Introduction

C HAPTER

HAPTER

BOUT THE

Verilink’s WANsuite 6450 is a feature-rich, intelligent integrated access device (IAD) that manages voice and data applications in an ATM network. The WANsuite 6450 terminates a standards-based Symmetric High-Bit Rate Digital Subscriber Line (SHDSL) that originates from a Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) and provides interfaces for the end user’s communications equipment.

WAN

SUITE

6450

The WANsuite 6450 is ServiceAware™ IAD with the following hardware: an SHDSL network interface; a Constant Bit Rate (CBR) port configurable as T1 or E1; a Serial port software-configurable for V.35, V.36, X.21, RS-232, RS449, or EIA-530; a 10/100Base-T Ethernet port; an asynchronous Supervisory port; five tri-color status LEDs; and front panel reset and factory configuration buttons.

The Circuit Emulation Service (CES) support provides for the encapsulation of TDM traffic from end-user equipment into ATM cells for transport across the WAN to the DSLAM and on to the ATM network. This allows for the continued use of existing TDM equipment at the premise while the ATM network continues to grow and move further out to the edge. This unit supports CES over the CBR port and the Serial port.

A router or bridge using PPP/HDLC or Frame Relay protocol connects to the WANsuite 6450’s Serial port. The unit encapsulates the PPP data into ATM cells using Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) RFC 1483. Any router/ bridge supporting PPP over ATM (PPPoA) RFC 1483 encapsulation can be used at the other end of this ATM c onnection.

The IP Gateway feature enables IP packet routing throughout a LAN/WAN network architecture using static routing configuration or dynamic routing protocols (Routing Information Protocol − RIP 1 and RIP 2, or Open Shortest Path Fir st − OSPF), Dynamic Host Communications Protocol − DHCP, and Network Address Translation − NAT.

RIP 1 and RIP 2 allow routers to exchange routing information. The WANsuite 6450 then uses this information exchange to build routing tables

About the WANsuite 6450 1-1

for IP Packet routes. After building the routing tables, the unit periodically broadcasts the contents to neighboring routers so your network can choose the most efficien t routes a vailab le.

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, the WANsuite 6450 works with other routers in your telecommunications fabric to dynamically change routes “on the fly” to make use of the most effici ent and cost-effecti ve transit across your netw ork.

Bridging separate LANs together is another option for the IP traffic. Using the IEEE Standard 802.1D Transparent Bridging specification, the WANsuite 6450 can simplify your network architecture by allowing you to bridge separate LANs across a WAN so they operate as a single LAN.

Because IP Gateway enables the WANsuite 6450 to route IP traffic either statically or dynamically or to bridge IP traffic across your LAN/WAN architecture, your need for costly routers is substantially reduced. This onestop solution can help you meet the requirements of your many different applications.

DHCP uses a server-client 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. The flexibility to reassign IP Addresses saves the end user money by eliminating the need for a single IP Address for each piece of equipment on the LAN.

NAT enables an enterprise to set up two sets of IP Addresses − one s et for 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 a ccess to in ternal IP Addres ses from t he Int ernet.

The WANsuite 6450 gives service providers and enterprise customers the capability to monitor end-to-end network performance (with support of up to 16 virtual channels); isolate performance problems to the LAN, local loop, or ATM network; determine appropriate bandwidth needs; and monitor network trends to aid in future capacity planning.

All of the WANsuite 6450’s installation, performance configuration, traffic monitoring, alarm reporting, and diagnostic capabilities can be configured through the unit’s embedded Web server interface using Microsoft

Internet Explorer™. The Web server interface can be accessed locally through the Ethernet port or the Supervisory port, or remotely through the Network port. Especially advantageous is WANsuite’s advanced monitoring and control capability that gives network administrators the ability to plan future capacity requirements.

The unit’s built-in Service Aware technology lets network managers maximize available WA N bandwidth and verify SLAs. This management platform lets the end user see network activity (performance) and problems (diagnostics) on any permanent virtual circuit (PVC), access line, or physical circuit.

