Note: The remote device must be either an HP router configured as a HP
Point-to-Point circuit for an HP Remote Bridge.
DCE
DCE is the required choice for a circuit connecting to an HP Remote Bridge.
To use this option, configure the remote device with the address ‘‘DTE’’.
DTE
To use this option, configure the remote device with the address DCE.
Explicit
Used when multiple communication channels are enabled by a common
satellite link. Displays a screen with two additional parameters. For more
information, refer to “Local Address” and “Remote Address.”
Poll Interval (seconds)
Sets the time interval between Status Inquiry messages transmitted by the
router to the Frame Relay network.
Default: 10 (seconds)
Range:
The Status Inquiry message requests the Frame Relay network to respond
with a Link Integrity Verification to verify the status of the DCE/DTE link.
Provide InARP
Enables or disables the Inverse Address Resolution Protocol (InARP).
InARP, an extension to the Address Resolution Protocol, enables the router
to resolve a given DLCI to a specific protocol address. Within the Frame
Relay environment, new PVCs are announced through the exchange of
signaling messages between the Frame Relay DCE and the multiprotocol
router. These signaling exchanges provide an indication of the DLCI
assigned to the PVC, but provide no information regarding protocol
addressing (thus severely limiting the immediate utility of the PVC). InARP
enables the multiprotocol router to discover the protocol address of the
remote station associated with the newly-announced DLCI (as specified in
RFC 1293).
Default: No
No
Disables InARP
Yes
Enables InARP.
Quality of Service
Specifies the link-level control. It always must remain set to LLC1, the
default, for 802.3, 802.5, and Point-to-Point circuits.
Default: LLC1
Auto
Allows the router to automatically detect the link-level control and to set the
link-level control accordingly.
