LMI Parameters

Possible Settings: System, Custom

Default Setting: System

Allows you to use the system LMI options, or to set specific LMI options for this interface.

System ± Use system LMI options (see Table 3-1,System Frame Relay and LMI Options).

Custom ± Use the following options in this table to configure LMI parameters.

LMI Error Event (N2)

Possible Settings: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

Default Setting: 3

Configures the LMI-defined N2 parameter, which sets the number of errors that can occur on the LMI link before an error is reported. Applies to both the user and network sides of a UNI.

1 ± 10 ± Specifies the maximum number of errors.

LMI Clearing Event (N3)

Possible Settings: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

Default Setting: 1

Configures the LMI-defined N3 parameter, which sets the number of error-free messages that must be received before clearing an error event. Applies to both the user and network sides of a UNI.

1 ± 10 ± Specifies how many error-free messages it will take to clear the error event.

LMI Status Enquiry (N1)

Possible Settings: 1, 2, 3, 4, . . . 255

Default Setting: 6

Configures the LMI-defined N1 parameter, which sets the number of status enquiry polling cycles that the user side of the LMI initiates before a full status enquiry is initiated. Applies to the user side of a UNI only.

1 ± 255 ± Specifies the number of status enquiry polling cycles that can be initiated before a full status enquiry is initiated.

LMI Heartbeat (T1)

Possible Settings: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30

Default Setting: 10

Configures the LMI-defined T1 parameter, which sets the number of seconds between the initiation of status enquiry messages on the user side of the LMI. Applies to the user side of a UNI only.

5 ± 30 ± Specifies the number of seconds between the initiation of status enquiry messages in increments of 5.
