Con®guring Frame Relay Interfaces

APPN

58 bytes (see note)

 

Note: Assumes worst case for APPN BAN where a T/R MAC address

 

header and LLC header are added in addition to the FR header

 

bytes.

 

If FR data encryption is enabled then you must subtract up to an additional

 

12 bytes.

When using Frame Relay SVCs, the maximum information ®eld size must

be the same at both ends of the virtual circuit. To determine the maximum

information ®eld size, subtract 16 bytes from the frame size if encryption is

enabled on the SVC and subtract 4 bytes if encryption is not enabled on

the SVC.

idle [¯ag or mark]

 

Sets the transmit idle state for HDLC framing. The default value is ¯ag,

 

which provides continuous ¯ags (7E hex) between frames. The mark option

 

puts the line in a marking state (OFF, 1) between frames. Mark idle causes

 

the transmit LED to be dark between frames. Flag idle partially lights the

 

transmit LED between frames.

ir-adjustmentincrement-% decrement-% minimum-IR

 

Sets the minimum information rate (IR) and the percentages for

 

incrementing and decrementing the IR in response to network congestion.

 

The minimum IR, expressed as a percentage of CIR, is the lower limit of

 

the information rate. The minimum percentage is 1 and the maximum

 

percentage is 100. The default is 25.

 

When network congestion clears, the information rate is gradually

 

incremented by the IR adjustment increment percentage until the maximum

 

information rate is reached. The minimum percentage is 1 and the

 

maximum percentage is 100. The default is 12.

 

When network congestion occurs, the information rate is decremented by

 

the IR adjustment decrement percentage each time a frame containing

 

BECN is received until the minimum information rate is reached. The

 

minimum percentage is 1, and the maximum percentage is 100. The default

 

is 25.

Example:

set ir-adjustment

IR adjustment % increment [12]?

IR adjustment % decrement [25]?

Minimum IR as % of CIR [25]?

line-speed rate

For internal clocking, this command speci®es the speed of the transmit and receive clock lines. The range is 2400 to 2 048 000 bps.

For external clocking, this command does not affect the hardware (in other words, the actual speed of the line) but it sets the speed of some protocols, such as IPX, used to determine routing cost parameters. Congestion monitoring also uses the con®gured line speed to determine the maximum information rate. Therefore, it is recommended that you set the speed to match the actual line speed. If the speed is not con®gured, the protocols and congestion monitoring assume a speed of 1 000 000 bps.

Notes:

1.When using external clocking, the maximum line speed is 6 312 000.

2.When using internal clocking, the maximum line speed is 2 048 000.
