Source Link
Possible Settings: Port-n, ISDN Link Name, Net1-FR1, Rtr-S0
Default Setting: Initially blank; no default.
Specifies the frame relay interface that starts a PVC connection; the from end of a from-to
link. The only valid settings for this configuration option are frame relay interfaces that
have at least one DLCI or EDLCI defined that are not part of a PVC connection or
management link. For example, if Port-1 has no DLCIs defined, Port-1 would not appear
as a valid setting.
Net1-FR1 – Specifies that the network interface be used in the connection.
ISDN Link Name – For units with ISDN backup capability, specifies the ISDN link of the
DBM as the source link. This can be any nonnull link name configured on an ISDN frame
relay link.
Port-n – For CSU/DSUs, specifies that the frame relay link on the user data port be used
in the connection.
Rtr-S0 – For FrameSaver routers, specifies that the frame relay link on the virtual router
port be used in the connection.
Clear All – Clears all Link and DLCI settings, and suppresses EDLCIs.
Source DLCI
Possible Settings: 16 – 1007
Default Setting: Initially blank; no default.
Specifies the source DLCI for a frame relay interface. The DLCI must be defined and
cannot be part of a PVC connection or management link. For multiplexed DLCIs, at least
one EDLCI must be unconnected for the DLCI to be a valid selection.
NOTE: Source DLCI has no value if Source Link contains no value.
16 – 1007 – Specifies the DLCI number.
