LLC2 Local Termination

Configuring the LT

WAN Parameters These parameters make up the LT WAN Parameters Table.

Local SAP

Range: 01 to FE (hexadecimal)

Default: 04

Description: This SAP must match the source SAP of the frame received from

the LAN port for the session to be spoofed.

If you are using Local Termination Autolearn, specify the remote

Host SAP for the local MAC.

Boot Type: LLC LT Station

LLC Profile Name

Range: 0 to 8 (alphanumeric, space blanks field)

Default: (Blank)

Description: Local Term Station Table references this parameter for the T1, T2,

TI, N2, N3, and TW values. If no profile name is specified, then

default values are used.

Boot Type: LLC LT Station

T1Reply Timer

Range: 1 to 25 (seconds)

Default: 3

Description: This Ack timer is used by a station to dete ct a failure of the remot e

station to acknowledge an outstanding I frame or supervisory

frame with the pole bit set to 1.

Boot Type: LLC LT WAN Parameters.

T2 Rx Ack Timer

Range: 1 to 255 (tenths of seconds)

Default: 1

Description: The Receive Ack timer is used by a station to de termine how long

it will withhold acknowledgment of a frame from the remote

station that requires acknowledgment. This is a method of

reducing the amount of acknowledgments generated by a link

station. When this timer expires, the link station should

immediately send an acknowledgment for all received frames not

yet acknowledged.
