3 Enter the path (

= primary, 

= secondary).

See the following example of path information:

Table 8-3 describes these statistics.

The tvxLowerBound attribute specifies the minimum time value of fddiMAC 
TvxValue that will be used by any MAC that is configured onto this path. A 
MAC uses its valid transmission timer (TVX) to detect and recover from 
certain ring errors. If a valid frame has not passed through a MAC during the 
time indicated by fddiMACTvxValue, the MAC reinitializes the ring. 

By adjusting the tvxLowerBound value, you specify how quickly the ring 
recovers from an error. The lower you set this value, the faster the network 
reacts to problems, but the ring might be reinitialized when there is no 
problem. The higher you set this value, the less chance of frequent 
reinitializations, but the network will take longer to recover from errors.

Table 8-3   Description of Fields for FDDI Path Attributes 

maxTReq

Maximum time value of fddiMACT-Req that will be used by any 
MAC that is configured in this path. This value can be user-defined.

ringLatency

Total accumulated latency of the ring associated with this path

tmaxLowBound

Minimum time value of fddiMACT-Max that will be used by any 
MAC that is configured in this path. This value can be user-defined.

traceStatus

Current Trace status of the path

tvxLowBound

Minimum time value of fddiMACTvxValue that will be used by any 
MAC that is configured in this path. This value can be user-defined.
