ED-EPORT command parameters

Table 11-1, ED-EPORT command provisionable parameters lists the provisionable parameters for the ed-eport command:

Table 11-1: ED-EPORT command provisionable parameters

Parameter

Description

dplxmd

Provisioned Duplex Mode may have one of the following values:

  • Half

  • Full

  • Auto (initial value)

Duplex Mode applies only to LNW66 10/100T Fast Ethernet ports.

epmode

Ethernet Port Monitoring Mode may have one of the following values:

  • Auto (initial value) - The port automatically transitions to the in-service state upon detection on the port of a valid input.

  • NMON (not monitored)

  • IS (In Service)

eppm

Data Port PM Enable. Use the Performance → Prov PM Settings command from the System View menu to set this performance monitoring parameter to one of the following values:

  • Enable (initial value)

  • Disable

This parameter controls whether Ethernet performance monitoring is enabled or disabled for the specified Ethernet port.

tcamd

TCA Monitoring Mode. This parameter specifies whether performance monitoring Threshold Crossing Alert reporting is enabled or disabled for the port. Use the Performance → Prov PM Settings command from the System View menu to set this performance monitoring parameter to one of the following values:

  • Enable

  • Disable (initial value)

TCA reporting will not begin until tcamd is enabled and port monitoring mode is enabled (eppm = Enabled), and the port is in service (epmode = IS).

tcamd does not apply to LNW78.

fcmd

Flow Control Mode may have one of the following values:

  • Enable (Enable Transmit & Receive)

  • Disable (Disable Transmit & Receive)

  • AUTO - autonegotiate (initial value)

  • Drop - Disable end-to-end flow-control Transmit & Receive

ENABLE and DISABLE only control Network-element controlled (local) flow-control. Both ENABLE and DISABLE still allow Customer Equipment controlled end-to-end flow-control. Initial value is ENABLE.

DROP applies only to the LNW63, LNW64, LNW70/LNW170, LNW74, and LNW87. DROP both disables Network-element controlled flow-control and drops end-to-end flow-control messages.

AUTO does not apply to optical FE ports (ports 17-24) on the LNW74, to optical ports on LNW70/LNW170, or to FE electrical PTM ports. Initial value is ENABLE.

fcmd does not apply to the LNW78.

lnrate

Line Rate.

Port Provisioned Line Rate for 10/100T Fast Ethernet (FE) and 10/100-PL Private Line Ports, may be assigned one of the following values:

  • 10M (sets the port as a 10 Mbs port)

  • 100M (sets the port as a 100 Mbs port)

  • AUTO (initial value [auto negotiates the port rate])

Parameter ONLY applies to FE ports on LNW66, LNW71, and LNW74 (electrical only) circuit packs.

Line Rate for the LNW87 FE/GBE-PL. This parameter is used to provision the expected type of PTM (SFP) for multi-rate data packs that support per-port provisioning, subject to the following constraints:

  • lnrate may not be changed for ports that have cross-connections or loopbacks.

  • lnrate may not be changed for ports with admin=ENABLE.

  • lnrate may not be changed if any other parameters are included in the request, and the command modifier must match lnrate.

Line Rate has the following values for the LNW87:

  • GX mode: For the LNW87, sets the port to operate with optical GbE PTMs.

  • GT mode: For the LNW87, sets the port to operate with electrical GbE PTMs.

  • FT mode: For the LNW87, sets the port to operate with electrical FE PTMs.

  • FX mode: For the LNW87, sets the port to operate with optical FE PTMs.

autoneg

Auto-Negotiation may have one of the following values:

  • ENABLE - Enables autonegotiation (initial value)

  • DISABLE - Disables autonegotiation

When autonegotiation is Disabled, if any of fcmd, lnrate, mdix or dplxmd parameters are set to AUTO, the NE maintains previously resolved operational states. If a state is unresolved, the following settings take effect:

  • fcmd = ENABLE

  • lnrate = 100M

  • dplxmd = FULL

  • mdix = MDI

This parameter does not apply to optical Fast Ethernet (FE) ports; ports 5-8 on the LNW70/LNW170 circuit pack or ports 17-24 on the LNW74 circuit pack. This parameter does not apply to Electrical PTM GbE/FE ports.

