WAN Throttle

This parameter specifies the maximum data rate at which frames are sent to the WAN (i.e., to the ASM-60 line).

The available selections are:

64 kbps

128 kbps

256 kbps

512 kbps

1024 kbps

Full (no restriction on the rate).

Since the IP router buffers have a limited capacity (256 frames), it is recommended to select the WAN Throttle parameter in accordance with the line rate.

Aging Timeout

Used to specify the time after which inactive LAN stations are removed from the IR-IP ARP table.

A station is defined as inactive when no IP traffic is received from it by the IR-IP LAN interface.

WAN Protocol Parameters – Frame Relay Protocol Menu

The Frame Relay Protocol Parameters menu is used to configure the parameters Frame Relay WAN for protocol (the WAN protocol is selected by means of the Quick Setup Menu) in Figure C-6.

To access the Protocol Parameters menu:

From the Advanced Setup menu, type 3.

Self Learn

Used to specify whether the Frame Relay DLCI and maintenance protocol is learned automatically (ENABLED), or is manually entered (DISABLED).

Maintenance Protocol

When the Self Learn parameter is DISABLED, use this parameter to specify the desired maintenance protocol.

DLCI

When the Self Learn parameter is DISABLED, use this parameter to specify the DLCI used for exchanging maintenance protocol messages.

CIR

Used to specify the maximum amount of data, in bits, which the Frame Relay network guarantees to transfer during the measurement interval (the measurement interval is usually one second).

The value of this parameter is obtained from your Frame Relay service provider.
