Con®guring Frame Relay Interfaces

Protocol name or number

De®nes the name or number of the protocol that you are deleting. If you try to delete an unsupported protocol the system will display the error message:

Unknown protocol name, try again

To see a list of supported protocols, type ? at the Protocol name or

number [IP]? prompt.

IP Address

De®nes the 32-bit internet address of the remote IP host in

dotted-decimal notation.

Host Number

De®nes the 48-bit node address of the remote IPX host.

Network Number

De®nes the AppleTalk Phase 2 network number.

Node Number

De®nes the node number of the interface attached to the remote

AppleTalk host.

Node address

De®nes the DECnet node address of the remote DECnet host.

Con®gure the node address in the formatx,y, where x is a 6-bit

area address and y is a 10-bit node number.

Circuit Number

De®nes the name of a PVC or SVC that the protocol runs over.

pvc-group groupname

Deletes any con®gured PVC group by name. The group is removed only if it

has no member circuits.

Example: remove pvc-group PVC group name [IP]?

switched-virtual-circuit

Deletes any con®gured SVC by circuit name.

Set

Use the set command to con®gure the interface to run the Frame Relay protocol.

Set Command Considerations

Two parameters, the n2-parameter and the n3-parameter, require further explanation before you con®gure them. The n2-parameter sets the error threshold for management events, and the n3-parameter sets the number of events that are monitored in the event window. If the number of management errors in the event window equals n2, the Frame Relay interface resets. For example:

set n3-parameter 4 set n2-parameter 3

You now have a window size of 4 (n3 = 4) and an error threshold of 3 (n2 = 3). That means the system is monitoring 4 management events and checking to determine if any of those are in error. If the number of events in error equals 3 (the n2 parameter), the Frame Relay interface is reset and the status of the network is considered network down.
