CHAPTER 1ABOUTTHE WANSUITE 7105
The telecommunications network service market is rapidly changing, where
network monitoring, control, and higher performance in packet processing are
not only expected, but demanded, at competitive price points. Verilink’s
WANsuite family is based on our innovative, next-generation WAN access architecture − a h ighly fle xible and powerf ul architect ure th at can me et the
needs of many different customers in many different applications. Because it
is so flexible, WANsuite products will continually evolve, offering our
customers cutting-edge features at competitive prices.
The WANsuite 7105 is a rack-mounted unit designed to occupy a single slot
position of the Verilink AS2000 rack or shelf. The AS2000 shelf has several
different variations: (1) a dual-line shelf that accomm odates tw o cards, (2) a
quint-line shelf that can accommodate up to five cards, and (3) a multi-line
shelf that can acco mmodat e up to 13 cards. A servic e aware T1/FT1
CSU/DSU, the WANsuite 7105 has three Network ports (all of which operate
in long-haul or short-haul mode); two Serial ports software-configurable for
RS-232, EIA-530, EIA 530A, or V.35 electrical connections; an asynchronous
Supervisory port; a 10/100Base-T Ethernet interface; six status LEDs, and
three sets of test ac cess B antam jack s. Capa ble of acco mmoda ting a w ide
range of network configurations, the WANsuite 7105 effectively combines
voice, data, and network traffic over a single transmission facility and works
with non-proprietary network management solutions.
All of WANsuite 7105’s installation, performance configuration, traffic
monitoring, alarm reporting, and diagnostic capabilities can be configured
through the unit’s embedded We b server interface(WANsight™) using
Microsoft
locally through the Ethernet port or the Supervisory port, or remotely through
the Network port. Especially advantageous is WANsuite’s advanced monitorin g and co ntrol ca pabilit y that gives network administrators the
ability to plan future capacity requirements. To extend the WANsuite 7105’s
functionality even further, Verilink offers an element management software
system for reporting and real-time diagnostics.