This parameter does not apply to LNW78.

dftporttag

Default Port Tag (Default Vlan ID) from the Configuration → Data → Create Port Tag command is an integer in the range "1-4093", or "0". A "0" means that the user does not want a default value to be set.

This parameter is valid only in TRANSPARENT mode and after the port is already assigned as a member of a Virtual Switch (VRTSW).

The dftporttag value cannot be on or be provisioned in the active composite list of Port Tag identifiers added by the addporttag.

This parameter does not apply to the LNW71 10/100-PL Private Line ports, the LNW74 10/100 T/F Fast Ethernet ports, the LNW63/LNW64 GBE PL Gigabit Ethernet Private Line ports, or the LNW87 FE/GBE PL ports.

For LNW70/LNW170 and LNW78 packs only, dftporttag values can be provisioned in another virtual switch.

A default porttag cannot be entered if porttype is INTERIOR or if portrole is NETWORK

dftpri

Port Default Priority

Legal values for LNW66, LNW67, and LNW68 ports are

  • High

  • Low

  • Not Applicable (initial value)

A high priority gives a port a higher priority for service than another port.

On the LNW70/LNW170, this parameter is used to provision the default CoS. This parameter is only valid if the selected port is part of a virtual switch and the vlantagmd of the circuit pack is SWITCHED and the porttype is BOUNDARY. The allowed values for dftpri are integers in the range 0 to 3 and NA. Value 3 is the highest priority and 0 (initial value) the lowest. This parameter is not valid if trafmgmtmd is set to TAGPORT or COSTAGPORT. This parameter is also ignored if trafmgmtmd is set to PORT and hlayercos is set to DSCP.

On the LNW78, this parameter is the provisioned default CoS having effect only if trafmgmtmd is PORT or COSPORT. The allowed values for dftpri are integers in the range 1 (Class C - lowest priority) to 3 (Class A - highest value). 1 is the initial value. Changing dftpri is only possible when all QoS services created on this port are deleted. In this scenario, traffic is not interrupted but is metered until the new QoS services are created for the new dftpri.

This parameter does not apply to the LNW63, LNW64, LNW71, LNW74, or LNW87 ports.

tagfilter

Tag Filter. This parameter is used to enable/disable VLAN/Port Tag filtering and may be one of the following:

  • ENABLE (initial value): allows only provisioned VLANs/port tags on a port.

  • DISABLE: allows all VLANs/port tags on a port.

Tag Filter does not prevent creating, modifying, or deleting VLANs.

This parameter does not apply to the LNW63, LNW64, LNW71, LNW74, or LNW87 Ethernet ports.

bcratelimit

Broadcast and Multicast rate limit. This is the data rate limit, in Mbps, for incoming packets whose destination address is the broadcast address (FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF). It also includes all multicast addresses (XO-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX where “O” is an odd hexadecimal digit) including Bridge Filtered MAC group addresses used by PAUSE frames, BPDUs, Link Aggregation, etc. It also limits incoming packets whose destination address has not been learned (and therefore are broadcasted). This limit applies to the aggregate of all traffic at a port. While broadcast rate limiting is always enabled at a port, setting the limit greater than or equal to the port speed has the effect of no rate limiting.

Valid value for the LNW70/LNW170 is an integer between 0 and 4000000, representing Kbps. Valid value for the LNW78 is an integer between 0 and 1000000, representing Kbps. A value of 0 (initial value) disables broadcast rate limiting.

This parameter is valid for LNW70/LNW170 and LNW78 circuit pack LAN ports only if the selected port is part of a virtual switch and the VLAN Tagging Mode of the circuit pack is set to Switched.

This parameter not valid in NOTAG mode.

