DLC Error Log
Each DLC provides entries to the system error log whenever errors are encountered.
To call the kernel error collector, use the errsave kernel service.
The error conditions are reported by the system-product error log using the error log daemon (errdemon).
The user can obtain formatted error-log data by issuing the errpt command. When used with the -N DLCName flag, the errpt command produces a summary report of all the error log entries for the resource name indicated by the DLCName parameter. Valid values for the DLCName parameter include:
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| SYSXDLCE | Indicates a Standard Ethernet datalink. |
| SYSXDLCI | Indicates an IEEE 802.3 Ethernet datalink. |
| SYSXDLCT | Indicates a token-ring datalink. |
| SYSXDLCS | Indicates an synchronous data link control (SDLC) datalink. |
