Network Protocol

The NUK_Network application class enables you to discover which protocols are currently running on the network and view protocol-specific statistics, such as the number of incoming datagrams for UDP, the number of failed attempts for TCP, and incoming deliveries for IPV4. It also provides you the ability to view the IP Address of an individual host.

The NUK_Network tasks related to network protocols are described in detail on the following topics:

Listing Protocols Running on the Network

This task describes how to list which network protocols are running on the network.

To List Network Protocols

Access the NUK_Network_Container application instance menu.
Select TCP/IP > List Protocols. BMC PATROL writes the results to a BMC PATROL task object (List Protocols) in the NUK_Network_Container.
Access the List Protocols task object and view the results. Your results should resemble this example:

# PSL Serial No.: ##########

Viewing Protocol Statistics

This task displays the statistics for each protocol layer.

To View Protocol Statistics

Access the NUK_Network_Container application instance menu.
Select Show Protocol Statistics. BMC PATROL writes the results to a BMC PATROL task object (Show Protocol Statistics) in the NUK_Network_Container.
Access the Show Protocol Statistics task object and view the results. Your results should list each protocol ( RAWIP, UDP, TCP, IPV4, and so on) and provide per-protocol statistics.

Determining the Network Internet Protocol Address

This task describes how to determine the Network IP address.

To Determine the Network IP Address

Access the NUK_Network application instance InfoBox. BMC PATROL displays the NUK_Network InfoBox, which provides the name to the network interface protocol address in the IP Address field.
