3 - DLCI
The Data Link Connection Identifier (DLCI) option specifies the Frame Relay LAPF address for the PVC. This value
must be set to be the same as the value provided by the Frame Relay network provider.
When the frame relay router first starts up it will query the frame relay service to try to determine the LMI type. Once
the LMI type is determined, the PVC configurations will be known from the full status enquiry messages. If the DLCI
numbers of the PVC's on your service are determined during startup, the router will automatically create a remote site
profile for each PVC. The automatically created remote site profiles will be named "LinkxDLCIyyy" where x is the
physical link number the PVC is on and yyy is the DLCI of the PVC.
Default:
[16]
Range:
16 to 991
Considerations:
The PVC must be be toggled (disable – enable option 8. State) before this option takes effect.
4 - CIR
The Committed Information Rate (CIR) option specifies the data rate that the Frame Relay service has guaranteed to
provide.
This value must be set to the same as the value provided by the Frame Relay network provider. If the Frame Relay
network provider supplies values for Bc and T only, simply calculate the CIR value by using the following formula: CIR
= Bc/T.
Default:
[0 k]
Range:
0 to 2048 Kbps
Considerations:
When changing the CIR option for this PVC, the PVC must be be toggled (disable – enable option 8. State) before
the new value will take effect.
The value of 0 indicates that there is no commitment on the data rate.
The actual CIR may exceed the configured CIR because only complete frames are
transmitted. Frames will not be broken to fit within CIR when the upper limit is met, the
final frame will be transmitted in full. The only time this does not happen is when traffic
exceeds CIR + EIR, in which case the frame which would cause CIR to be exceeded will not
be transmitted.
The only restriction is that CIR + EIR > 0
