Configuration steps
Disruptive Description
No The minimum retransmit time, in
milliseconds. The range of valid values is
20 through 5,000 ms and the default is
100 ms.
Yes You can configure standby circuits by
assigning a metric. Refer to
failover capabilities"
description of circuit failover and the use of
standby circuits.
Yes Applies VLAN tagging to a circuit and sets a
specific Layer 2 Class of Service (CoS).
Specify a vlan_id . Valid values are from 1
through 4095 and the default is 1. Refer to
"QoS, DSCP, and VLANs"
information about VLAN tagging.
No Sets the Layer 2 Class Of Service (L2CoS)
options for VLAN tagging. Options are for
F-Class traffic, and high, medium, and low
priority traffic. Specify a value for <n> from
0 through 7 (default is 0).
No Applies a DSCP tag to a circuit. Specify a
value for <n> from 0 through 63 (default is
0).
Refer to "QoS, DSCP, and VLANs"
page 24 for information about DSCP
tagging.
Yes Allows you to specify which side of the
circuit is the listener or initiator. If this is
not specified, the initiator or listener are
automatically selected based on the lower
and higher-order IP address. In NAT
environments, this can cause problems as
both sides of the circuit may have
lower-order addresses. When setting
initiator or listener options, a firmware
download to a previous version will not be
allowed until you set the default option.
No Sets the maximum number of retransmits
for the FCIP circuit before the connection
will be brought down. If operating on a
lossy network, increasing this value may
allow the FCIP circuit to remain active
when it may otherwise fail. Specify a value
for <rtx> from 1 through 16 (default is 8).
Yes Disables or enables the FCIP circuit.
