WAN Primary Link Frame Relay Parameters
The WAN Frame Relay Parameters are:.
Setting Definition
LMI Type Lets users set the type of link management protocol used on this link.
This value must match the corresponding value set in the Frame Relay
service provider’s switch. Permitted values are ANSI, LMI, and
CCITT. The default setting is ANSI.
Polling Interval Lets users set a value, in seconds, as an interval between LMI status
inquiry messages. This value must match the corresponding value set in
the Frame Relay provider’s switch. Permitted values are between 5-30
(in seconds). The default setting is 10.
Full Enquiry Interval Lets users set the maximum number of LMI Status Enquiry messages
sent before sending a Full Status Enquiry request. This value must
match the corresponding value set in the Frame Relay provider’s
switch. Permitted values are between 1 and 255 (in seconds). The
default setting is 6.
Error Threshold Lets users set the maximum number of consecutive failures permitted
in LMI Status Enquiry before marking the link non-operational. It is
also the number of successful consecutive LMI Status Enquiry
messages that must be received before marking a link as operational.
Permitted values are between 0 and MAXINT. The default setting is 3.
Monitored Events Lets users set the number of events sampled for making decisions about
the error threshold. Set the number higher than the values set in the
error threshold. Permitted values are a number between 0 and
MAXINT. The default setting is 4.
DS Code Lets users set the differentiated services code (DSCode) recognized by
the frame relay driver for prioritization. This value is used as a mask
value. When an IP packet is sent down, the frame-relay driver checks if
the packet's DSCode field (known as TOS byte in earlier documents)
has any of the bits specified in this field set (a bitwise AND operation is
performed between this field's value and the DSCode field of the IP
packet and the result is checked for 0). If any of the bits is set (result is
non-zero), the frame relay network is signaled to handle this packet
with priority by clearing the 'D/E' (discard eligibility) bit in the frame
relay packet header. If none of the bits specified in this field are set in
the IP packet header, 'D/E' bit is set in the frame-relay packet header,
marking the packet as a likely candidate for packet drop in case of
congestion in the frame relay network.
This field's value carries the same semantics as the 'differentiated
services codepoint' discussed in RFC2474. The least significant two
bits are ignored.
Compression Enabled
PVCs
Lists PVCs on which compression is enabled. If the compression field
is Disabled, the field does not have any meaning. If the compression
level Enabled, compression and decompression are performed on the
data going to and coming from the PVCs in this list.
The value can be a comma-separated list of DLCI numbers. You can
specify a range of DLCIs by specifying the lower and upper boundaries
by a hyphen. You can mix individual numbers and ranges.
