ESF (Extended Service Frame)
These frames are implementation dependent. An ESF frame can be an
announcement, a request, or a response.
PMF (Parameter Management Frame)
These frames are used to access remote station attributes. The Parameter
Management Protocol supports both
get (display) and set (modify) functions;
however, the pf_smtmon utility can display only PMF_get frames. A PMF_get
frame can be either a request or a response.
Filtering Output from pf_smtmon
By default, pf_smtmon displays all of the SMT frames received by the local
station. You can filter the output generated by pf_smtmon by specifying one or
more frame classes on the command-line: nif , sif_config , sif_operat ,
ecf , rdf , esf , pmf_get .
For example:
♦ To display only the RDF frames received by interface pf0 , type:
♦ To display the SIF configuration and SIF operation frames received by
interface pf1 , type:
♦ To display the NIF frames, SIF configuration frames, and SIF operation
frames received by interface pf1 , type:
# /pf_smtmon rdf
# /pf_smtmon —i pf1 sif_config sif_operat
# /pf_smtmon —i pf1 nif sif_config sif_operat
