Compression PRetry Time

This option sets the number of seconds between compression negotiation messages on this
virtual circuit. If compression negotiation is enabled, the

WSX

will send compression negotia-

tion messages as many times as you indicate in the Compression PRetry Count. The time
between these tries in indicated in this field. The number of seconds between retries may
range between 1 and 10 seconds. The default is 3 seconds. The value you enter for this field
overrides the

Default Compression PRetry Time

set up for the physical port with which this

virtual circuit is associated.

Important Note

The

Compression PRetry Time

fied by experienced Frame Relay network administra-
tors. In addition, it should match the setting for the
remote Omni Switch/Router or Bridge/Router.

Compression PRetry Count

before giving up and not running compression on this virtual circuit. You enter the time
between these retries in the Compression PRetry Time field. The number of retries can range
from 3 to 255. The default is 10. The value you enter for this field overrides the

ated.

modified by experienced Frame Relay network admin-
istrators. In addition, it should match the setting for the
remote switch or Bridge/Router.

Fragmentation Interleaving

The fragmentation feature for Frame Relay, when activated, allows for lower priority frames
exceeding a preset size to be fragmented into multiple frames so that higher priority traffic
can be sent more quickly.

Fragmented frames are reassembled at destination.

Selected whether to

enable

or

disable

Frame Relay fragmentation. When fragmentation is

enabled

, the fragmentation menu is expanded to include a parameter for setting the maxi-

mum frame size, as shown.