About the WANsuite 71051-1
The unit’s built-in ServiceAware™ technology allows network managers to
maximize available WAN bandwidth and verify SLAs. This management
platform allows the end user to see network activity (performance) and
problems (diagnostics) on any permanent virtual circuit (PVC), access line, or
physical circu it.
Verilink’s FrameStart™ technology is standard with WANsuite 7105 and
benefits the initial installation of frame relay circuits by eliminating the
requiremen t for a frame rel ay test se t. Fram eStart ens ures that T1 circu it
status, signal quality, loopback code detection, access link condition, and the
various Layer 2 frame relay investigation and reporting features are available
and accura te.
The WANsuite 7105 boasts a built-in mini-dacs. This f eature enables the uni t
to switch or “groom” individual DS0s. You can groom any DS0 from any
interface into any time slot.This feature makes the WANsuite 7105 ideal for
applications that switch DS0s from one T1 onto two separate fractional T1
lines.
The WANsuite 7105 is equipped with integrated Automatic P rotection Switching (APS), which makes back-up facilities available for a customer’s
most critical business locations. With APS enabled, customers can rely on the
fact that their most important data will reach its desired destination. This
means a business can increase its “up time,” offering uninterrupted service,
without having to increase its network’s complexity.
The WANsuite 7105 also monitors and measures utilization. Whether
running packet or TDM data, the WANsuite 7105 can measure the percent of
utilization on each network or serial interface. High and low-level alarms
notify network managers in advance that bandwidth may need to be
reallocated.
Another feature of the WANsuite product line, IP Gateway enables IP packet rout ing throughout a LAN/WAN network architecture using static
routing configurations or dynamic routing protocols (Routing Information
Protocol − RIP 1 and RIP 2− or Open Shortest Path First −OSPF).
RIP 1 and RIP 2 allow routers to exchange routing information. WANsuite
then uses this information exchange to build routing tables for IP Packet
routes. After building the routing tables, WANsuite periodically broadcasts
the contents to neighboring routers so that your network can choose the most
efficient rou tes available.
OSPF uses link-state routing algorithms to calculate routes based on the
number of routers, transmission speeds, delays, and route costs. Using the
OSPF protocol, WANsuite works with other routers in your
telecommunications fabric to dynamically change routing “on the fly” to make
use of the most efficient and cost-effective transit across your network.
Because IP Gateway enables WANsuite to route IP traffic either statically or
dynamically across your LAN/WAN architecture, your need for costly routers
is substantially reduced. WANsuite is a one-stop solution that can help you
meet the requirements of your many different applications.
1-2WANsuite 7105
DHCP uses a server-clien t architecture to assign IP addresses to PCs and
workstations on the LAN. The DHCP server dynamically assigns these IP
addresses, which can be either temporary or permanent, to each PC or
workstation (DHCP client). These IP addresses are "housed" on the DHCP
server.
NAT e nables an enterprise to set up two sets of IP addresses − one set fo r
internal network use (or LAN traffic) and one set for external use (or Internet
traffic). This can provide a layer of security for a company by eliminating
outside access to internal IP addresses from the Int ernet.
TCP Server, a feature of the WANsuite product line, provides connectivity
to multiple endpoints by associating a TCP port with each endpoint, and
reduces the number of physical connections at the central site to one
10/100Base-T Ethernet port.
Bridging separate LANs together is another option for the IP traffic. Using
the IEEE Standard 802.1D Transparent Bridging specification, the
WANsuite 7105 can simplify your network architecture by allowing you to
bridge sep arate LAN s acros s a WAN so th ey operat e as a sin gle LAN.
The WANsuite 7105 gives service providers and enterprise customers the
capability to m onitor end -to-end net work perfo rmance (with support for up
to 256 virtual circuits) as well as the capability to verify Service Level
Agreements (SLAs); isolate performance problems to the LAN, local loop or
frame relay network; determine appropriate bandwidth needs; and monitor
network trends to aid in future capacity planning.
Features of the WANsuite 7105
Performance
Historically, WAN access devices have tended to perform well as
single-function devices such as CSU/DSUs, but have not been optimized to
address higher level traffic issues such as service levels and integration.
Verilink's architecture and Web-based user interface work together to address
all access issues as services and ap plications , rather than as circ uits and
protocols, for exceptional WAN management performance.
To further leverage its Web server interface, Verilink's new architecture lets
you upgrade firmware and save or upload configurations via the Web from a
Web browser. Password control is also available.
NOTICE: Verilink recommends the use of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 5.0 or
higher. If you use other Internet browsers to access the Web server
interface, screen elements will not display as described in this manual.
About the WANsuite 71051-3
Mini-Dacs
The WANsuite 7105’s built-in mini-dacs lets the unit switch or groom any
DS0 from the main Network 1 port to any of the unit’s interfaces. The
mini-dacs offers complete grooming independent of DS0 or time slot.
Automatic Protection Switching (APS)
Using N etwork APS , custom ers can i ncrease their serv ice avail ability by
automatica lly swit ching b etween two T1 lines in the event of p erform ance
degradation or circuit failure. The WANsuite 7105 at the customer premise
constantly monitors the status and quality of the T1 line signal on both
primary and secondary lines. If the primary line’s performance degrades
below a customer-set threshold or if a circuit fails, the WANsuite 7105
automatically switches from the primary to the secondary line. This feature
does not depend on whether or not the primary and secondary lines are
provided by a sing le carri er o r alternat e carr iers. Th e la tency b etween t he ti me
the threshold is met and the time the switch is made to the backup line is less
than 50 ms. APS meets the standards set by TR54017.
Percent Utilization Reports
The WANsuite 7105 employs two methods for reporting percent utilization of
bandwidth. Both methods are required to accurately report utilization on voice
and data services.
The first of these methods is the DS0 utilization monitor, which reports
utilization of voice bandwidth as it is received from the Network ports.
Through the DS0 utilization monitor screens, you can configure idle DS0
patterns and set high and low utilization alarms.
The other method for reporting percent utilization is High-Level Data Link
Control (HDLC) monitoring, which reports utilization on synchronous data
services transmitted via the three Network or two Serial interfaces. HDLC
monitor screens also let you configure high and low utilization alarms.
The unit will report utilization alarms if DS0 or HDLC utilization stays high
for any given 15-minute period or at the end of any 24-hour period during
which utilization drops below the user-specified threshold. The WANsuite
7105 saves utilization statistics in 15-minute increments for 24 hours, and
each 24-hour period is summarized for up to 30 days.
Test Access Jacks
Three sets of Bantam jacks are on the front panel of the WANsuite 7105.
These test jacks provide local test access for the Network 1 port, and provide
technicians with quick and easy access to Layer 1 diagnostics.
1-4WANsuite 7105
SNMP Management
With integrated SNMP in-band management, enterprise managers can now
manage Verilink WANsuite units and their integral CSU/DSUs as a single
unit. With only one LAN segment in the network, all Verilink WANsuite
platforms can be managed by SNMP. With self-learning functionality, these
platforms learn their fra me relay environm ent and eliminate the n eed for
remote, trained personnel. Once an IP address has been established for a
properly connected remote unit, all configuration parameters may be
downloaded from the central site; no additional interaction is required at the
remote site to establish connectivity. WANs can be constructed using frame
relay or leased-line services. Verilink’s WANsuite 7105 allows any port to be
configured for any of its available service technologies through simple
software configuration. Network managers can now fine tune the enterprise
network for the lowest cost and highest performance.
Embedded Web Server
An embedded Web server supplies a simple-to-use interface for configuration
and statistics collection, with a service table for mapping services to ports, an
endpoint table for configuring and monitoring service endpoints, and a user
table for traffic monitoring and control.
Optional Advanced Network Management
As an option for the WANsuite 7105, Verilink offers a network management
system based on RedPoint's NetVoyant™ software, which was designed to
provide IT professionals with the information required to make informed,
enterprise-wide capacity planning and investment decisions. NetVoyant is an
NT-based element managem ent sys tem that includes a n ODB C-co mpliant
database, CORBA IDLs for customization and flexibility, a real-time
diagnostics toolset, and extensive reporting and trending application support.
This solution employs an open-system, multi-vendor support approach for
network management, monitoring, and the collection of statistics from any

