Description
A traffic parameter that gives the maximum rate at
which cells can be transmitted. (For M4-DS3
modules only.)
The Node ID of the node which is currently
operating as peer group leader of the peer group to
which the node belongs. If a PGL has not been
elected, the value of Peer Group Leader is set to 0.
The Leadership priority value the node should
advertise in its nodal information group for the
given peer group. Only the value zero can be used
with nodes that are not PGL/LGN capable. If there
is no configured parent node index or no
corresponding entry in the PNNI Node Table, then
the advertised leadership priority is zero regardless
of this value.
This field is only displayed for 155Mbps Option
Cards. It allows you to select the physical type of
the port. The type can be either SONET
(Synchronous Optic Network) or SDH
(Synchronous Digital Hierarchy).
The level of importance of the port. Ports are
classified as follows:
• Backbone - Device or switch connections
(most important).
• Valuable - Servers or critical users (less
important).
• Regular - Normal users (least important).
For more information refer to Port Classification in
The Reference Guide.
The physical media type of the selected port. If the
port conforms to a certain standard (Repeater,
Transceiver, 10BaseT, etc.), this standard is
displayed. If the port does not conform to any
standard, Private is displayed.
The user can define a logical name to the port for
ease of use.
The port type; optionally includes reference to the
module to which it is attached and port connector
type.
The length of the ATM address, expressed as a
number of bits. The maximum length is 152 bits, as
ATM routing is done for only 19 byte addresses.
