The Ring Order application gives you information about both the partici-
pating and non-participating stations on the ring. With this feature, you
can determine which stations are currently active on the ring and which
stations were active at one time and have been dropped out or been
removed from the ring.
When you choose Ring Status…, NetMetrix displays a table of statistics.
Information from each data source is shown in its own table. The window
title indicates the name or address of the data source.
Stations are shown in the order that the token was passed around the
ring.
The table contains the following columns.
MAC Address Indicates the MAC address of the ring station.
(A) Identifies the Active Monitor on the ring, which is always first in the
list.
(B) Identifies the most recent station to issue a beacon frame.
Name, IP or Vendor Shows the IP address or domain name of the ring station or the vendor
that manufactured the device.
Last NAUN Indicates the MAC address of the Nearest Active Upstream Neighbor
(NAUN) station.
Status Indicates whether the status of the ring station is 1:active,
2:inactive, or 3:forced removal. If you sort on this column (using
View➤Sort…), you can separate the active and inactive stations.
