RouteFinder MTASR1-100 User Guide
Frame Relay DLCI
The Frame Relay DLCI dialog box initially displays a default DLCI that is mapped to a default IP address, STP WAN Number, a CIR setting of 56K, a Be of zero, and the mode set to Adhere to CIR.
Before you add new DLCIs, you have to add logical WANs to the IP port.
To add a new DLCI Number, enter the number in the DLCI window. You do not have to enter the leading zeros. When you click the Add button, the new DLCI appears in the Configured DLCI’s window. When you highlight the new DLCI, a default CIR, Be, and a mode of Adhere to CIR is displayed.
You can now map the new DLCI to a protocol stack and frame relay parameters (i.e., CIR, Be, and Mode). To map a DLCI to a protocol stack, highlight the DLCI number in the Configured DLCI window. The Protocol Stacks Mapped group becomes active. Click on the protocol stack you wish to map the DLCI to and then click the down arrow for that protocol and address/network numbers for the protocol are displayed. Select the address/network number you wish to map to the new DLCI.
The frame relay parameters in the Settings (in Bits/second) and Mode groups have to coincide with how the frame relay access is provisioned. You will probably have to delete the default values and reenter your provisioned values.
The Mode and CIR/Be settings are used to avoid possible loss of data. Mode settings determine how the RouteFinder handles congestion. The Mode selects whether the RouteFinder should use its own throughput calculations to avoid congestion, or simply send data to the network as fast as possible.
The RouteFinder calculates throughput after every CIR Measurement Interval, and can limit throughput to either the CIR (Adhere to CIR) or the CIR plus the Be (Adhere to CIR+Be).
