Do Network Management Interface (NMI) Summary records contain active Enterprise Extender (EE) connections only?

If an EE connection INOPs and the EE PU (Physical Unit) goes to CONCT (connectable) state, it will not be reported as an active EE connection in response to either an EE Summary Request or an EE Connection Request. That is, it will not be counted in either of these fields on an EE Summary Response:

• EESumIP_Num_Active_Total_Conns

• EESumIP_Num_Active_PreDefined_Conns

In addition, there will be no data reported for it on an EE Connection Response. However, if the PU is redialed manually or automatically with DWINOP (Dial When INOP) and goes to PREQC (Pending REquest Contacted) state because the other side is not responding, although it will still not be counted as an active connection on an EE Summary Response, it will be reported as a connection on an EE Connection Response.

This does not mean that the connection is active. The field EEConnS_Connection_Act_TOD is the indicator for whether the connection is active or not. When this field is all zeros, the connection has not been activated. Once it has been activated, this field will contain a valid time stamp.

In addition, the data counts should only be nonzero for the following fields when the connection is in PREQC:

• EEConnS_SNA_Bytes_Sent_Sig
  

• EEConnS_NLP_Out_Info_Sig
  

• EEConnS_NLPOut_Rxmt_Info_Sig
  

• EEConnS_SNA_Bytes_Sent_All
  

• EEConnS_NLP_Out_Info_All
  

• EEConnS_NLPOut_Rxmt_Info_All

All of the other byte count fields (including all of the Inbound byte counts) will be zero.
