6) Error Threshold N392/nN2
The number of DLCMI protocol errors that will be tolerated before determining the Frame
Relay line is down and all associated virtual circuits are inactive. These errors may include
timeouts from STATUS ENQUIRY polls and invalid STATUS messages returned from the Frame
Relay network. By default, this threshold is set to 3, which is the standard Frame Relay default
value.
♦ Important Note ♦
This option should only be modified by experienced
Frame Relay network administrators.
7) Monitored Events Counter N393/nN3
The number of status polling intervals over which the Error Threshold is counted. This value
should be greater than or equal to the Error Threshold. If the station received the number of
errors specified in Error Threshold within the number of polling intervals specified for the
Monitored Events Counter, then the Frame Relay line is considered down and all associated
virtual circuits are considered inactive. By default, this counter is set to 4, which is the stan-
dard Frame Relay default value.
♦ Important Note ♦
This option should only be modified by experienced
Frame Relay network administrators.
8) Default Bridging Group
The default Group for bridging any virtual circuits (user-configured or learned from the Frame
Relay network) that are not specifically assigned to a Bridging service. If you set this value to
0, then virtual circuits will not perform bridging unless assigned to a bridging service. By
default, the Default Bridging Group is set to 1. By entering a value here you can change the
default for this port.
♦ Important Note ♦
The Default Briding Group only applies to user-side (i.e.,
the LMI Procedure Type has been set to User) Frame
Relay ports.
9) Default Frame-Relay Bridging Mode
This field sets the default translation option for this port. When set to All, no translation is
performed on frames before they are sent out to the Frame Relay network; frames are sent as
is. When set to Eth-only, non-Ethernet frames are first translated to the default Ethernet frame
format for this port before they are sent out to the Frame Relay network. Any MAC transla-
tions configured through the Switch menu are valid.
♦ Important Note ♦
The Default Frame-Relay Briding Mode only applies to
user-side (i.e., the LMI Procedure Type has been set to
User) Frame Relay ports.