This parameter applies only to the LNW70/LNW170.

stvid

Spanning Tree VLAN ID (0 - 4095). Values:

  • An integer in the range 0 to 4095. The value 0 means no VLAN tag. Initial value is 0.

This parameter not valid in NOTAG mode.

This parameter applies only to the LNW70/LNW170.

ethfcs

Ethernet Frame Check Sequence (FCS). Controls whether to drop errored frames due to FCS or let them pass. Regardless of this setting, errored frames are always counted in the EFCRC counter. Values:

  • ENABLE (Initial value) - Drop errored frames.

  • DISABLE - Pass errored frames.

This parameter applies only to the LNW63, LNW64 and LNW87.

admin

Port Administration Control. This parameter is used to enable/disable a port. It will enable/disable all frames to and from a port. Values:

addporttag

Port Tag identifiers, from the Configuration → Data → Create Port Tag command, to be added. Values: An integer in the range 1 to 4,093.

The addporttag value cannot be the same as a value provisioned for the dftporttag parameter.

Except for the LNW70/LNW170 and LNW78 circuit packs, this parameter is valid only in Transparent (TRANS) mode and may not be a value in another Virtual Switch.

For the LNW70/LNW170 and LNW78 circuit packs, this parameter is valid when vlantagmd is set to SWITCHED and the port belongs to a virtual switch with tagmd set to Transparent. Values can also be provisioned in another virtual switch.

This parameter does not apply to the LNW63, LNW64, LNW71, LNW74, or LNW87 , Ethernet ports.

delporttag

List of Port Tag identifiers to be deleted. Values: An integer in the range 1 to 4,093. The initial status of this list is empty.

The addporttag or delporttag parameter can be provisioned by this command but not both. They must be provisioned by separate command instances.

This parameter is valid when vlantagmd is set to TRANS or when vlantagmd is set to SWITCHED.

and the port belongs to a virtual switch with tagmd set to TRANS.

This parameter does not apply to the LNW63, LNW64, LNW71, LNW74, or LNW87.

rcf

Remote Client Fail. This parameter enables/disables Remote Client Fail message detection and generation.

Values:

  • ENABLE - Enables Remote Client Fail message

  • DISABLE - Disables Remote Client Fail message (Initial value)

This parameter applies only to the LNW63, LNW64, LNW70/LNW170, LNW74 and LNW87 circuit packs when VLAN Tagging Mode (vlantagmd) is set to NOTAG.

This parameter must be enabled at both ends of the circuit in order to function.

rcf-linkdown

Remote Client Fail Link Shutdown. When rcf is enabled, this parameter controls link shutdown by Remote Client Fail message reception.

Values:

  • ENABLE - Enables link shutdown (Initial Value)

  • DISABLE - Disables link shutdown.

This parameter applies only to the LNW63, LNW64, LNW70/LNW170, LNW74 and LNW87 circuit packs when VLAN Tagging Mode (vlantagmd) is set to NOTAG.

Link Loss Return (LLR) is a feature on some external equipment. External equipment with LLR enabled will stop sending link pulses back to the LNW63/64/70/74 if the LNW63/64/70/74 has stopped transmitting link pulses to the external equipment due to a link shutdown performed by the Remote Client Fail Link Shutdown feature. Therefore, when the LNW63/64/70/74 is connected to equipment that has the Link Loss Return feature enabled, the Remote Client Fail Link Shutdown (rcf-linkdown) option should be disabled to avoid a link shutdown locking problem. Customers planning to use the CSF feature with RCF-Linkdown enabled should disable LLR on the external equipment.

rcf_rdi

Remote Client Fail Reverse Defect Indication. This parameter is used to enable/disable the reverse direction of two-way Auto Link Shutdown (ALS) using GFP RDI control frames and may have one of the following values:

  • ENABLE — Enable Two-way (ALS) Auto Link Shutdown (Initial Value).

  • DISABLE

This parameter applies to both FE and GE interfaces on the LNW63, LNW64, LNW70, LNW74, LNW87, and LNW170.

