Configuring Frame Relay for the Data Port

Select Frame Relay from the Data Ports menu to display or change the Frame Relay options (see Table 4-7).

Main Menu → Configuration → Data Ports → Frame Relay

Table 4-7. Data Port Frame Relay Options (1 of 2)

LMI Protocol

Possible Settings: Initialize_From_Net1FR1, Initialize_From_Interface,

Auto_On_LMI_Fail, Standard, Annex-A, Annex-D

Default Setting: Initialize_From_Interface

Specifies either the LMI protocol supported on the frame relay interface or the discovery source for the LMI protocol.

Initialize_From_Interface ± The LMI type supported on this frame relay link will be configured to match the LMI protocol discovered from the attached DTE device. Once a protocol has become active, the protocol will be set to the protocol discovered (Standard, Annex-A or Annex-D) on the frame relay link. The protocol will not be updated after being initially discovered. The frame relay link discovers the LMI protocol from an attached device via LMI status polls.

Auto_On_LMI_Fail ± The LMI type supported on this frame relay link will be configured to match the LMI protocol discovered from the attached Network line or the DTE device whenever an LMI Link Down failure occurs. This option is available for frame relay links on the Port and network interfaces. The frame relay link discovers the LMI protocol from LMI status polls by the attached DTE device.

Standard ± Supports Standard LMI and the StrataCom enhancements to the

Standard LMI.

Annex-A± Supports LMI as specified by Q.933, Annex A.

Annex-D± Supports LMI as specified by ANSI T1.617, Annex D.

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 4-2,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.
