4ETHERMON, Networking, Ethernet line activity monitorCETHERMON is a software implementation of an Ethernet line activity Bmonitor. It uses any VAX/VMS DEC-compatible Ethernet interface to Fcollect the data, and reports statistics in a form similar to the VMS GMONITOR utility. It also can collect Ethernet data for post-processing Lby a user-supplied offline program (sample programs are supplied). ETHERMON Ican determine symbolic identifications of remote nodes automatically, or Dhave them defined manually; these symbolic identifications are used Jin ETHERMON's displays and reports. ETHERMON can also recognize equipment !other than DEC's on the Ethernet.HETHERMON.COM is the build file; the documentation is stored in the filesGETHERMON.PS (PostScript), ETHERMON.LN0 (DEC LN03), ETHERMON.LPT ("dumb"Iline printer or plain-text), and ETHERMON.MSS (Scribe manuscript source).GThe on-line help library ETHERMON.HLB must be in the same directory as GETHERMON.EXE when executing the program in order for the built-in HELP Kcommand to work. A full file manifest is given in section 2.1 of the user'smanual.HETHERMON's executable can be run either by a foreign command definition Ior a DCL RUN command. The unsupported utilities are to be invoked by RUN Gcommand only (they do not check the command line for their parameters).JA protected shareable image must be compiled and linked under your currentIversion of VAX/VMS and installed by your system administrator before use;Bplease see section 2.2 of the user's manual before using ETHERMON.HThese files were compiled and linked using VAX FORTRAN V5.3 and VAX/VMS IV5.2-1. Naturally, the executables will not run on an earlier version of #VMS; feel free to rebuild the code.FIf you have any questions or comments, the author's address is in the Juser's manual. I welcome comments regarding bugs and possible improvementsIfor ETHERMON, although I cannot promise to add every feature you ask for."Thank you for trying this program.+Andrew Pavlin, TCP/IP network administrator6General Electric Co., Aerospace Information TechnologySyracuse, NY 13221 U.S.A.email: pavlin@syr.ge.comvoice: 1-315-456-6212fax: 1-315-456-0956+(information current as of 29 October 1992)
