DLP- F362 Provision or Modify TARP Operating Parameters
•TARP PDUs Origination—If checked (default), the node performs all TARP origination functions
including:
–
TID to NSAP resolution requests (originate TARP Type 1 and Type 2 PDUs)
–
NSAP to TID requests (originate Type 5 PDUs)
–
TARP address changes (originate Type 4 PDUs)
Note TARP Echo and NSAP to TID is not supported.
•TARP Data Cache—If checked (default), the node maintains a TARP data cache (TDC). The TDC
is a database of TID to NSAP pairs created from TARP Type 3 PDUs received by the node and
modified by TARP Type 4 PDUs (TID to NSAP updates or corrections). TARP3 PDUs are
responses to Type 1 and Type 2 PDUs. The TDC can also be populated with static entries entered
on the TARP > Static TDC tab.
Note This parameter is only used when the TARP PDUs Origination parameter is enabled.
•L2 TARP Data Cache—If checked (default), the TIDs and NSAPs of NEs originating Type 2
requests are added to the TDC before the node propagates the requests to other NEs.
Note This parameter is designed for Intermediate System Level1/Level 2 nodes that are
connected to other Intermediate System Level 1/Level 2 nodes. Enabling the parameter for
Intermediate System Level 1 nodes is not recommended.
•LDB—If checked (default), enables the TARP loop detection buffer. The LDB prevents TARP PDUs
from being sent more than once on the same subnet.
Note The LDB parameter is not used if the Node Routing Mode is provisioned to End System or
if the TARP PDUs L1 Propagation parameter is not enabled.
•LAN TARP Storm Suppression—If checked (default), enables TARP storm suppression. This
function prevents redundant TARP PDUs from being unnecessarily propagated across the LAN
network.
•Send Type 4 PDU on Startup—If checked, a TARP Type 4 PDU is originated during the initial
ONS 15600 SDH startup. Type 4 PDUs indicate that a TID or NSAP change has occurred at the NE.
(The default setting is not enabled.)
•Type 4 PDU Delay—Sets the amount of time that will pass before the Type 4 PDU is generated when
Send Type 4 PDU on Startup is enabled. 60 seconds is the default. The range is 0 to 255 seconds.
Note The Send Type 4 PDU on Startup and Type 4 PDU Delay parameters are not used if TARP
PDUs Origination is not enabled.
•LDB Entry—Sets the TARP loop detection buffer timer. The LDB buffer time is assigned to each
LDB entry for which the TARP sequence number (tar-seq) is zero. The default is 5 minutes. The
range is 1 to 10 minutes.
