USER’S GUIDE

•Echo Reply

The Echo Reply is transmitted in response to an Echo Request. The Echo Reply packet contains the magic number of the sending device. Until the magic number option has been negotiated the value must be set to zero.

•Discard Request

The Discard request packet is transmitted by a device to exercise the data link layer processing. This packet is silently discarded by the receiving device.

WAN FR_IETF TRACE MESSAGES

You can trace Frame Relay (FR_IETF) incoming and outgoing packets. This FR_IETF trace information is placed into the Report log, which can be accessed by using the dr command. Enable this feature by using the wan fr-ietf trace on command, and disable it with wan fr-ietf trace off. You can specify the direction of the packets (in or out), a particular device or PVC (<device> or <fr_accessname_dlci>) and the protocol (AT, BR, IP, or IPX) to be traced.

The following is the format of a FR_IETF trace line as it is displayed by dr: [packet direction]: [device name or fr_accessname_dlci] [protocol] size:[NN]

where:

[packet direction]

Indicates the packet direction. IN means received packet, OUT means transmitted packet.

[device name or fr_accesname_dlci]

Indicates the device or Frame Relay PVC associated with the traced data.

[protocol]

Identifies the protocol type of the traced data. Protocol types are AT (AppleTalk), BR (MAC Layer Bridge), IP, and IPX.

[NN]

Identifies the size of the data in bytes.

X.25 TRACE MESSAGES

It is now possible to trace X.25 incoming and outgoing packets. This X.25 trace information is placed into the Report log, which can be accessed by using the dr command. Enable this feature by using the trace x25 on command, and disable it with trace x25 off.