Features of the WANsuite 6450

Performance

Historically, WAN access devices have tended to perform well as singlefunction devices such as CSU/DSUs, but have not been optimized to address higher-level traffic issues such as service levels and integration. Verilink's architectur e and Web-based us er interfac e work together to address all acce ss issues such as services and applications, rather than as circuits and protocols, for except ional WAN managemen t perform ance.

To further leverage its Web browser interface, Verilink's new architecture also allows firmware to be upgraded via the Web from a standard browser, with password control, if desired.

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, the WA Nsuite 6450 can be managed by SNMP. By downloading all configuration parameters from the central site, no interaction is required at remote sites to establish connectivity. The unit 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.

Intelligent WA N Access Architecture

Verilink's next-generation WAN access architecture is built around a PowerPC™ processor with 50 MIPS of processing power and 16 Mbytes of onboard memory, and works with non-proprietary network management solutions via SNMP. An embedded Web server supplies a simple-to-use interface for configuration and statistics collection, with a service table for mapping services to ports and a user table for monitoring and controlling traffic.

About the WANsuite 6450 1-7

Supervisory Port

The WANsuite 6450 units provide nonvolatile memory retention of the unit configuration in case of a power failure. The unit will automatically restore normal service following a power loss and will retain pre-existing time and date information.

The SUPERVISORY port is a DB-9 female D CE c onnector co nfigure d for 8 bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit. Bit rates are configured through the Web server interface. (S ee Unit Access Details on page 3-26.) The Supervisory port speed can be set to 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, or 115200 bps. The initial default rate of the Supervisory port is 19200 bps.

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, after which the port speed is changed to the setting in the Supervisory interface s creen.

The WANsuite 6450 has an innovative, embedded Web-based user interface 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 6450 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 element s will not displ ay as described 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 Services as described on page 3-27.) You will not be able to allocate channels (see Channel Table Details Screen as described on page 3-59) un til the Service Table has been configured.

Configuration through the VT100 interface is covered in Chapter 4.

Web Server Interface 3-1

Web Server Access

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 via PPP over any port, or in-band via encapsulated IP traffic on the ATM WAN circuit.

To access the Web Server interface, type th e 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.

Unit 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 screen represe nts the to p of the navigation tree.

All the factory configurations set up an ATM service on the Network port with one configured virtual channel (VPI=0, VCI=32). Management data received on this channel (either WEB or SNMP) will be processed at the unit if it is encapsulated using RFC 1483 and directed to the unit’s IP address. (A Maintenance Reset will not change the unit’s IP address.)

The Serial HDLC configuration and the T1 ESF configuration will also accept PPPoA encapsulated data and deliver it to the Serial port.

The T1 SF, T1 ESF CAS/RBS, T1 SF CAS/RBS, Unframed T1, Serial CES, and Unstructured Serial CES configurations set up a CES service between the Network port and the T1/E1 CBR port or the Serial port using VPI=0, VCI=33. The T1 options configure the CBR port for the desired framing mode, and configure the CES service for 24 channels. For unframed T1 service, the CES service provides 1.544 Mbps of bandwidth for the service

3-4 WANsuite 6450

(1.536 Mbps for the T1 channels and 8 kbps for framing). The E1 configurations set up the CBR port to run E1 and have 30, 31, or 32 channels delivered to the CES service. The Serial CES configurations set up the CBR port to run E1 CCS or Unframed E1, but allocates all 31 or 32 channels to the Serial port.

The PPoA-IPCP and PPPoA-NAPT set up a PPP connection over ATM using the VPI=0, VCI=32. The resulting PPP interface then uses PPP negotiation to obtain the IP address, mask, and DNS address. After successful negotiation, the DHCP server starts on the Ethernet Lan. For PPPoA-IPCP, the negotiated IP address is appli ed to th e LAN, w hereas in the case of PPP oA-NAPT , the negotiated IP address is applied to the WAN.

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 CBR screen presents a table that provides current error status and alarm threshold information.

Acceptable alarm thresholds are set for periods of 15 minutes (900 seconds) and sampled every second. The error types listed in the following paragraphs can be preset to a value between 0 and 900 seconds. Setting a field to “0” (zero) dis ables the a larm on that st atistic. To effectivel y disab le alarm reporting , set all fields to “0” (zero).

