will then be compared to other total path costs to determine the least "expensive" end-

prioritizes intra-nodal traffic; the higher the number, the higher the priority. (This pri-
ority has no effect on traffic exiting a node.)
A priority is also configured in Node Defaults, as well as for each logical port, SNA
PU, LLC2 host, IP interface, IPX interface, SVC subscriber, and PVC connection. The
device processor in the node uses these priorities to help determine the order in which
it will process protocols.
When configuring priorities, be careful to consider the types of
traffic being routed on other connections in the node.
identifies the LAN card in an FRX6000 or FRM, as defined in PROTOCOL.INI (
from the Main Menu).

identifies the ring number used by a frame relay-compliant source-route bridge at the
other end of this PVC. The value is normally assigned by a system administrator.
Each LAN ID must be unique within the network on which this
node will operate.
identifies the RLP and physical port containing the interface.
Make sure the physical frame relay port is not reserved for
backup DLCIs (as determined by the
parameter in the port record—see Chapter 6).

Make sure the DLCI is not part of a frame relay DLCI backup
group or frame relay PVC.
