a speci®c unicast MAC address or route descriptor that may be sent to the BUS within the time speci®ed by the unknown-time parameter. Larger values decrease the number of discarded frames while increasing the load on the BUS.

Valid Values:

An integer number of frames in the range of 1 to 255.

Default Value:

10

unknown-time

Sets the unknown frame time. This is the time interval during which the maximum number of frames for a speci®c unicast MAC address or route descriptor (speci®ed by the unknown-count parameter) may be sent to the BUS. Larger values increase the number of discarded frames while decreasing the load on the BUS.

Valid Values:

An integer number of seconds in the range of 1 to 60.

Default Value:

1

Example:

LEC Config> set unknown-time 5

vcc-timeout

Sets the VCC timeout. Data direct VCCs over which no traffic has been sent for this period of time should be released.

Valid Values: 0 to 31536000 seconds (1 year).

Default Value: 1200

Note: This parameter is meaningful only for SVC connections.

Example:

LEC Config> set vcc-timeout 1000

Accessing the LEC Monitoring Environment

Use the following procedure to access the LEC monitoring commands. This process gives you access to the LEC monitoring process.

1.At the OPCON prompt, enter talk 5. (For more detail on this command, refer to ªChapter 3. The OPCON Processº on page 25.) For example:

*talk 5

+

After you enter the talk 5 command, the GWCON prompt (+) displays on the console. If the prompt does not appear when you ®rst enter con®guration, press Return again.

2.At the + prompt, enter the network ? command to display the network interface numbers for which the router is currently con®gured, and enter theinterface number for the LEC you wish to monitor. For example:

+network ?
