Chapter 4 Configuration Tables and Fields
Links Table
Keep 1 E Number of existing links. If the Keep
field is 0, the link will be ignored in the
route command and considered for the
optimize commands.
KEEP
*
Since slot, port
are included, this
field is always
set to 1.
*
Used 0 X Shows the size of the node after the
NMT builds a network using the
optimize command.
n/a
Reserve 600/600 O Trunk reserve. Estimate of the
overhead on each link needed for
collecting network statistics and other
administrative overhead. The reserve
size is subtracted from the total link
capacity prior to calculating routes.
The units of statistical reserve can be in
ATM cells (CPs) or Fastpackets (pps).
RESERVE1 /
RESERVE2
*/*
Defaults applied
to links between
BPX switches
and tiered
network feeders.
*/*
Rcv_Rate 0/0 O Receive rate. Largest number of pps or
cps that the node at site 1 can receive
over a link from site 2. The second
field is the largest number of pps or cps
that the node at site 2 can receive over
a link from site 1. Only used for
broadband links (T3/E3) at IGX/IPX
sites, or BXM links. The units are pps
or cps respectively.
If you enter 0 here, the default, NMT
will set this field to the highest value
possible for the card. Rcv_Rate
supported on the AIT, ALM, BTM,
and BXM card.
BB_MAX1 /
BB_MAX2
*/* */*
Red N P Redundancy. Specifies whether site has
redundant components. Y—site has
redundant components. N—sites does
not have redundant components.
RED
VT_Rate&
Type
0 O Virtual Trunk Rate. Bandwidth of the
trunk in cells per second. (VTs must
have VT in media field.)
VT_RATE
**
Traffic Blank 0 Types of traffic allowed on this link. If
blank, all types are allowed.
TRAFFIC
LRd N O Link redundancy. Y—spare trunk is
used on redundant link (for BPX to
IBX/IPX links only). N—spare trunk is
not used on redundant link.
BACKUP
Dist 0 E Distance between sites in miles or
kilometers. Must be consistent with the
Line Cost table in the Maintenance
menu.
DIST
