onstat -g nif: Print statistics about the network interface

Prints statistics about the network interface.

The output shows which sites are connected and provides a summary of the number of bytes sent and received by each site. This can help you determine if a site is not sending or receiving bytes.

The onstat -g nif option is used primarily as a debugging tool and by HCL Software Support.

Example Output

The following example shows output for the onstat -g nif command. In this example, the local server is connected to the server group g_bombay and its CDR ID is 200. The connection status is running. The connection between the two servers is running, but the replication state on the g_bombay server is suspended. The server group g_bombay internal NIF version is 9. The local server has sent three messages to the server g_bombay and it has received two messages from g_bombay.
