Function

Display status information about the AdeptNet option. Also display details about the remote mounts that are currently defined in the V+ system.

Parameter

mode Additional error-count information is displayed if this optional parameter has a value of 1.

Details

This command displays information about the network service protocols that are currently installed and are available. These include AdeptTCP/IP, AdeptNFS, and AdeptFTP. The command also displays the local IP address.

There can be any one of four states (three in the case of AdeptFTP):

State message	Explanation
Up	For AdeptTCP/IP and AdeptNFS, this indicates that the network has initialized successfully and is running.
Option installed	The software option is installed, but the protocol is not currently active. (In V+ versions prior to V+ 11.2G1 the message Initializing was used.)
Hardware not installed	The Ethernet card is not installed or an Ethernet cable is not connected.
Option not installed	The AdeptNet option (FTP, NFS, TCP/IP) is not installed.

If NFS or TCP is in the Up state, additional information is also displayed as shown in the following example.

Example

With the AdeptNFS option installed, typing net produces the following display on the monitor screen:

TCP/IP	:  Up
   NFS:  Up
   FTP:  Option not installed 

These messages indicate that the TCP/IP and NFS layers of the network are fully functioning and that the FTP option is not installed.

In addition, if TCP is in the Up state, the following appears:

Local IP address	 			 			address 
Packets transmitted			 	 			count 
Packets received				 			count 
Transmission errors				 			count 
Reception errors				 			count 
Missed packets 				 			count 

where address is a dotted-decimal IP address and count is a number. The following additional output is displayed only if mode = 1.

Reception framing error 	 						 count 
Reception CRC error							 count 
Reception overflow:							 count 
Reception buffer error							 count 
Transmission late collision							 count 
Transmission loss of carrier 							 count 
Transmission retry error							 count 
Transmission buffer error/underflow	 count
 

The number of available TCP connections is displayed.

In addition, if NFS is in the Up state, the current mount definitions appear in this format:

Mount				Node						Path
D1				SERVER1						/c 

This indicates that the name D1 is allocated to a remote server disk. The server is the node called SERVER1. The path of the remote server disk is given in server-native syntax as /c.
