Setting Configuration Parameters
Page 29-27
10) Default Routing 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 Routing service. If you set this value to 0
(the default value), then virtual circuits will not perform Routing unless specifically assigned
to a Routing service.
This option is intended to simplify Routing configuration if you do not need to route many
Groups over a Frame Relay physical port. The WSX learns about Data virtual circuits from the
Frame Relay network. To enable routing on each of these learned virtual circuits, you would
have to set up each circuit individually. However, if you already know the Routing Group for
your VCs, then you can specify it here and all VCs will be placed in that Group with an extra
configuration on your part. Note that you still need to set up a Frame Relay Routing Group
through the crgp command. See Configuring a WAN Routing Service on page 29-59 for more
information.
♦ Important Note ♦
The Default Routing Group only applies to user-side (i.e.,
the LMI Procedure Type has been set to User) Frame
Relay ports.
11) Default Compression Admin Status
This option indicates whether compression negotiation is enabled or disabled for virtual
circuits that are learned from the Frame Relay network. Configured virtual circuits are enabled
for compression through the fradd or frmodify (virtual circuit level) commands. The compres-
sion negotiation status that you set up for a specific virtual circuit overrides the status you
enter here for the physical port.
12) Default Compression PRetry Time
This option sets the number of seconds between compression negotiation messages. If
compression negotiation is enabled, the WSX will send compression negotiation messages as
many times as you indicate in the Default Compression PRetry Count. The time between these
tries is indicated in this field. The number of seconds between retries may range between 1
and 10 seconds. The default is 3 seconds. This default can be by using the frmodify command
on an individual virtual circuit.
♦ Important Note ♦
The Default Compression PRetry Time should only be
modified by experienced Frame Relay network admin-
istrators. In addition, it should match the setting for the
remote Omni Switch/Router or Bridge/Router.