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.

The four columns o f the s tatus tab le are as follows:

• Status: Displays the current status of the CBR port.

• Alarm: Display s the alarm value of the network port. The unit declares an

alarm as soon as the count exceeds the threshold set.

• Count: Display s the number of even ts or occurrences of this statistic that

have been dete cted .

• Threshold: Displays a read/write field that can be set to a desirable

threshold.

The table provides error sta tus and al arm thre shold in formation f or the following error pa rameters:

Each Frame Relay service has two distinct transmit queues: one for normalpriority traffic and one for high-priority traffic. 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 normalpriority f rames in t he transm it queue. However , once t he fram es are in t he hardware transmit queue, their order of transmission cannot be changed.

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 d ifferent from the default, the DLCI configuration will be used instead.

Values: 0–1536000 Default: 0

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

3-30 WANsuite 6450

from the network side to gather statistics and to perform CIR enforcement, if required. If a DLCI is configured with a different Excess Burst from the default, the DLCI configuration will be used instead.

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 5 pings over 5 seconds, after which the unit uses the destination address as its management IP address.

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.

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 services that have a WANsuite 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 as shown on page 3-39.

Time and date of the Last Change.

Current QOS profile in use. The default profile is 0 (zero), which is used for UBR tra ffic.

When QOS profile “0” is used, the available bandwidth will be equally shared among all configured channels. QOS “0” cannot be modified.

If one virtual channel requires more bandwidth than others, configure another QOS profile and set its peak cell rate (PCR) to the required value. However, the sum of the PCR s of a ll configur ed chan nels mus t be no greater t han the available AAL5 bandwidth. The available PCR on an SHDSL-ATM link with a line rate of 2304 kbps is about 5433 cells per second. When oversubscription is used, the sum of the PCRs for VBR or UBR channels may exceed th e AAL5 bandwidt h.

Encapsulation Type used. Default is LLC-MUX, which uses RFC 1483 LLC encapsulat ion. If S erial PPP is select ed, PPP traffic rec eived fr om the Serial port will be sent over the ATM port using RFC 1483 PPPoA encapsulation. There can be only one VCI configured for Serial PPP.

Serial HD LC is sim ilar to Serial P PP excep t, when you sele ct Serial H DLC, data is encapsulated transparently. Any type of HDLC traffic will be supported. Because this is not a standard encapsulation, a WANsuite unit must reside at each end of the connection. Even if Serial HDLC or Serial PPP encapsulation is configured, routed IP traffic received on this channel will be forwarded to the IP Gateway, if IP Gateway is configured.

Traffic Type

Row Status

VC-MUX is used for a null encapsulation around user data, as in the case of a WAN PPP connection terminated in the WANsuite.

If FRF5 is used, the ATM channel implements FRF.5 Network Interworking, providing a Frame Relay link that can transport data for one or more DLCIs. If FRF8 is used, the ATM channel implements FRF.8.1 Service Interworking, providing a conversion from a Frame Relay PVC to this ATM PVC.

Figure 3.35

Virtual Chan nel Details Screen

In addition to the above-described parameters, there is an SLA Timer(s) parameter that may be set on the ATM Virtual Channel Details screen. When this timer expires (in seconds), the unit sends a proprietary frame over this virtual circuit. The timer validates Service Level Agreements by calculating the Frame Delivery Ratio, the Data Delivery Ratio, and the Round Trip Delay. When enabled, this timer also determines the IP address of the far-end unit, which must also be a WANsuite unit. A setting of “0” disables SLA measurements.

The Round-trip Time values are updated only when Loopback Status is Active and response loopback cells are received. When the loopback is initiated from the other ATM endpoint, the Round-trip Time values remain at zero.