rates are configured through the Web server interface or VT100 interface. The
local Supervisory port can be set to speeds of 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200,
38400, 57600, or 115200 bps. The initial default rate of the local Supervisory
port is 19200 bps.
NOTICE: For information on pinout assignments for this connector, refer to
page A-8. See Ordering Information on page A-6 for information on
cables for this connector.
The Supervisory port performs several different functions. It serves as the
VT100 interface port, providing VT100 screens. It also supports asynchronous
PPP, providing access to the Web Server interface. In addition, the
Supervisory port is an asynchronous data port. Data is encapsulated in frame
relay packets and then transmitted through a Network port.
On power-up, the Supervisory port sends out diagnostic messages at the bit
rate of 115.2 kbps until the Supervisory service acquires the Supervisory port.
These diagnostic messages can disrupt the connected device; however, you
can configure the unit to disable their transmission.
NOTICE: A null modem (crossover) cable is required to connect a modem to the
Supervisory port.
Data Interface Module (Rear Panel)
The Data Interface Module (DIM) − or rear connector module − mate s wi th

ERVER INTERFACE
The WANsuite 7105 has an innovative, embedded Web-based user interface
(WANsight) for remote configuration and real-time reporting via Microsoft
Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher. Access to the Web server interface and how
the interface is used to configure the WANsuite 7105 unit are described in
detail below.
NOTICE: Verilink recommends the use of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 5.0 or
higher because if you use other Internet browsers to access the Web
server interface , some screen elemen ts will not disp lay as describe d in
this manual.
NOTICE: The material presented in this chapter follows the order listed in the
navigation bar on t he left side of the Web server interface screen.
However, because the parameters you specify in the Service Table
attach proto cols to inter faces , you m ust c onfig ure t he Serv ice Table
first. (See " Service s Scr een" on page 3-22.) You wi ll not b e a ble to
allocate channels (see "DS0 Monitor Details Screen" on page 3-26)
until the Service Table has been configured.
Configuration through the VT100 interface is covered in Chapter 4.
Accessing the Web Server Interface
You can access the Web server interface by connecting to its IP address. This
connection can be directly through the 10/100 Ethernet port, in-band PPP over
any port, or in-band via encapsulated IP traffic on the Frame Relay circuit.
NOTICE: Any changes to the unit’s configuration MUST be followed by a
“Submit” (if there is a “Submit” button on the screen) and a
“Save and Restart.”
Web Server Interface3-1
To access the Web server interface, type the unit’s IP address in the browser’s
Address (or Location) field, and press the Enter key.
Layout of Interface Screens
When you first access the Web server interface, your browser will display a
screen that is divided into three frames. The upper frame forms a border
across the top of the screen; it identifies the Verilink unit in service and
displays the hardware and software revision and serial numbers under which
the unit is operating. The far right corner of the upper frame displays whether
or not a “Save an d Restar t” is nece ssary when param eters are change d on the
currently displayed screen.
The area beneath the upper frame is divided into two side-by-side frames. The
frame on the left side of t his area d epicts a hierarch ical “tree” structure used
to navigate through the various interface screens. Each “branch” on the tree
guides you to more specific upper-level information about the unit and its
configuration. Note that the Interfaces, Applications, and Utilities branches do
not link to a page − these branches simply provide structure for navigation.
The frame on the right side of the screen will display the actual configuration
screen. The screen captures throughout this chapter show only the
configurat ion portio n of the screen, except in t he case of the Un it screen ,
which sh ows all t hree frames . The Un it scr een represe nts the to p of the
navigation tree.

