Viewing Network Addresses


This task describes how to view all the network addresses. Along with the local address, it provides the protocol version in use, the remote address, the sizes of the send window and send queue, the sizes of the receive window and receive queue, and the internal state of the address.

To View Network Addresses

  1. Access the NETWORK application instance menu as described in Accessing KM Commands and InfoBoxes.
  2. Select List Network Addresses. BMC PATROL writes the results to a BMC PATROL task object, List Network Addresses, in the NETWORK container.
  3. Access the List Network Addresses task object as described in Accessing KM Commands and InfoBoxes and view the results. Your results should resemble this example:
# PSL Serial No.: ##########
<NOT INTERACTIVE>

Field

Description

TCP

The version of TCP/IP

Local Address

Local address expressed as a number

Remote Address

Remote address expressed as a number

Swind

Size of the send window in bytes

Send-Q

The count of bytes not acknowledged by the remote host

Rwind

Size of the receive window in bytes

Recv-Q

The count of bytes not copied by the user program connected to this socket

State

Internal state of the socket

ESTABLISHED – Established connection

SYN_SENT – Actively attempting to establish a connection

SYN_RECV – Being initialized. 

FIN_WAIT1 – Closed, and the connection is shutting down

FIN_WAIT2 – Closed, and the socket is waiting for a shutdown from the remote end

TIME_WAIT – Waiting after close for remote shutdown retransmission

CLOSED – Not being used

CLOSE_WAIT – The remote end has shut down, waiting for the socket to close

LAST_ACK – The remote end shut down, the socket is closed, and waiting for acknowledgement

LISTEN – Listening for incoming connections

CLOSING – Both sockets are shut down but all the data sent has not been sent

UNKNOWN – State is unknown

Active UNIX Domain Sockets

Address

Address of the socket

Type

Types of socket (values vary based on platform for instance stream can be represented as SOCKET_STREAM on Linux and Stream_ord on Solaris)

  • dgram – The socket is used in Datagram (connectionless) mode
  • stream – A stream (connection) socket
  • raw – A raw socket
  • rdm – Serves reliably-delivered messages
  • seqpacket – A sequential packet socket
  • packet – A RAW interface access socket
  • unknown – Unable to identify socket type

Vnode
