shortest time period between cells and provides the highest guarantee

 

that network performance objectives (based on cell loss ratio) will be

 

 

met.

 

 

W

 

 

 

 

 

MCR [c4_mcr]

Numb (10)

0

MCR is the minimum cell rate, which is the minimum allocated

Range=0-214748364

 

7

 

bandwidth for a connection.

 

 

 

W

 

 

 

 

 

NRP->NSP Bandwidth [c4_az_bandwidth]

Numb (10)

0

The bandwidth from the NRP/NRP2 to the NSP.

Range=0-214748364

 

7

 

C

 

 

 

 

 

 

NSP->NRP Bandwidth [c4_za_bandwidth]

Numb (10)

0

The bandwidth from the NSP to the NRP/NRP2.

Range=0-214748364

 

7

Virtual Template Attributes

 

 

 

 

 

Authentication [c4_authenticate]

Text (80)

 

This is the authentication type. When none is selected, no

 

 

authentication will be performed. PAP will enable Password

 

 

Authentication Protocol to authenticate the tunnel. CHAP will enable

 

 

Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol to authenticate the

 

 

tunnel.

 

 

W

 

 

 

 

 

Unnumbered IP Address in VT [c4_vt_ipaddr]

Text (40)

 

Specify the interface that you want IP enabled on without assigning a

 

 

specific IP address (i.e. fastethernet 0/0/0). This attribute is used when

 

 

configuring a virtual template to assign PPP features to a PVC.