Interfaces
Network Screens
The WANsuite 7105 has the following interfaces: Network 1, Network 2,
Network 3, Serial 1, Serial 2, 10/100 Ethernet, and Supervisory. Each of the
interfaces and their associ ated screen s/menus a re des cribed be low.
The Network 1 (shown below in Figure 3.4), Network 2, and Network 3
screens o ffer the sam e param eters ex cept for t he follo wing: the “Functio n”
parameter is found only on the Network 2 screen (top portion shown in Figure
3.5), and the “Timing” parameter is not included on the Network 3 screen
(top portio n shown in Figure 3 .6). Becaus e APS is configure d in the N etwork
2 screen only, there is an additional user-activated button, “Network APS,” on
the Network 2 screen that does not appear on either the Network 1 or
Network 3 screen. All three Network ports operate in the long-haul or shorthaul mode. The Network screens let you view and make changes to the
Network interface's configuration as described below. In addition, these
screens provide a table that displays the alarm values for the Network
interface.

Default: As 64K
NOTICE: The unit will search for active DS0s for a maximum of 7 seconds if
learning “As 64k” and for 30 seconds if learning “As 56K.”
Error Status and Alarm Thresholds Table
The unit can be programmed to generate an alarm condition based on a
specific level of performance degradation. The Network screens present a
table that provides current error status and alarm threshold information.
Acceptable alarm thresholds are set for periods of 15 minutes (900 seconds)
and samp led every sec ond. Th e error type s listed in th e paragra phs below can
be preset to a value between 0 and 900 seconds. Setting a field to “0” (zero)
disables the alarm on that statistic. To effectively disable alarm reporting, set
all fields to “0” (ze ro).
The 15-minute time frame is not based on the TR 54016 or T1.403 interval
boundaries, but is a time window based on the accumulated counts over the
previous fifteen 1-minute intervals. In all cases, if the number of actual
network errored seconds in the previous 15 minutes reaches the preset
threshold for the specified error type, an alarm condition is declared.
ES
SES
LOSS
The four columns o f the s tatus tab le are as follows:
• Status Displays the current status of the Network port.
• Alarm Displays t he alarm value of the Ne twork po rt. The u nit
declares an alarm as soon as the count exceeds the threshold
set.
• CountDisplays t he numb er of eve nts or o ccurrence s of this statistic
that have been detected.
• ThresholdA read/write field that can be set to a desirable threshold.
The table provides error sta tus and alarm thre shold in formation f or the
following error pa rameters:
Sets the Errored Seconds (ES) threshold. An ES is a 1-second period in which
at least one logic error occurred. The default value is 45 seconds.

By default, the Serial port serves as a DCE port in both Packet and TDM
Modes. However, the Serial port can serve as a DTE port when the unit is in
Packet M ode.
If the Serial port connects to a DTE device (such as a FRAD or a router), the
Mode parameter must be set to “DCE.” If this port connects to a DCE device
(such as a DSU/CSU), this parameter must be set to “DTE” (valid only for
Packet Mode, not TDM).

