Cabletron Systems SmartSwitch manual Setting up a Frame Relay Service Profile

Chapter 22: WAN Configuration Guide

Setting up a Frame Relay Service Profile

Once you have defined the type and location of your Frame Relay WAN interface(s), you can configure your SSR to more efficiently utilize available bandwidth for Frame Relay communications.

Note: The SSR comes with a set of “default values” for Frame Relay interface configuration settings, which means that setting up a Frame Relay service profile is not absolutely necessary to begin sending and receiving Frame Relay traffic on your SSR.

After you configure one or more service profiles for your Frame Relay interface(s), you can then apply a service profile to active Frame Relay WAN ports, specifying their behavior when handling Frame Relay traffic. The following command line displays all of the possible attributes used to define a Frame Relay service profile:

Define a frame relay service profile.

frame-relay define service <service name> [Bc <number>] [Be <number>] [becn-adaptive-shaping <number>] [cir <number>] [high-priority-queue-depth <number>] [low- priority-queue-depth <number>] [med-priority-queue- depth <number>] [red onoff] [red-maxTh-high-prio- traffic <number>] [red-maxTh-low-prio-traffic <number>] [red-maxTh-med-prio-traffic <number>] [red-minTh-high-prio-traffic <number>] [red-minTh- low-prio-traffic <number>] [red-minTh-med-prio- traffic <number>] [rmon onoff]

Applying a Service Profile to an Active Frame Relay WAN Port

Once you have created one or more frame relay service profiles, you can specify their use on one or more active frame relay WAN ports on the SSR. The following command line displays a simplified example of this process:

Apply a service profile to an active WAN port.

frame-relay apply service <service name> ports <port list>