Continui ty Check

The Virtual Channel OAM menu includes an End to End Continuity Check that, when activated, will continuously check for the purpose of detecting ATM layer defects in real time. Continuity Check may be activated in one or both directions. The ATM endpoint that activates the Continuity Check selects which direction applies. To activate and End-to-End Continuity Check, select the Type an d click “S ubmit.” The n click “A ctivate.” If activate d success fully, the Status will indicate “Active.” If unsuccessful, the Status will indicate “Activation Failed.” The Status is “Ready” when no continuity check (CC) is active. The three types of CCs include the following:

• Sink − a unidirectional CC where one endpoint is the Sink.

• Source − a unidirectiona l CC where one endpoi nt is the Source.

• Sink and Source − a bidirectional CC where each endpoint sends one CC cell

every second (the Source) and each endpoint (the Sink) expects to receive one CC cell every second.

When the CC Sink does not receive user c ells or a CC cell wi thin 3 .5 seconds, the AIS will show Active, which is an Alarm indication, and one AIS cell will be generated once per second toward the other endpoint.

To automatically activate an End to End Continuity Check when a VC is first connected, select the Type and set Auto Activate to “Enable.” The next time the VC Oper Status changes from Down to Up, the CC will automatically be activated.

Remote Defect Indication, or RDI, indicates “Receiving” if RDI cells are being received. The RDI state will clear after about 3.5 seconds of no received R DI cells.

Alarm Indication Signal, or AIS, shows “Active” if the VC is receiving AIS cells. The AIS state will clear after about 3.5 seconds of no received AIS cells when no C C is act ive. Wh en CC is a ctive, the AIS s tate will clear on rec eipt of a CC cell or a user cell.

FRF5 DLCI Table

One or more DLCIs may be created for the Frame Relay link carried over ATM for an FRF5 VC. When a DLCI is intended to transport Frame traffic to a Frame Relay link on the Serial port, and endpoint is associated with that DLCI. It is advisable, but not necessary, to use the same DLCI number on the Serial po rt for the FRF5 DLCI.

If an FRF5 DLCI has no associate endpoint name, that DLCI’s Frame traffic will terminate inside the WANsuite 6450. One application for having no associated endpoint is to use the DLCI for router traffic, which is set up by an IP circuit whose endpoint names the FRF5 endpoint for this VPI/VCI/DLCI beginning with the letter “I.

The Rece ived FEC N/BEC N column shows w hether t he current frames are indicating Forward Explicit Congestion Notification or Backward Explicit Congestion Notification.

Maximum cell arrival jitter in 10-µs increments that the reassembly process will tolerate in the cell stream without producing errors on the CBR service interface. Default is 100 for a 1000-µs Cell Delay Variation (CDV).

Time in milliseconds for the cell loss integration period. If cells are continuously lost during the specified period of time, Cell Loss Status is set to “Loss.” Default is 2500 ms.

This feature applies only to circuit emulation of E1 CCS, E1 CAS, and Serial CES services. When enabled, the WANsuite 6450 will automatically configure the number of channels (N) allocated to the service according to the negotiated SHDSL line rate. Channels are allocated starting with channel/time slot 1 in consecutive order until N channels have been allocated to the service. An emulated E1 CCS or Ser ial service may allocat e channe ls/time slo ts 1−31. Refer to the table below that shows E1 Nx64 Basic Service Without Signaling (E1 CCS ).

Values: 0−FF (Hex) Default: 7F

NOTICE: Only channels with a non-zero Service parameter value are assembled

into ATM cells and transported across the SHDSL network. Similarly, received ATM cells should only contain data for channels with a nonzero Service parameter value. When reassembling the data stream from the received ATM cells, only the channels with a non-zero Service parameter will be assigned data from the ATM cells. The non-active channels with a Service parameter of “0” will be filled with an idle pattern.

Serial CES Configuration

The WANsuite 6450 has the capability to multi ple x/demultiplex the Serial interface data stream with the CBR interface data stream. The multiple xing/ demultiplexing is external to the AAL1 SAR; the user controls it by designating time slots for the C ES service on the CBR or Serial port. To configure the Serial interface for CE S service, perform the follo wing steps:

1 On the Services screen (Figure 3.24 on page 3-27), click on the Service

Index associated with the Seria l interface (5). This will cause the unit to display the Service Details screen for the Serial interface. On the Service Details screen (Figu re 3.25 on pa ge 3-27), select “CES” from the “Type” pull-down menu.

