Set DE
Possible Settings: Enable, Disable
Default Setting: Disable
Specifies whether frames (packets) sent on a management PVC have the Discard Eligible
(DE) bit set. During network congestion, this bit prioritizes which frames to discard first,
giving management traffic a lower priority than customer data.
Display Conditions
– This option does not appear if Primary Link is set to Net1-ATM.
Enable – Sets the DE bit to one on all frames sent on the management PVC.
Disable – Sets the DE bit to zero on all frames sent on the management PVC. This is the
recommended setting, particularly for NSPs providing a managed network service.
Primary Link
Possible Settings: Net1-FR1, Port-1, Rtr-S0, Net1-ATM, Clear
Default Setting: Initially blank
Specifies the frame relay interface to use for this management PVC. The interface
selected must have at least one DLCI (or DLCI with EDLCI) defined, which is not part of a
PVC connection or already assigned as a management PVC.
Display Conditions
– The Port-1 setting does not appear if the PVC is Payload
Managed or IP Enabled.
Net1-FR1 – Specifies that the network frame relay link interface be used in the
connection.
Port-1 – For the FrameSaver CSU/DSU, specifies that the user data port frame relay link
be used in the connection.
Rtr-S0 – For the FrameSaver router, specifies that the router’s virtual Serial port 0
interface (S0) be used in the connection.
Net1-ATM – Specifies that the network ATM link be used in the connection.
Clear – Clears the link field and suppresses the EDLCI field for a multiplexed DLCI.
Primary DLCI
Possible Settings: 16 – 1007
Default Setting: Initially blank
Specifies the DLCI number used for the management PVC after the frame relay interface
is selected.
The DLCI must be defined for the link (i.e., have a DLCI record) and must not be part of a
PVC connection or already assigned as a management PVC. For multiplexed DLCIs, at
least one EDLCI must be unconfigured for the DLCI.
NOTES:
– DLCI cannot be entered if the Link field is blank.
– Clearing the Link also clears the DLCI.
16 – 1007 – Specifies the DLCI number.
