Networks

The network statistics are also a submenu option within the IPX router statistics. This table provides more extensive information on a static route (remote station). It has the following layout:

Remote site Network Binding Propagate Backoff Time Node ID
Logical remote station Network address Binding Route /Filter Connection counter Time remaining until next connection Node-ID of remote station

The different entries have the following meaning:

Remote site Logical name of the remote station as it is entered in the routing table. An entry for the LAN link is also present; it is located in the first position in the table and has the name 'LAN'.
Network Address of the network in which the remote station is located. For remote WAN stations, this corresponds to the entry in the routing table. If the autodetect function is configured in the IPX routing table (/SETUP/IPX-MODULE/LAN-CONFIGURATION/NETWORK), the network that was detected is displayed here.
Binding Ethernet binding to which the remote station is linked. For remote WAN stations, this corresponds to the entry in the routing table. If the autodetect function is configured in the IPX routing table (/SETUP/IPX-MODULE/LAN-CONFIGURATION/NETWORK), the binding that was detected is displayed here.
Propagate Filter flag for IPX frames type 20 (propagated). For remote WAN stations, this corresponds to the entry in the routing table. For the LAN, a route is always entered here.
Backoff Connection counter for the exponential backoff algorithm. When the connection counter reaches a value of 16, no more attempts are made, meaning that the route is deactivated (also possible for the LAN).
Time Time remaining (specified in seconds) until the next connection attempt is made by the exponential backoff algorithm. When a connection has been successfully established, the remaining time is set to zero, thus activating the route.
Node ID Node ID of the responsible router in the WAN network. The node ID of the router is entered here for the LAN entry.