This parameter is significant when both Remote Client Fail and Remote Client Fail Link Shutdown are enabled.

rcf_ldhotmr

Remote Client Fail Link Down Hold-off Timer. Only in effect when rcf_linkdown is enabled and the link shutdown was due to VCG failure (inc. VCG failed). It specifies the delay time between the declaration of sink client signal fail defect, and the link shutdown along with the generation of the ALS (auto link shutdown) alarm.

Values:

  • An integer in the range of 0 to 10000 milliseconds (10 seconds), in 100 millisecond steps.

  • Infinity (TL1: 99,999 msec)

The default value is 200 msec.

This parameter applies to the LNW70, LNW170, LNW74, LNW63, LNW64, LNW87.

fefi_det

Far End Fault Indication Detection.

Different responses to FEFI are available according to the following values:

  • LAN — The LAN component of FEFI detection behavior is enabled.

  • LAN_RCF — Both the LAN and RCF components of FEFI detection behavior are enabled.

  • RCF — The RCF component of FEFI detection behavior is enabled.

  • DISABLE — FEFI detection disabled (Initial Value).

For values that include the LAN component: When FEFI is detected at the receiver, a LAN FERF (FEFI) alarm may be generated and, if link_good = DISABLE, idle codes are sent by the transmitter.

For values that include the RCF component: When FEFI is detected at the receiver, if rcf = ENABLE, a Remote Client Fail message, using the RTRV-EQPT fefi_code, is sent to the WAN.

If rcf = ENABLE, and a Remote Client Fail message having the RTRV-EQPT fefi_code is received from the WAN, a GFP_RCF alarm may be generated for the associated VCG.

This parameter applies to optical FE ports on the LNW74, LNW70/170, and LNW87.

When vlantagmd is set to SWITCHED, only values LAN and DISABLE are valid.

Does not apply to a LAG. It does apply to a member por t of a LAG.

fefi_gen

Far End Fault Indication Generation.

Different FEFI generation codes are available according to the following values:

  • LAN — The LAN component of FEFI generation behavior is enabled.

  • LAN_RCF — Both the LAN and RCF components of FEFI generation behavior are enabled.

  • RCF — The RCF component of FEFI generation behavior is enabled.

  • DISABLE — FEFI generation disabled (Initial Value).

For values that include the LAN component, when a fault is detected at the receiver, FEFI is sent by the transmitter.

For values that include the RCF component: If rcf = ENABLE and rcf_linkdown = ENABLE, and a Remote Client Fail message having the RTRV-EQPT fefi_code is received from the WAN, FEFI is sent by the transmitter.

This parameter applies to optical FE ports on the LNW74, LNW70/170, and LNW87.

When vlantagmd is set to SWITCHED, only values LAN and DISABLE are valid.

Does not apply to a LAG. It does apply to a member por t of a LAG.

link_good

Link Good.

When link_good is enabled, the port transmitter does not insert idles in response to faults or FEFI detected at the receiver. Because FEFI may still be inserted in place of transmitted data when fefi_gen = LAN, LAN_RCF, or RCF, to assure that data can pass regardless of the state of the receiver, fefi_gen must be disabled.

Values:

  • ENABLE — Enable link_good.

  • DISABLE — Disable link_good (Initial Value).

This parameter applies to optical FE ports on the LNW74, LNW70/170, and LNW87.

Does not apply to a LAG. It does apply to a member por t of a LAG.

jumbo

JUMBO Frame Support. This parameter specifies whether JUMBO frames of up to 10240 bytes are supported on the port, addressed by the aid. Disabling JUMBO support improves latency for sub-rate services and drops JUMBO size frames.

Values:

  • ENABLE (Initial Value)

  • DISABLE

This parameter applies only to the LNW71 circuit pack.

Note: The LNW66, LNW67 and LNW68 do not have a setting for maximum frame size. For these packs, the maximum size of the frame is the same as for the LNW71 when jumbo is DISABLE (1536 bytes maximum including MAC DA through MAC FCS inclusive).

