snapshot [node node-id] [ncl-module] all counters The snapshot function saves the counters' values and displays those values. After the snapshot command is issued, the show command can be used to display a comparison of the current values and the registered values at later times. On OpenVMS snapshot information is only retained for the duration of an NCL session. Therefore, the snapshot command and subsequent show commands must be issued at the NCL> prompt rather than at the DCL prompt. To gather snapshot information from a remote node, you can either set the ncl default to the remote node entity or include the nodename in each ncl command, as long as the commands are issued within the same NCL session. Example: $ mcr ncl NCL> snapshot csma station csmacd-1 all count NCL> show csma station csmacd-1 all count
