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 that should only be modi-
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
This option sets the total number of compression negotiation messages that will be sent
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
Default
Compression PRetry Count
set up for the physical port with which this virtual circuit is associ-
ated.
♦ Important Note ♦
The
Compression PRetry Count that should only be
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.
