fddi path maxTreq Specifies the maximum time value (in microseconds) of fddiMACT-Req
that is used by any MAC that is configured in this path. T-Req is the value
that a MAC bids during the claim process to determine a ring’s
operational token rotation time, T_Opr. The lowest T-Req bid on the ring
becomes T_Opr.
Valid Minimum Abbreviation
fd pa m
Important Considerations
■When you set T_Opr low, the token rotates more quickly, so token
latency is reduced. However, more of the ring’s available bandwidth is
used to circulate the token.
■Higher values of T_Opr use less bandwidth to circulate the token, but
they increase token latency when the ring is saturated.
■You can use this command to configure the same setting on m ultiple
ports simultaneously. When you specify multiple port numbers, the
system prompts you to choose the setting and then applies it to all of
the ports.
