Table 4-5. Service Level Verification Options (1 of 3)
SLV Sample Interval (secs)
Possible Settings: 10 – 3600
Default Setting: 60
Sets the inband communications interval between FrameSaver SLV devices. Inband
communications are used to pass frames that calculate latency, as well as transmission
success and other SLV information.
10 – 3600 – Sets the SLV Sample Interval (secs) in seconds.
SLV Synchronization Role
Available Settings: Tributary, Controller, None
Default Setting: Tributa ry
Determines the role the unit plays in main taining synchronization of user hist ory data
collection and storage between SLV devices.
Tribu tar y – Uses network timing received from incoming SLV communications and
provides network-based synchronization information to other devices in the network.
Controller – Uses its own internal time-of-day clock and provides synchronization
information to other devices in the network based upon its own clock.
NOTE: Only one device in the network should be configured as the SLV
synchronization controller.
None – Incoming timing information is ignored and no timing information is sent out. This
setting should only be used when network synchronization is not desirable, or when a
single unit connects multiple networks or network segments.
