Chapter 8. Packet Manager

PACKET ENDPNTS

The PACKET ENDPNTS menu defines, monitors, and tests a packet endpoint.

 

Submenus include STATUS, PERFORMANCE, CONFIG, TEST, ENDPNT COUNT,

 

and ENDPNTS SORT.

STATUS

STATUS submenus display the status of each packet endpoint including the

 

packet endpoint name (ENDPNT NAME), the protocol type (PROT), the signal-

 

ing role (SIG ROLE), the signaling type (SIG TYPE), the signaling state (SIG

 

STATE), and the connections (CURRENT PORT). The following sections dis-

 

cuss each of these fields.

ENDPNT NAME

Read Security: 5

 

Displays the packet endpoint name as defined in the PACKET ENDPNTS/

 

CONFIG MENU (also see Config on page 8-6).

PROT

Read Security: 5

 

Displays the layer 2 protocol that this packet endpoint terminates. FR indi-

 

cates that this packet endpoint is configured for frame relay. TBOP indi-

 

cates that this packet endpoint is configured for Transparent Bit Oriented

 

Protocol (TBOP).

SIG ROLE

Read Security: 5

 

Displays the frame relay signaling role for this packet endpoint. The

 

selections include OFF, UNKNOWN, NETWORK, USER, and BOTH.

 

OFF

 

Indicates that the endpoint is configured so that it does not use signaling.

 

UNKNOWN

 

Indicates that the endpoint is configured to auto-detect the role, but has not

 

yet done so.

 

NETWORK

 

Indicates that the endpoint is acting as the network end of a UNI link.

 

USER

 

Indicates that the endpoint is acting as one end of a UNI link.

 

BOTH

 

Indicates that the endpoint is acting as one end of an NNI link.

SIG TYPE

Read Security: 5

 

Displays the frame relay signaling type used on this packet endpoint. Selec-

 

tions include UNKNOWN, ANNEX A, ANNEX D, and LMI.

 

UNKNOWN

 

Indicates that the endpoint is configured to auto-detect the signaling stan-

 

dard to use, but has not yet done so.