Note: Other circuit packs do not use the jumbo parameter (see mtu_size).

mtu_size

The MTU size parameter specifies the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) size (in bytes) supported on the port. The MTU size is the size of the payload in the Ethernet frame, excluding Source and Destination Address, Type and CRC field, but including all VLAN tags. Any VLAN on the frames or added to the frame by the system will effectively reduce the maximum MTU size. This parameter applies only to the LNW63, LNW64, LNW70/LNW170, LNW74, LNW78 and LNW87 circuit packs.

  • For LNW63/64/70/78 ports, the valid value is an integer in the range 46 to 10222 (default is 1508).

  • For LNW74 ports, the valid value is an integer in the range 1500 to 9614 (default is 1508).

emsdt

Exceeded MTU Size Drop Threshold. This parameter specifies the point at which an alarm is generated when the ratio (Exceeded MTU size drop count / Total frame received count) surpasses the set threshold.

Value: an integer in the range 0 (feature disabled) to 1000 (100%), in steps of 1 (0.1%). The initial value is 0 (feature is disabled).

“Feature disabled” indicates that the “exceeded MTU size drop” (emsd) alarm is NOT generated when the threshold is surpassed.

This parameter applies to the LNW64, LNW70/LNW170, LNW74, and LNW87 circuit packs.

mdix

Crossover Mode. This parameter sets the crossover mode for the port.

Values:

  • Auto (Initial default):

    The system determines if crossover is needed, then automatically sets the port to AUTOMDIX or AUTOMDI mode.

  • MDIX:

    RJ-45 TXP/TXN pins are transmit

    RJ-45 RXP/RXN pins are receive

  • MDI:

    RJ-45 TXP/TXN pins are receive

    RJ-45 RXP/RXN pins are transmit

This parameter does not apply to the LNW66/67/68 circuit packs or to optical ports.

For the LNW74 circuit pack, when autoneg is set to DISABLE, mdix is automatically set to MDIX.

The mdix parameter applies to electrical SPF (GbE/FE) ports.

ethertype

Ethernet Type field (TPID). Used to interwork with other vendors' equipment using stacked VLAN.

This parameter is only valid when the VLAN Tagging Mode of the circuit pack is Transparent.

For the LNW70/LNW170/LNW78 circuit packs, this parameter is only valid if the selected port on the pack is part of a virtual switch (the VLAN Tagging Mode of the virtual switch must be Transparent) and the VLAN Tagging Mode of the circuit pack is Switched. Values:

  • A string in the range "0601" to "FFFF".

  • The default value is "FFFF" (hexadecimal).

porttype

Port Type. Specifies whether the port is at the boundary of the DiffServ domain or is a port interior to the DiffServ domain. Used in provisioning QoS services.

Valid values are

  • Boundary (Initial value)

  • Interior

This parameter applies only to the LNW70/LNW170 and LNW78 circuit pack ports, when the port is part of a virtual switch, and vlantagmd is SWITCHED.

For the LNW78 the only allowed value is Boundary.

portrole

Port Role. Port Role controls how tags are added/removed/processed. In typical applications, “boundary” ports are “customer” ports and “interior” ports are “network” ports. Port role has the following values:

Valid values are

  • Customer (Initial value): The port carries packets, typically from one customer, for one or more rate-controlled services. The port may have a default VLAN ID or default port tag. Customer ports are normally configured as boundary ports.

  • Network: The port carries packets typically from multiple customers. Port must not have a default VLAN ID or a default port tag. Network ports are typically configured as interior ports, but may also be boundary ports in some network configurations.

This parameter applies only to the LNW70/LNW170 and LNW78 circuit pack ports, when the port is part of a virtual switch, and vlantagmd is SWITCHED.

For the LNW78, the only allowed value is Customer.

trafmgmtmd

Traffic Management Mode. Specifies how the packets will be divided into traffic flows and the services that can be provided at the port.

