Illegal messages The total number of invalidly formatted LAT
received messages received by the local node. If you
specify a remote node with the SHOW NODE
command, the number of invalidly formatted
messages the local node received from that
remote node. Illegal messages are grouped into
several types of protocol errors, which are
listed at the end of this table.
Illegal slots The total number of invalidly formatted LAT
received slots received by the local node. If you
specify a remote node with the SHOW NODE
command, the number of invalidly formatted
slots the local node received from that remote
node.
Solicitations The total number of times a remote node
accepted accepted solicitations from the local node. If
you specify a remote node with the SHOW NODE
command, the number of accepted solicitations
by that remote node.
Solicitations The total number of times a remote node
rejected rejected solicitation from the local node. If
you specify a remote node with the SHOW NODE
command, the number of rejected solicitations
by that remote node.
Solicitation The total number of times solicitations by the
failures local node received no response.
Transmit errors The total number of times the data link failed
to transmit a LAT message.
Last transmit The most recent transmit error.
error
Virtual circuit The total number of times a LAT circuit to
timeouts another node timed out, indicating that the
remote node failed to send a valid message
in the required time span. If you specify a
remote node with the SHOW NODE command, the
number of times the local node timed out from
a connection to that remote node.
Discarded output The total number of data bytes that were
bytes discarded because of an overflow of an
internal buffer before the data could be
output to an LTA device.
User data lost The total number of times LTDRIVER failed to
allocate resources to buffer session data.
User data is lost and the session is stopped.
Resource errors The number of times LTDRIVER was unable to
allocate system resources.
Incoming solicits The total number of times the local node
accepted accepted solicitations from other nodes.
Incoming solicits The total number of times the local node
rejected rejected solicitations from other nodes.
The protocol errors that are counted as illegal messages are as
follows. These protocol error messages are displayed if their
associated counter is greater than zero:
o Invalid message type received
o Invalid start message received
o Invalid sequence number received in start message
o Zero-node index received
o Node circuit index out of range
o Node circuit sequence invalid
o Node circuit index no longer valid
o Circuit was forced to halt
o Invalid server slot index
o Invalid node slot index
o Invalid credit field or too many credits used
o Repeat creation of slot by server
o Repeat disconnection of slot by master
4 /FULL
Displays the node's status, identification string, LAT protocol
version, and the values of the node's characteristics. This is
the default except when you specify the /ALL qualifier.
5 /STATUS
Displays statistical information for parameters such as the
number of active circuits, sessions, and incoming queue entries.
For each parameter, the display shows the current value, the
highest value recorded, and the maximum value allowed.
Note that you can specify the /STATUS qualifier with the SHOW
NODE command to display information about the local node only
(for example, the command SHOW NODE /STATUS FOREIGN_NODE is not
supported).