2 On the Serial screen (Figure 3.17 on page 3-20), configure the Serial

interface to your requirements. You must set the “Mode” parameter to “DCE.” If the required time slots for the Serial interface are contiguous and not already all ocat ed to the CBR port , yo u may allocat e t he req u ired channels on the Serial scree n. I f you have not allocated channels for the Serial interface on the Serial screen, use the Channel Table Details screen (Step 3 below) to specify the channels for the Serial CES service.

3 On the Channel Table Details screen (Figure 3.44 on page 3-59), set the

desired channel’s “Ra te” para meter to “64K,” and the “Service” parameter to the Service Index for the Serial interface (5).

Valid Channel Ranges for Serial and CBR Interfaces

The range of channels available to the Serial interface depends on the type of CES service. The table below shows the range of channels available to the Serial and CBR interfaces for each type of CES servi ce. The type of CES

SNMP

Figure 3.48

The unit detects and reports E1 network alarms and provides several options for reporting them, one of which is SNMP traps. When a network alarm occurs, the unit sends a trap message to as many as eight destinations on your network. The unit will report each alarm by transmitting an SNMP “trap” to each non-zero Trap IP Address. The SNMP Details screen (Figure 3.49) lets you configure the SNMP parameters described below.

Accepts a character string identifying the group authorized to perform write operations. The default setting is “Private.”

Accepts a character string, which is included in SNMP traps generated by the unit. The default setting is “Public.”

Accepts the IP Address of a network device where alarm reporting traps are to be sent.

A trap is a mecha nism that permits a device to send an alarm for certa in network events to an SNMP management station. The Trap Log screen (Figure 3.50) shows all generated traps.

The table shown in this screen lists each trap by its Index number, and displays the type of error captured by the trap (Trap Number) and the date and time that the trap was stored (Time Stamp).

Click the hyperlink at the top of the screen to display the latest trap information in the table. To remove all trap information stored in memory, click the “Delete All Traps” button at the bottom of the screen (not shown in the figure below).

Top Talkers

Figure 3.50

Clicking on the “Top Talkers” link in the navigation tree displays a screen (Figure 3.51) used to set the parameters for and initiate the generation of a list of IP Addresses ranked in terms of the number of frames and octets they have transmitted during a specified reporting period. This report allows MIS managers to determine who is generating the most traffic on a WAN based on IP Addresses.

NOTICE: While you may request any number, the unit is internally limited to a

maximum of 20.

As soon as the specified Duration for the report has elapsed, the screen will refresh itself and the resulting report-specific information will be displayed in the outlined box at the bottom of the screen. This report comprises elements as defined in the following paragraphs.

This field displays a unique number used to identify the generated report. This number is generated automatically, is incremented sequentially for each report, and can be used by management stations for automatic polling (via the ipadv2.mib).

Size

Displays the actual number of IP Addresses identified as Top Talkers in the generated report. The maximum report size is 20.

Start Time

Displays the time at which the Top Talkers report was initiated (based on System U p Time).

System Up Time

Displays the amount of time that the unit has been operational since it was turned on or last reset.

IP Gateway

The Top Talkers table reports in descending order the IP Addresses that have generated the most traffic during the requested report’s duration. For each IP Address listed, the report displays the number of Rx frames, Rx octets, Tx frames, and Tx octets that have been passed across it. In addition, the Timestam p field in dicates th e time a t which a packet w as exam ined for the specified IP Address.

The IP Gateway is a feature 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.

OSPF Enable

OSPF Router ID

Globally enables RIP 1, RIP 2, or No RIP.

Values: Disable, Enable RIP1, Enable RIP2 Default: Enab le (RIP 2)

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

Interval for RIP packet to be sent. Default is 30 seconds.

Value representing the RIP domain. Default is 0.

OSPF Parameters

This Protocol is suitable for complex networks with a large number of routers. If a large network is involved, OSPF may be the solution for the user.

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.
