log events for SX25

[Sockeel]

Hi,
Is there any way to log events about SX25L2 and SX25L3 ?
I tried "nettl -l w e -e SX25L2 SX25L3" without any effect in "nettl -status all" (HPUX 11.00)
Thanks for answers

The links indicate that nettl is the tool to use.

So, I'd check and see if nettl and the stm tools, part of Online Diagnostics are up to date.

I recommend checking the patch database on nettl:
http://www1.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/mainPage.do

and http://software.hp.com on the Online Diagnostics.

Staying current is very important to good results.

Phillippe,

You may try also to use strace as per the doc:
http://docs.hp.com/en/J2793-90046/ch07s04.html

The strace command collects logging event messages from X.25 level 3 and X.25 level 2 STREAMS modules and writes them to standard output.

Syntax: strace mod sub pri,
where mod is the module (200 for X25 L3, 201 for X25 L2)
sub is the network id (equal to 0x30 + card #), for instance 0x30 for X25_0 (see dc for multi port)

pri is for priority levels. See details in the doc above again.

Hope this helps,

Marie-Noelle

I believe that those two entities are only used for nettl tracing, the function that records the actual traffic passing into and out of a link. Even that varies somewhat depending on which X.25 product you use.

Both work for the 1, 2, and 4 port "PSI" cards.

The x25stat utility is the most useful for seeing the link status with these cards. The programming manual also has sample code that can detect a "link down" condition and retry.


Only SX25L3 works for "ACC" cards, which usually have 8 ports.

This product has a pretty good loggin function that records to "*.tlog" files in /var/opt/acc/log directory.

Hope this helps.