Number of Channels
Selects whether the DTE channel assignment is made as a “Contiguous”
group or as “Alternate” channels. Selecting “Alternate” ensures ones density.
Because the unit allows individual channels to be configured for a service, a
value of “Arbitrary” will be returne d for this parame ter if the current channel
allocation is not contiguous or Alternate. The “Arbitrary” value can only be
supplied by the unit − it cannot be set by the user.
NOTICE: Because “Alternate” Bundling assigns every other channel, only half
the channels are available.
Selects the starting channel in the 24-channel DS1 bit stream. Starting with
the specified channel, the unit automatically assigns the channels that follow.

you access the configuration parameters described in the paragraphs below.
Web Server Interface3-29
Figure 3.28
Frame Relay Service Details Screen
Interface Type
Link Management
Max Frame Size
If this service is conn ected to a Frame Relay net work, the Interface Type
should be set to “UNI” because it is the user side of a user-to-Network
interface. I f it is co nnected to a FR AD/ router, t he Inter fac e Type s hould b e set
to “NI” because it is the network side of a user-to-Network interface. If it is
connected to an equipment set for Network-to-Network interface, the Interface
Type should be set to “NNI.”
Values: UNI, NI, NNI
Default: UNI if interface is Network, NI if interface is Serial
Set this parameter to the link management used by the equipment connected
to it. If set to “Auto,” the unit will learn the link management type and
display it on the status portion of this screen.
Once it discovers the link management type, set the unit to the discovered
value so that subsequent unit or network re-initialization will be faster.
If Auto Diagnostic is set to “Yes,” the unit will discard received frames that
are larger than the maximum frame size. If Auto Diagnostic is set to “No,”
these large received frames will be sent, but will be counted in the Rx Invalid
statistics.
Values: 64–4096
Default: 2500
N1
3-30WANsuite 7105
This counter indicates the number of “keep alive” status inquiries sent
between full status requests.
Values: 5–255
Default: 5 if interfa ce is N etwork (U NI), 6 i f interfa ce is Serial (NI).
N2
The N2 counter specifies the total number of link reliability errors and
protocol errors that can occur during the sliding event monitor count defined
by N3. If this count is exceeded, the port is declared inactive.
Values: 1–255
Default: 3
N3
This counter represents a Monitored Events Count. For a network, a
monitored event is the receipt of a status inquiry message or the expiration of
the polling verification timer T2. For a FRAD, a monitored event is the
transmission of a status inquiry message. This parameter defines the size of
the sliding window used by the unit to determine whether a channel or user
device is active.
Values: 5–255
Default: 4
T1
This parameter specifies the number of seconds the unit waits between issuing
status inquiry messages.
Values: 5–30
Default: 10
RFC1315 Trap
Normal Tx Queue Size
When this parameter is set to “Enable,” the unit will send the standard
RFC1315 frame relay DTE circuit state change trap every time a DLCI
changes state, provided at least one destination IP address for trap is
configured in the SNMP configuration.
Values: Disable, Enable
Default: Disable
Each Frame Relay service has two distinct transmit queues: one for normalpriority traffic and one for high-priority traffic. At this time, only SCADA and
TCP Server traffic are considered high-priority and are placed in the highpriority queue. All other types of traffic are placed in the normal-priority
queue.
This parameter defines how many normal priority frames can be put in front
of a high-priority frame. The software always checks for high-priority frames
before placing normal-priority frames in the transmit queue. However, once
the frames are in the hardware transmit queue, their order of transmission
cannot be changed.
If SCADA and/or TCP Server are not up, set this parameter to 28 (the
default). If SCADA and/or TCP Server are up, set this parameter according to
the SCADA host system’s ability to support higher latency. For example, if a
SCADA host system has a timeout of 500 ms when polling remote devices
through a DDS Fr ame Rel ay servic e, the No rmal Tx Q ueue S ize param eter
should be set to 2. This would allow two 1500-byte IP frames to be sent
between SCADA frames without reaching the 500-ms limit. If the SCADA
host application has a timeout lower than 500 ms, this parameter should be set
to 1. This then ensures a minimum latency for SCADA applications.
However, it will slow IP traffic since only one IP frame at a time can be
placed in the hardw are transmit queu e.
Web Server Interface3-31
Default CIR (bps)
This is the Committed Information Rate (in bits per second) provided by your
frame relay service provider. The unit will apply this value to each DLCI
learned from the network side to gather statistics and to perform CIR
enforcem ent, if req uired. If a DLCI i s configu red with a CIR different from
the default, the DLCI configuration will be used instead.
Values: 0–1536000
Default: 0
Default Be (bps)
Enforce CIR and Be
Management DLCI
Management Auto IP
DLCI
This is the Excess Burst Rate (in bits per second) provided by your frame
relay service provider. The unit will apply this value to each DLCI learned
from the network side to gather statistics and to perform CIR enforcement, if
required. If a DLCI is configured with an Excess Burst different from the
default, the DLCI configuration will be used instead.
Values: 0–1536000
Default: 0
If this parameter is set to “Yes,” the unit will enforce Committed Information
Rate and Excess Burst according to the Link Injection Parameter.
Values: No, Yes
Default: No
NOTICE: The Auto Diagnostic parameter must be set to “Yes” to enforce CIR and
Be.
If there is a DLCI entered (and submitted) in this field, it will be the only
DLCI that looks for in-band management packets. If a value of “0” (zero) is
entered in this field, all DLCIs will look for management packets.
If this parameter is set to “Yes,” the unit will monitor the specified
management DLCI for five pings over 5 seconds, after which the unit uses the
destination address as its management IP address.
LMI Sourcing
FrameStart Auto
Discovery
3-32WANsuite 7105
If this parameter is set to “Yes,” the unit will source LMI messages for that
service. Set this pa rameter to “Yes” if the service is not paired .
When set to “No,” the unit will not be the source of LMI messages for that
service. LM I mess ages will be exchan ged tr ansparentl y betwee n the paire d
services.
Values: No, Yes
Default: No
NOTICE: If either side of the Frame Relay connection goes down, you will be
unable to remotely access any connected units.
When this parameter is set to “Yes,” the unit will send FrameStart discovery
and delay frames to each DLCI it learns as soon as the DLCIs are set active.
This is required to calculate round-trip delay as well as to discover remote
WANsuite units. This parameter should be set to “Yes” only on network
services that have a WANsuite unit(s) at the far end of the frame relay
connection. Also, if set to “Yes,” the unit will gather SLA parameters such as
frame and data delivery ratio as defined in the Frame Relay Forum
Implementation, FRF.13. Those gathered statistics are then displayed on the
DLCI Statistics Screen on page 3-51.
Values: No, Yes
Default: No

