44 Chapter 5 Application View What Is in This Chapter This chapter describes the Wellfleet Series 5 Router Management Module Application view. This view provides buttons that allow you to access increasingly detailed information about the applications supported by these devices. Application-Specific Views The Application view allows you to view information on any standard MIB application supported by the Wellfleet Series 5 Router being modeled. Each application appears as an icon or a list entry in the Application view. SPECTRUM management of a Wellfleet Series 5 Router is based on common and device-specific applications, which fall into three general categories: Routing, MIB-II, and TFTP. The following common applications and subapplications are discussed in the Application View Reference: Routing - IP (IPRtrApp) MIB-II - System (System2_App) - TCP (TCP2_App) - UDP (UDP2_App) - ICMP (ICMP_App) E7 Application View 5-1

45 Accessing the Application View Device-specific applications and sub-applications discussed in this chapter include the following: Routing - AppleTalk (wf5appletlkapp) - DECnet (wf5decnetapp) - IPX (wf5ipxapp) - XNS (wf5xnsapp) TFTP (wf5tftpapp) Accessing the Application View The Application view is accessed using one of the following methods: Double-click on the Application view label of the device icon. Application view label Highlight the device icon and select Application from the Icon Subviews menu. Go Back Go Up Icon Subviews View Path New View Bookmarks View History Current View Info... Notes... Jump by name... Zoom Map Hierarchy Device DevTop Application Acknowledge Flash Green Enabled Configuration Model Information Primary Application The Application view can be displayed in two modes; the icon mode and the list mode. Select Mode -> List or Mode -> Icon from the View menu. An example of an Application view in the icon mode is shown in Figure 5-1. An example of the same Application view in the list mode is shown in Figure 5-2. Application View 5-2 Wellfleet Series 5 Router

AppleTalk Detail View You can access the AppleTalk Detail view by selecting Detail from the Icon Subviews menu. The AppleTalk Detail view provides you with two color-coded pie charts. Table 5-1 and Table 5-2 provide the AppleTalk Detail information displayed by each pie chart. Application View 5-4 Wellfleet Series 5 Router

48 Wellfleet Routing Applications AppleTalk Configuration View Table 5-1. Packet Breakdown Pie Chart Statistic Delivered Forwarded Transmitted Discards Definition AppleTalk packets delivered to a higher level protocol. AppleTalk packets forwarded. AppleTalk packets transmitted. AppleTalk packets discarded. Table 5-2. Discard Breakdown Pie Chart Statistic Hop Count Checksum Unknown Network Definition The number of hops to reach destination area. The total number of DDP (Datagram Delivery Protocol) packets discarded by this entity because they contained an incorrect DDP checksum. The total number of DDP packets discarded by this entity because the destination network to which the packet was directed was unknown. AppleTalk Configuration View The AppleTalk Configuration view provides configuration information for the router s AppleTalk process. You can access the AppleTalk Configuration view by selecting Configuration from the Icon Subviews menu. The AppleTalk Configuration view provides the following information: Station Routing Indicates whether this entity is routing (for example, forwarding) AppleTalk datagrams. 1 signifies forwarding, 0 not forwarding. Station Version The version number of the AppleTalk protocol supported by this entity (for example, Wellfleet supports Version 2.)
