Entering watch-aui causes this automatic selection to take place. You may
see these messages:
You may also control the selection of Ethernet interfaces to monitor by using
specific commands. Use watch-tpe to monitor the 10BASE-T (TPE)
connection or watch-aui to monitor the 10BASE5 (thick Ethernet) connection.
For example:
The watch-net-all command monitors Ethernet packets on any Ethernet
interface installed in the system. For example, if you have an SBus Ethernet
card installed in one of the system SBus slots, watch-net-all will start by
monitoring Ethernet transmissions detected by that card.
When you interrupt the test on that interface by pressing any key,
watch-net-all then goes on to test the next Ethernet interface it finds
in the system.
ok watch-aui
Using AUI Ethernet Interface
Lance register test -- succeeded
Internal loopback test -- succeeded
External loopback test -- Lost Carrier (transceiver cable
problem?) send failed.
ok
ok watch-tpe
Using TP Ethernet Interface
Lance register test -- succeeded
Internal loopback test -- succeeded
External loopback test -- succeeded
Looking for Ethernet packets.
’.’ is a good packet. "X" is a bad packet.
Type any key to stop.
