Slip Service Connection Dialstrings - HP LCS60 Installation Manual

SLIP Service Connection Dialstrings

One of the following types of dialstrings (shown with the area/exch/name from the
example in Figure 5-1) may be used:
DESTINATION: mlkway/earth/morse.slip
DESTINATION: mlkway/earth/morse.slip..-m512:-q1:-v16
DESTINATION: mlkway/earth/morse.slip..-D
DESTINATION: mlkway/earth/morse.slip..154.12.23.10
The options for these dialstrings are described below:
-mN Specifies the maximum transmission unit (MTU) that the SLIP
connection can transport. The default SLIP MTU is 1006; the
MTU value must satisfy: 296 N 1006.
-qN Specifies whether priority queueing is enabled (1) or disabled
(0). By default, priority queueing is enabled. In priority queue-
ing, IP datagrams are marked as either interactive or non-
interactive; interactive datagrams are always queued in front of
non-interactive datagrams. The queue is located between the IP
protocol and the data switch, therefore, priority queueing only
affects datagrams flowing from the LCS60 to the data switch.
-vN Specifies the number of Van Jacobson TCP/IP header compres-
sion slots to use. The default is 16; the number of slots must
satisfy: 3 N 64. (Refer to the section Van Jacobson TCP/IP
Header Compression in Chapter 1.)
-D Specifies that the user be assigned an IP address dynamically
(rather than use his/her reserved IP address) provided a negoti-
able IP address has been administered in his/her client software
package. Without the -D option, the reserved IP address for the
user is assigned provided it exists and is not already in use.
