Changing an M2PA Timer Set

This procedure is used to change the values of the M2PA timers in an M2PA timer set using the
chg-m2pa-tset command. The M2PA timers are used to control the behavior of the signaling link
assigned to an M2PA association (an association containing the M2PA adapter layer - adapter=m2pa)
during signaling link alignment and proving, and during times of transmit congestion.
The EAGLE 5 ISS contains 20 M2PA timer sets. One of these timer sets is assigned to an M2PA
association using the m2patset parameter of either the ent-assoc or chg-assoc command. If the
m2patset parameter is not specified with the ent-assoc command, or with the chg-assoc command
if the adapter layer for that association is being changed to M2PA, timer set 1 is automatically assigned
to the association.
CAUTION: Changing an M2PA timer set may affect the performance of any associations
using the timer set being changed.
The chg-m2pa-tset command uses these parameters.
:tset – The M2PA timer set being changed, 1 - 20.
:srctset – The timer values in an existing M2PA timer set can be copied to another M2PA timer
set, specified by the tset parameter. The srctset parameter specifies the timer set that is to be
copied. If the srctset parameter is specified, no other timer values can be specified, The srctset
parameter value cannot be the timer set specified by the tset parameter.
:ver – The M2PA version, either Draft 6 (ver=d6) or RFC (ver=rfc).
Note: The definitions of timers T1 and T3 for the Draft 6 version are different from the RFC version.
The T2 timer applies only to the RFC version. The defintions of timers T4N, T4E, T5, T6, T7, T16, T17
and T18 for are the same for the Draft 6 version and the RFC version.
The timer parameter descriptions and values are shown in
