Parameter Description
DLCI Number Used to identify the DLC. This number is supplied by the Public Frame Relay network
provider. The DLCIs are stored in a table which can be seen with the
L
command.
Frame Relay Address
Map
Determines the method used for mapping the remote IP address to the Permanent
Virtual Circuit.
Static
maps one IP address to this DLCI.
Inverse ARP
maps the IP
address dynamically, in a manner similar to the ARP table.
IP Address Applies when
Frame Relay Address Map
is
Static
. Provides the IP address to be used
for static address mapping.
Enable Predictor
Compression
Enables data compression using the Predictor algorithm. This feature should be
enabled only if Cyclades' equipment is being used on both ends of the connection
because there is no established standard for data compression interoperability. Data
compression is very CPU-intensive, making this feature effective only for links running
at speeds under 1Mbps. At higher speeds, the time necessary to compress data
offsets the gains in throughput achieved by data compression.
Number of Bits for
Compression
Applies when
Predictor Compression Enabled.
Sixteen is fastest, but 10 must be
used if the router on the other end is a PathRouter, for compatibility.
DLCI Priority Level This is the equivalent of CONFIG=>RULES LIST=>IP =>CONFIGURE RULES=>ADD
RULE=>FLOW PRIORITY LEVEL. See the section on traffic control in chapter 16.
Reserved Bandwidth This is the equivalent of CONFIG=>RULES LIST=>IP =>CONFIGURE RULES=>ADD
RULE=>RESERVED BANDWIDTH. Defines what percentage of the total bandwidth
on an interface will be set aside for this DLC. See the section on traffic control in
chapter 16.

To edit the DLCI table, use the list command (CONFIG=>INTERFACE=><LINK>=>ENCAPSULATION
=>FRAME RELAY=>L) to discover the number CyROS has assigned to each table entry. It will not be the
same as the DLCI.