Values are:

  • NOTC: This mode is valid for ports with porttype BOUNDARY only in TRANS and 802.1Q tagmd. It is also valid for Private Line ports. There is no traffic conditioning of packets that are received at the port. This mode allows interworking with LNW66/67/68.

  • PORT (Initial value): This mode is valid for ports with porttype BOUNDARY only in TRANS and 802.1Q tagmd (see ENT-VRTSW). It is also valid for Private Line ports. All traffic received at the port is processed by a single traffic conditioner. The user_priority bits are remarked with the dftpri and the drop precedence determined from the traffic conditioner according to the provisioned mapping (see ED-ERATE).

    When the hlayercos parameter is set to DSCP, All traffic received at the port with the same Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) is processed by a single traffic conditioner for the CoS that is provisioned for that DSCP (see dscp2cos). There can be one service for each provisioned CoS (up to 4) at the port. The user_priority (L2) bits are remarked with the CoS and the drop precedence, which was determined from the traffic conditioner, according to the provisioned dscp2cos mapping.

    When hlayercos is set to NONE, all traffic received at the port is processed by a single traffic conditioner. The user priority bits are remarked with the dftpri and the drop precedence determined from the traffic conditioner according to the provisioned mapping.

  • COSPORT: This mode is valid for ports with porttype BOUNDARY only in TRANS and 802.1Q tagmd. All traffic received at the port that is tagged with the same 802.1p user priority is processed by a single traffic conditioner for the CoS that is provisioned for that user priority (see userpri2cos in ED-ERATE). The CoS level for untagged traffic is set to the default priority (dftpri) or 0 if dftpri is NA. There can be one service for each provisioned CoS (up to 4) at the port. The stacked/outermost TAG user_priority bits are marked with the CoS and the drop precedence, which was determined from the traffic conditioner, according to the provisioned user priority mapping (see ED-ERATE). But the customer VLAN TAG user_priority bits are untouched and preserved.

    The COSPORT traffic management mode in TRANS tagmd applies only to the LNW70/LNW170 circuit pack.

  • TAGPORT: This mode is valid for ports with porttype BOUNDARY only in 802.1Q tagmd. All traffic received at the port that is tagged with the same VLANid is processed by a single traffic conditioner. The user priority bits are remarked with the dftpri2cos (see ED-ERATE) and the drop precedence determined from the traffic conditioner according to the provisioned mapping (see ED-ERATE).

  • COSTAGPORT: This mode is valid for ports with porttype BOUNDARY only in 802.1Q tagmd. All traffic received at the port that is tagged with the same VLANid and the same CoS is processed by a single traffic conditioner for the VLANid and that CoS. There can be one service for each provisioned CoS (up to 4) on each provisioned VLANid at the port. The user priority bits are remarked with the CoS and the drop precedence, which was determined from the traffic conditioner, according to the provisioned user priority mapping (see ED-ERATE).

Setting trafmgmtmd to TAGPORT or COSTAGPORT is not allowed when tagfilter is DISABLE. For the same reason, it is not allowed to set tagfilter to DISABLE when trafmgmtmd is TAGPORT or COSTAGPORT.

This parameter applies to the LNW70/LNW170 and LNW78 circuit pack but for the LNW78 the only values are PORT and COSPORT.

qwt_ntwkAF

Network Port AF Queue Weighting Factor (WF). Specifies the weighting factor used by the queue service algorithm for the AF queue for packets coming from network ports.

Beginning in Release 9.1, ports on the LNW63 and LNW74 support the following values for total queue size:

  • NA (default) Not Applicable. The ingress queue size is automatically set as a function of mtu_size and fcmd, consistent with releases prior to Release 9.1

  • 128 The ingress queue size is 128 Kbytes. This value is supported for FE ports only.

  • 512 The ingress queue size is 512 Kbytes. This value is supported for GE ports only.

qdropwt0

CoS 0 Packets Drop Probability Mark. Specifies the maximum drop probability mark for CoS 0 packets used by the drop algorithm. Valid value is an integer between 0 and 100% (default value is 100%). qdropwt0 must be ≥ qdropwt1 ≥ qdropwt2 ≥ qdropwt3.

