WAN Throttle
This parameter specifies the maximum data rate at which frames are sent to the
WAN (i.e., to the ASM-60 line).
The available selections are:
64 kbps
128 kbps
256 kbps
512 kbps
1024 kbps
Full (no restriction on the rate).
Since the IP router buffers have a limited capacity (256 frames), it is recommended
to select the WAN Throttle parameter in accordance with the line rate.
Aging Timeout
Used to specify the time after which inactive LAN stations are removed from the
IR-IP ARP table.
A station is defined as inactive when no IP traffic is received from it by the IR-IP
LAN interface.
WAN Protocol Parameters – Frame Relay Protocol Menu
The Frame Relay Protocol Parameters menu is used to configure the parameters
Frame Relay WAN for protocol (the WAN protocol is selected by means of the
Quick Setup Menu) in Figure C-6.
To access the Protocol Parameters menu:
From the Advanced Setup menu, type 3.
Self Learn
Used to specify whether the Frame Relay DLCI and maintenance protocol is
learned automatically (ENABLED), or is manually entered (DISABLED).
Maintenance Protocol
When the Self Learn parameter is DISABLED, use this parameter to specify the
desired maintenance protocol.
DLCI
When the Self Learn parameter is DISABLED, use this parameter to specify the
DLCI used for exchanging maintenance protocol messages.
CIR
Used to specify the maximum amount of data, in bits, which the Frame Relay
network guarantees to transfer during the measurement interval (the measurement
interval is usually one second).
The value of this parameter is obtained from your Frame Relay service provider.
