Graceful shutdown and IPX Header Compression
The following PPP Options parameters define a choice for a graceful shutdown for a PPP
connection and a choice for the use of compression for the IPX header:
COMB Options
Combinet is an encapsulation protocol that requires authentication by password and Media
Access Control (MAC) address. A MAC address is the address for a device as it is identified at
the Media Access Control layer in the network architecture. Following are the Answer >
COMB Options parameters:
V.120 Options
V.120 is an encapsulation protocol. The only parameter to set in the V.120 Options subprofile
is Frame Length. This parameter specifies the maximum number of bytes allowed in the
information field by V.120 or X.75 terminal adapters that call the MAX unit.
X.75 Options
The X.75 Options parameters apply to incoming calls that use X.75 encapsulation. Following
are the Answer > X.75 Options parameters:
Parameter Specifies
Disc on Auth Timeout Whether or not the MAX unit gracefully shuts down the PPP
connection on an external authentication server timeout.
IPX Header
Compression
Whether to use or disable IPX header compression in PPP sessions.
IPX Header Compression is enabled by default. This parameter is not
applicable if the unit does not route IPX.
Parameter Specifies
Password Reqd Whether a password will be required to authenticate Combinet
connections.
Interval Number of seconds between the receipt or transmission of Combinet
line-integrity packets. If the unit does not receive a Combinet
line-integrity packet within three of these intervals, it disconnects the
call.
Compression Whether data compression is on or off for a Combinet link. Both sides
of the link must enable compression for the algorithm to have any
effect. Compression is a process that reduces the quantity of
bandwidth or storage space required to encode a block of information.
Parameter Specifies
K Window Size
Maximum number of data packets that can be outstanding in an X.75
connection before acknowledgment is required.
