About the FrameSaver FLEX 9123

HFrame Relay Traffic Policing. Ensures proper alignment and correlation of CIR (Committed Information Rate) values between the FrameSaver unit and the network switch. When this feature is enabled, the unit can enforce CIR and EIR (Excess Information Rate), marking frames that exceed CIR as DE (Discard Eligible) using the same method used by the switch.

HRMON User History Performance Statistics via SNMP Polling. Provides access to ESF line, physical interface, and basic frame relay performance statistics by polling the FrameSaver unit using SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). These statistics are available real-time via the Enterprise MIB and historically as an RMON2 User History object.

HTrap Event Log. Shows the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) trap event log for the FrameSaver unit, with the most recent events first, keeping a running total for all trap events stored, the amount of time since the event was logged, plus a description of the trap.

HExtensive Testing Capability. Provides a variety of tests to identify

and diagnose device and network problems, including nondisruptive PVC loopbacks and end-to-end connectivity. Tests can be commanded from the unit's menu-driven user interface or the OpenLane system.

These tests include V.54 or FT1-ANSI data channel loopback support so the frame relay network service provider can perform a physical loopback from its own switch without having to contact the local service provider for loopback activation.

HLMI Packet Capture. Provides a way of uploading data that has been captured in a trace file so the data can be uploaded and transferred to a Network Associates Sniffer for analysis, or viewed via the menu-driven user interface. When viewed from the menu-driven user interface, the 12 most recent LMI messages are displayed.

HService Provider Support. Provides information and tools useful to network service providers, which includes the following:

ÐIP Routing Table ± Shows the IP routing table for the FrameSaver unit, with network as well as host routes, the number of hops to the destination, the method by which the route was added to the table, the interface used to get to the destination, and how long the route has been in existence.

ÐTroubleshooting PVC ± Provides a dedicated troubleshooting management link that helps service providers isolate problems within their network.

HBack-to-Back Operation. Allows two FrameSaver devices to be connected via a leased-line network or for leased-line simulation so that a point-to-point configuration can be implemented.
