Changes To Troubleshooting And Testing; Using The Test Traffic Generation Feature To Run Loopback Tests - Bay Networks Baystream 7 Notice

The AS Boundary Router parameter has been revised as follows:
Parameter: AS Boundary Router
Path: Configuration Manager > Protocols > IP > OSPF > Global
Default: Yes
Options: Yes
Function: Indicates whether or not this router functions as an AS boundary
router. Only AS boundary routers are allowed to convert non-OSPF
routes into OSPF routes so that they can be passed along
throughout the OSPF routing domain. The router can be an AS
boundary router if one or more of its interfaces is connected to a
non-OSPF network (for example, RIP, BGP , or EGP).
Instructions: Set this parameter to Yes if this router functions as an AS boundary
router. Otherwise, accept the default value, No .

Changes to Troubleshooting and Testing

This section includes changes and additions to Troubleshooting and Testing.

Using the Test Traffic Generation Feature to Run Loopback Tests

Use the Test Traffic Generation feature to generate loopback test traffic from any
port on a BayStream switch. You can use Test Traffic Generation on ports that are
configured for SDLC or frame relay switching.
Test Traffic Generation is supported on the following link modules:
•
•
•
•
Test Traffic Generation requires that frames are HDLC type so that cyclic
redundancy checks (CRC) can identify bad frames received during the loopback
test.
Test Traffic Generation uses the BofL mechanism.
