Active Protocol — Displays the active OSI Layer protocol. This field displays None, FR (Frame
Relay), or PPP (Point-to-Point). The default setting is None.
If you select PPP, the following field appears:
PPP Type: This field displays BNCP or LEX.
Circuit State: Toggles between Active, Inactive and Invalid.
PT# — Displays the application ports (bridge ports) available from the host platform to the WAN.
If the active protocol is PPP, Local Management assigns only one application port per interface
number (IF#). If the active protocol is Frame Relay, Local Management assigns the available WAN
bridge ports from the host platform, one per DLCI.
You can assign WAN application ports to the 31 interfaces for the PPP configuration that suits your
needs. In a Frame Relay configuration, you can assign all WAN application ports to one interface.
In this example, the remaining 30 interfaces would not have WAN application ports available.
The quantity of application ports for a Frame Relay network is determined by the quantity of
DLCIs (Data Link Connection Identifiers) assigned to that Interface. This is determined either
manually or by the LMP (Link Management Protocol).
IF# — Displays the Interface that is associated with the application port.
LID — Displays the Link Identifier. If the active protocol is Frame Relay, the Data Link
Connection Identifier is displayed. If the active protocol for this interface is PPP, then PPP displays
in this field.
STATE — Displays the status of the application port. If the active protocol is Frame Relay, this
field displays the status as Active, Inactive, or Disabled (for No LMI). If the active protocol is PPP,
this field displays UP (for active) or DOWN (for inactive).
PORTS: [xx-xxx] — Toggles through the ports.