The Endpoint Table and its corresponding DLCIs will be saved in the
configuration database only after at least one endpoint parameter has been
changed and submitted as shown on the Endpoint Details Screen on
page 3-45.
NOTICE: The Endpoint Table and its corresponding DLCIs will be saved in the
configuration database only after at least one endpoint parameter has
been changed and submitted in the Endpoint Details Screen on
page 3-45. When in IP Gateway, if you decide to use a “discovered”
endpoint, you must rename it. A discovered endpoint cannot be used
elsewhere (i.e., IP Gateway) until it has been renamed. Also, it will not
be saved in the configuration database.
NOTICE: Endpoint names of the form PPP-Sn and SCADA-Sn are reserved by the
system. These system-generated endpoints cannot be modified.

IP Gateway Details Screen
The IP Gateway is a feature of the WANsuite 7105 that allows routing of IP
packets from one network to another using static routes configuration and/or
dynamic routing. The IP Gateway uses Routing Information Protocol (RIP) 1
or RIP 2 or Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing.
RIP 1 and RIP 2 are protocols that allow exchange of routing information
between two routers. With that information exchange, a router can build its
own routing tables that later can be used for “routing” IP packets.
OSPF is a shortest path first (SPF) or link-state protocol. OSPF is also an
internal gateway protocol (IGP) that distributes routing information between
routers in a single autonomous system (AS). OSPF chooses the least cost path
as the be st path.
While RIP is ideal for small- to medium-sized networks, OSPF is more
suitable for complex networks with a large number of routers. OSPF provides
equal cost multipath routing where packets to a single destination can be sent
via more than one interface simultaneously.
The IP Gateway also supports unnumbered networks. An unnumbered
network is a point-to-point connection without an assigned IP address This
feature reduces the number of IP addresses required.
Globally enables the trusted neighbors feature. If there is a list of trusted
neighbors in an IP Gateway, only RIP packets coming from those trusted
neighbors will be used to build the internal routing table.
Values: Enable, Disable
Default: Enable
RIP Inter val
RIP Domain
OSPF Enable
OSPF Router ID
Interval for RIP packet to be sent. Default is 30 seconds.
Value representing the RIP domain. Default is 0.
OSPF Parameters

Values: Disable, Enable
Default: Disable
This 32-bit number assigned to each router running the OSPF protocol
uniquely identifies the router within an autonomous system. Each router
requires a unique router ID. Default is the LAN IP address of the unit.
