Chapter 3: Terminal Menu Operation and Structure

RIP/Retain

Write security: 3; Read security: 5

When this Connection List entry is disconnected and this parameter is set to Yes, all routes learned from this WAN connection are retained and their rout- ing interface is set to idle. This permits dial-on-demand to occur using this profile for any IP network that might have been advertised by the particular

PPPpeer. The idle routes can be flushed or “zombied” from the routing table if a manual hangup is performed when this WAN connection is not active. See Dial/Hang Up on page 89. When this Connection List entry is disconnected and this parameter is set to No (def), routes learned from this session are “zom- bied” and are not retained.

Connection List/IPX

The IPX menu contains the parameters for exchanging IPX data with the PPP peer.

IPX/Mode

Write security: 3; Read security: 5

Setting to On (def) will permit this connection profile to negotiate PPP IPXCP with the PPP peer for exchanging of IPX packets.

IPX/Remote Network

Write security: 3; Read security: 5

A non-zero value in this remote network number will allow the Express XL/ XLT to add a route to the PPP peer’s network to the routing table.

The Express XL/XLT normally will treat the WAN network as an unnum- bered link. This is usually referred to as being a “half-router.” However, a

PPPpeer which wants to assign a network address to the WAN link can do so, in which case the Express XL/XLT will go into “full-router” mode.

IPX/Triggered

Write security: 3; Read security: 5

When set to Yes, only IPX RIP and SAP updates are sent when the routing or service table has changed and learned routes are not “aged.” When set to No (def), updates are sent periodically based on the RIP and SAP timers set in Configuration/IPX/RIP Timer and Configuration/IPX/SAP Timer.

Express XLT, Express XL specifications

ADTRAN has established itself as a leading provider of telecommunications solutions, and among its impressive lineup, the ADTRAN Express XL and Express XLT stand out as robust offerings designed for the evolving demands of modern networks. These devices cater to service providers and enterprises looking to enhance their broadband delivery capabilities while ensuring cost-efficiency and reliability.

The ADTRAN Express XL is a high-capacity, next-generation fiber optic access platform. It is engineered to support a wide array of technologies, including Passive Optical Network (PON) standards such as GPON and XGSPON. The Express XL's architecture allows for seamless scalability, making it a perfect fit for both small-scale deployments and expansive network rollouts. What sets it apart is its ability to deliver ultra-fast broadband services to residential, business, and mobile backhaul customers with its impressive throughput capabilities.

On the other hand, the Express XLT builds upon the success of the Express XL by incorporating advanced features aimed at maximizing operational efficiency. It supports technologies including Active Ethernet and offers flexible network configurations to meet specific service requirements. Both models utilize ADTRAN’s innovative Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation technology, which dynamically allocates bandwidth to users based on real-time demand, ensuring optimal performance and user satisfaction.

A key characteristic of both ADTRAN Express XL and XLT is their energy efficiency. Designed to minimize operational costs, these units use power-saving technologies that reduce energy consumption without compromising performance. Furthermore, they include built-in support for network functions virtualization (NFV) and software-defined networking (SDN), providing operators with the agility to adapt their networks in response to changing market conditions.

In addition to their advanced technological underpinnings, the Express XL and XLT boast an intuitive management interface, simplifying network monitoring and management tasks. They also feature comprehensive telemetry and analytics capabilities that help operators gain insights into network performance, optimize configurations, and troubleshoot potential issues before they affect end users.

Ultimately, the ADTRAN Express XL and Express XLT are pivotal components for service providers aiming to deliver high-speed broadband services effectively. With their blend of flexibility, scalability, and energy efficiency, these access platforms are well-positioned to meet the current and future demands of telecommunications networks worldwide.
