2-34 Reference Guide

■The Default Be (Be also referred to as Excess Burst Size) represents the maximum amount of data that your Frame Relay service provider will attempt to deliver to a given PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit) or DLCI (Data Link Connection Identifier). This setting defaults to 0, but you may change the capacity rate if this setting needs to be modified.

See Appendix B, “Understanding Frame Relay” in the Getting

Started Guide for information on the these parameters.

Note: Some Frame Relay service providers allow for over-subscription of the DLCIs, which occurs when the total number of CIRs for all PVCs exceeds the line rate setup.

3.Select Congestion Management Enabled and toggle to Yes or No depending on whether you use this selection. Press Return.

If Congestion Management is enabled, this option causes the Netopia Router to use in-bound FECNs (Forward Explicit Congestion Notification). This feature is designed to notify you that congestion avoidance procedures should be initiated where applicable for traffic in the same direction as the received frame. It indicates that the frame in question, has encountered congested resources.

Note: The Congestion Management Enabled field will only appear if Standard or Buffered is selected as the option from the Tx Injection Management field.

4.Select Maximum Frame Size and press Return. The default is automatically set to a value suitable for encapsulating a full ethernet packet’s transmission load, however you may change the Maximum Frame Size to suit your networks transmission load. Press Return.

You are now done configuring the Frame Relay Configuration screen. Press the Escape key to return to the WAN Setup screen. If you need to configure your DLCIs, go to the section below. Otherwise, go to “Connection Profiles for ISDN and Leased lines” on page 2-13to set up your connection profile for a remote site.

Frame Relay DLCI configuration

If you selected None as your LMI Type then you will need to manually configure your DLCIs.
