Web-based TCP/IP Monitoring

In NetWare^® 6.5, tcpstats.nlm has been introduced to provide access to this information from a web browser. This nlm is a snap-in to portal.nlm.

The statistics are the same as those provided by tcpcon.nlm. You can also view debugging information for tcp.nlm, tcpip.nlm, and netlib.nlm.

To view the tcpstats.nlm information using Novell^® Remote Manager (NRM), do the following:

1. Connect from any Web browser to a server running portal.nlm and tcpstats.nlm using the http://Server_name:8008.

   If there is no DNS entry for the server, the IP address should be given instead of the Server_name.

2. In the left pane, click Manage Applications > Protocol Information.

   The General Protocol Information page displays.

      The Protocol Statistics Monitoring - TCP page displays the configuration information and statistics for the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP).

      Similarly, you can also see details of the following protocols:

      • UDP---User Datagram Protocol (UDP) statistics.

      • ICMP---Configuration information and statistics for the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP).

      • OSPF---Configuration information and statistics for the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol.

      • EGP---Configuration information and statistics for the Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP).

      
      Statistics

      1. Click the TCPIP.NLM link under the Statistics section.

         Figure 50

      The Protocol Statistics Monitoring - TCPIP.NLM Debug Information page displays the debugging information and statistics for TCPIP.NLM.

      Similarly, you can also see details of the following files:

      • TCP.NLM---Debugging information and statistics for TCP.NLM.

      • BSDSOCK.NLM Debug Information---Debugging information and statistics for BSDSOCK.NLM.

      • NETLIB.NLM Debug Information---Debugging information and statistics for NETLIB.NLM.

   HINT:  Each page has an online help which gives detailed information about the statistics displayed on that page.
