This chapter describes AtmDirector features you use to obtain ATM-VLAN status information for client, LE server/broadcast server, and configuration server components.
The Client Status Parameters window provides status and configuration summaries as well as control VC status and control timer values for a client.
To monitor status and control parameters for a client, follow these steps:
Step 1 From the AtmDirector main window, double-click on the name of an ATM-VLAN to display the ATM-VLAN topology.
Step 2 Select a client from the ATM-VLAN topology map.
Step 3 Select Diagnosis>Client>Status/Control Params or right-click on a client component and select Status/Control Parameters from the popup menu.
The Client Status Parameters window opens (Figure 10-1). The information in this window is described in Table 10-1.
Figure 10-1: Client Status Parameters Window
Step 4 Click OK when you have read the client status.

The Client ARP Information window displays the LE_ARP table for a selected client. The LE_ARP table is a list of clients known to the client that allows the client to find those clients without first contacting the LE server.
To monitor the LE_ARP information for an client, follow these steps:
Step 1 From the AtmDirector main window, double-click on the name of an ATM-VLAN to display the ATM-VLAN topology.
Step 2 Select a client from the ATM-VLAN topology map.
Step 3 Select Diagnosis>Client>Client ARP Information.
The Client ARP Information window opens (Figure 10-2). The information shown in this window is described in Table 10-2.
Figure 10-2: Client ARP Information Window
Step 4 Click OK when you have read the client ARP information.

The LE Server Status window provides status information for the selected LE server, including details of join and registration failures.
To monitor the status of an LE server, follow these steps:
Step 1 From the AtmDirector main window, double-click on the name of an ATM-VLAN to display the ATM-VLAN topology.
Step 2 Select an LE server from the ATM-VLAN topology map.
Step 3 Select Diagnosis>Server>LE Server Status and Parameters or right-click on an LE server component and select Status/Control Parameters from the popup menu.
The LE Server Status Parameters window opens (Figure 10-3). The information in this window is described in Table 10-3.

The Configuration Server List window shows a list of configuration servers as seen by the various LANE components in the ATM-VLAN. Configuration server addresses are typically configured on ATM switches so that when an edge device (client, LE server, or configuration server) is connected to a switch, it can exchange the configuration server address via ILMI and then contact the configuration server for the information it needs to join the ATM-VLAN. The configuration server list also serves as the criterion for deciding between the master and backup configuration server
To display the configuration server list, follow these steps.
Step 1 From the AtmDirector main window, double-click on the name of an ATM-VLAN to display the ATM-VLAN topology.
Step 2 Select a LANE component from the ATM-VLAN topology map.
Step 3 Select Diagnosis>Config Server Addresses.
The Config Server List window opens (Figure 10-4). The information in this window is described in Table 10-4.