This parameter applies only if the port is part of a virtual switch when the circuit pack VLAN Tagging Mode (vlantagmd) is set to SWITCHED.

Parameter only applies to the LNW70/LNW170.

qdropwt1

CoS 1 Packets Drop Probability Mark. Specifies the maximum drop probability mark for CoS 1 packets used by the drop algorithm. Valid value is an integer between 0 and 100% (default value is 100%). qdropwt0 must be ≥ qdropwt1 ≥ qdropwt2 ≥ qdropwt3.

This parameter applies only if the port is part of a virtual switch when the circuit pack VLAN Tagging Mode (vlantagmd) is set to SWITCHED.

Parameter only applies to the LNW70/LNW170 and the LNW78.

qdropwt2

CoS 2 Packets Drop Probability Mark. Specifies the maximum drop probability mark for CoS 2 packets used by the drop algorithm. Valid value is an integer between 0 and 100% (default value is 100%). qdropwt0 must be ≥ qdropwt1 ≥ qdropwt2 ≥ qdropwt3.

This parameter applies only if the port is part of a virtual switch when the circuit pack VLAN Tagging Mode (vlantagmd) is set to SWITCHED.

Parameter only applies to the LNW70/LNW170 and the LNW78.

qdropwt3

CoS 3 Packets Drop Probability Mark. Specifies the maximum drop probability mark for CoS 3 packets used by the drop algorithm. Valid value is an integer value between 0 and 100% (default value is 50%). qdropwt0 must be ≥ qdropwt1 ≥ qdropwt2 ≥ qdropwt3.

This parameter applies only if the port is part of a virtual switch when the circuit pack VLAN Tagging Mode (vlantagmd) is set to SWITCHED.

Parameter only applies to the LNW70/LNW170 and the LNW78.

hlayercos

Higher Layer Class of Service (CoS) .

This parameter determines whether the packets are classified by a higher level protocol, such as Diffserv Code Point (DSCP) in the IP header.

Values are:

  • NONE: Higher layer is not used for classification (default).

  • DSCP: Higher layer DSCP bits in the IP header are used for classification.

Notes: Higher layer classification is supported only when trafmgmtmd is set to PORT. hlayercos is ignored in other trafmgmtmd modes.

hlayercos parameter applies only to the LNW70/LNW170.

locked_sa

Locked Source Address. This parameter controls whether the virtual switch restricts admission of packets, with source addresses matching ENT-MAC entries with type=PERSISTENT, to this port, and only this port; and discards all others on this port. This parameter applies only if the port is part of a virtual switch when vlantagmd is SWITCHED [see ED-EQPT] and can be enabled only if there are no ENT-MAC entries with type=FILTERED.

Valid values are

  • Enable (source addresses locked)

  • Disable (Initial value)

This parameter applies only to the LNW70/LNW170 circuit pack.

aapslact

Actor_Admin_Port_State_LACP_Activity. This parameter specifies whether a participant in the aggregation group periodically transmits link aggregation control protocol data units (LACPDUs) to maintain the aggregate. If set to Active, the participant will periodically transmit LACPDUs. If set to Passive, a participant will respond only to received LACPDUs from an Active partner.

Valid values are

  • Active (initial value)

  • Passive

This parameter is valid only for a member of a LAG with lag group (lagrp) protocol set to LACP.

aapsltimo

Actor_Admin_Port_State_LACP_Timeout. This parameter specifies the rate at which periodic transmissions of LACPDUs occur.

Valid values are

  • Long (initial value): indicates periodic transmissions at a slow transmission rate.

  • Short: indicates periodic transmissions at a fast transmission rate.

This parameter is valid only for a member of a LAG with lag group (lagrp) protocol set to LACP.

actppri

Actor_Port_Priority. Specifies the port priority for the member of a LAG.

Value: an integer in the range 0 to 65535. The initial value is 32768.

This parameter is valid only for a member of a LAG.
