Chapter 13: AI2524 Frame Relay Configuration Steps

August 1997

Page 13-13

By default, the Frame Reject frame is sent at the LAPF Frame Reject
procedure.

Note:

Manipulation of Layer 2 parameters is not recommended
if you do not know well the resulting functional change.
For more information, refer to the ITU-T Q.922
specification for LAPF.

If you must change Layer 2 parameters for your network environment
and if you know the resulting functional change, complete these tasks
as needed:

z

Set the LAPF window size k.

frame-relay lapf k

number

z

Set the LAPF maximum retransmission count N200.

frame-relay lapf n200

retries

z

Set the maximum length of the Information field of the LAPF I
frame N201.

frame-relay lapf n201

number

z

Set the LAPF retransmission timer value T200.

frame-relay lapf t200

tenths-of-a-second

z

Set the LAPF link idle timer value T203 of DLCI 0.

frame-relay lapf t203

seconds

Relay Traffic
Shaping

Beginning with Release 11.2, AI2524 supports Frame Relay traffic
shaping, which provides:

z

Rate enforcement on a per-virtual circuit basis—The peak rate for
outbound traffic can be set to the CIR or some other user-config
ured rate.

z

Dynamic traffic throttling on a per-virtual circuit basis—When
BECN packets indicate congestion on the network, the outbound
traffic rate is automatically stepped down; when congestion eases,
the outbound traffic rate is stepped up again. This feature is en-
abled by default.

z

Enhanced queuing support on a per-virtual circuit basis—Either
custom queuing or priority queuing can be configured for individ-
ual virtual circuits.
